Aa
do i have HIV aids??
Ok so around a month and a half ago I had sex with an african man and he removed the condom somewhere during intercourse, we also gave each other oral sex and now i am suffering from sever soar throat and high fever and it has been like this for 3 days now, could this mean I have aids?? please answer quick I am terrified
ars...symptoms of infection, come at 2-4 weeks post exposure. your sore throat and such are not indicative of infection
you had a risk by not using a condom.
you can test at 6 weeks to get a good indication, then at 3 months for a conclusive result.
it isn't likely that your sore throat and fever are due to becoming infected with HIV. there are many many people on here and in the world who get multiple flu like illnesses every year so dont stress about them.
and just to let you know. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS years later....its incorrect to call AIDS a virus

Random hookup? hmm...You certainly run a very high risk of having contracted HIV. Unprotected sex with an uknown partner could be the riskiest activity when it comes to catching infections.
You gotta get tested @ 3 months. Fever and soar throat certainly rank high amongst the listed ARS symptoms. You don't have AIDS as it takes years of progression of HIV disease to develope into that.
Make sure you tell all your sex partners about this or simply avert having sex until you have a clear HIV status. There are a few tests that can detect HIV much earlier than the popular AntiBoby tests. You can choose to get em only if you can't hold your nerves for 3 months...
Good Luck....
