can't believe it, really?
Six months ago I had a one-night stand with a woman from asia. Not a sex worker. She was small and the condom ripped. I didn't pull out immediately. I tested at 6 weeks with no problem. One month ago I get the flu like I've never had it: chills, night sweats, fever and so on. I just retested and I am HIV positive. I know this happened but this is such a bizarre event. Are there statistics on one-night stands?

Ease up people, there are no shock waves or any thing that's around to panic. This story is very vague, one can't get ARS 4 Months post exposure, there's a big disconnect here and the story certainly seems to be incomplete. Don't forget this is an internet forum and any one can write any thing, I can make a second user - Osama Bin Laden and post around stating that i got HIV. No disrespect to the original poster, if you were diagnosed with HIV take your questions to - HIV and living with forum.
Move on. You never had a risk of contracting HIV.

As Lizzie indicated, you are not HIV positive until you have had a confirmatory Western blot and it is positive.
As for your symptoms, they could not have been due to Acute Retroviral Syndrome, if the one-night stand you mentioned here was your last exposure. That just isn't going to happen five months after an exposure. You very well could have had H1N1 influenza.
