worried

I am a male. I had unprotected sex with a female October 10th. 4 days later I started getting what i think is inflammed glands in the groin area this morning. I recently had a cold so I am recovering from that. I have not noticed any new symptoms of a cold.

Since then there has been lingering on and off of head cold and flu symptoms but nothing major. This last week i started to feel really fatigue everytime i would come home from work and sometimes sleep all night. Within the last few days there has been somewhat of a sore throat but very weak. As of today my throat glands must be swollen because it feels very hard to swallow. Also to me it feels like my glands down in the groin area seem swollen. The only thing i think this could be is HIV. Does someone have any suggestions? I am going to get tested tomorrow but i am really stressed out.

The feeling that comes when something burdensome is removed  I can relate to a similar experience of mine but a female., but the comfort  zone being relaxed and feeling no pain;"he is a man who enjoys his comfort" "she longed for the comfortableness of her armchair" to our daily living., but the act of
showinggreat kindness toward the distressed
is a blessing when is done.
Good luck!  Healthy holidays!

I got my results and all my tests were negative or normal. As for the symptoms my doctor said maybe its because of a respitory infection. Whatever the case is i dont feel as fatigued anymore and seems like the other symptoms have gone away.

I think you may not have hiv. These can be due to many other factors as well.

Sorry this is updated story

I am a male. I had unprotected sex with a female October 10th. During sex about 10 minutes into it i noticed blood from her on my penis so I immediately stopped. 4 days later I started getting what I think is inflammed glands in the groin area. I recently had a cold prior to that so I am recovering from that. I have not noticed any new symptoms of a cold at the time.

Since then there has been lingering on and off of head cold and flu symptoms but nothing major. This last week i started to feel really fatigue and everytime I would come home from work I would start getting really tired around 7 and alot of times sleep till the next morning. Within the last 7 days there has been somewhat of a sore throat but very weak. As of today my throat glands must be swollen because it feels very hard to swallow. Also to me it feels like my glands down in the groin area seem swollen. The only thing i think this could be is HIV. Could be other things? Is my situation a high risk situation?  Will taking a test tomorrow give me results? I am going to get tested tomorrow but I am really stressed out.
