symptoms help
2 weeks after intercourse I had a sore throat that lasted 2 days. Afterwards, I have had excessive phlegm and mucus that drips down to my throat and I have to constantly cough it back out. It's been almost a month now and the problem still persists. 2 months and beyond is outside the ARS window, but do early symptoms appear after ARS or are there only night sweats afterward? Thanks for your time.
I also noticed two swollen lymph nodes at front left of my neck, only palpable but not visible without straining.
Was the sex unprotected or not? Never trust symptoms, they mostly mean nothing as symptoms of HIV can be confused with tons of other illnesses.
HIV is diagnosed through a blood test, not through signs and symptoms.
If you have had unproetcted sexual intercourse, you can go for a HIV test earliest 1 month after exposure and retest at the 3rd month for a conclusive result.
