 [ Symptoms ] do i have hiv and could i have given it to my boyfriend  i had unprotected a few times i never got tested or had symptoms i have been dating a guy for 2 months and he is suddenly had a really bad flu i know that once you have contracted the virus it takes 2 12 weeks to get acute retrovirus syndrome which include fever fatigue and often rash headache joint pains swollen lymph nodes and sore throat he had all except the rash & swollen lymph nodes if he really did have the flu would not it be contagious no one else caught the flu from him [ Disease ] anyone who is had unprotected sex is hypothetically at risk for contracting a number of sexually transmitted diseases stds among them hiv the only way you can know for sure is to get an hiv test which i would highly recommend because everyone should know their hiv status i would not jump to the conclusion your current partner had acute retroviral syndrome it is flu season if he did not get vaccinated against influenza then he probably just had the flu the severity of flu symptoms can vary greatly from one person to the next and while yes influenza is quite contagious that does not necessarily mean anyone else around him would contract it in fact anyone around your partner who is had a flu shot would be protected from getting the flu from him but my larger message here is that both you and your partner need to get tested for hiv not because you are especially likely to have it but because as i said anyone who is having unprotected sex even once with multiple partners has a responsibility to know their hiv status and please practice safe sex hiv is just one of many stds you could contract and pass to others by not using a condom thank you i have all the symptoms that you describe i took the test after 1 year and 3 months it came negative but i have all the symptoms now now my girlfriend also having the symptoms i think its some viral infection if you have some problem wait for 3 months and have the test
