HIV Symptoms after 3 months

Hi .. I had an exposure with a woman.  It was a protected vaginal sex and an unprotected oral sex.  I was very terrified.  I did the analysis after 75 days and 90 days and they are all negative.  But after the second analysis.  I had a fever, severe sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes behind my left ear, could it be a late serum shift?  Please help me

There is really zero left to say about this no risk experience you've had.  As we aren't able to help you overcome your anxiety, it would be best to talk to a doctor about this mental health issue. Because at this point, this is not an HIV concern and we can't help you it seems to believe that.  I wish you luck and say with compassion to address the anxiety issue to feel better.

You are being paranoid. As suggested to you, you were never at risk for transmission. Please consider counseling to get rid of your irrational fear.

Thanks Mike.  Yes, I was very worried.  I fear the symptoms that appeared after 3 months, which lasted 5 days.  Do I have to test after 6 months?
Do you always go around testing for diseases that you were never exposed to? Why not go get a pregnancy test instead? They sell those at the dollar store so you would only be wasting a dollar instead of a much more expensive HIV test, which you also don't need, given that you were never exposed to HIV in the first place.
LoL By speaking, I'm not a female ... I don't need a pregnancy test.  My question (hiv)after 6 months.  Final. Or after 3 months ??
Exactly, you're a man which is why a pregnancy test would be pointless for you. Just the same as an HIV test is pointless for you because you were not exposed to HIV.

Thank you all.  Is it possible to switch from negative to positive after 3 months ??  .. We heard a lot that it can be late sometimes, what is the credibility of this ??!

No. You heard wrong.

This wasn't a risk for HIV. HIV is only transmitted from unprotected vaginal or anal sex or sharing of IV drug needles.  So, no risk from your activity and this is proven by your negative tests.

The reason why your tests were negative is because you were never exposed to HIV in the first place. Using a condom prevents the spread of HIV and oral sex does not result in HIV. Therefore, your symptoms are completely unrelated and have nothing to do with it.
