hi people who have recently been infected with hiv often experience a short flu-like illness two to six weeks after infection. symptoms include fever sore throat and body rash. you can only be certain you have hiv if you have an hiv test. if you think you might be at risk you should seek medical advice immediately. the earlier hiv is diagnosed the earlier you can start treatment and avoid becoming ill. if you do have hiv delaying diagnosis will allow the virus to cause more damage to your immune system and your health. the sooner you get tested the sooner you can start treatment and avoid passing the virus to someone else. do hope this helps you. good luck
what's my risk of exposure from protected insertive anal in which the condom broke and receptive unprotected fellatio? . when i noticed the condom was broken i stopped immediately though i am unsure of how long it had been broken- minutes? seconds? how worried should i be about hiv? should i get tested and how long should i wait (3 months? ). my partner showed his negative results to me and he mentioned the test occurred this past month but i know that any sexual encounters within 3 months of the test date might not show up on the results and i don't know his exact level of sexual activity since testing.
