I'm concerned because I had a 1 night stand exactly 5 and a half weeks ago with a woman. I didn't know her HIV status or any status at all. I did use protection but im worried because I got a fever,chills, headache and dry cough for a week now exacly 5 weeks after the event . I did go to a family party a day before i got sick and a few people got sick also after the party. So I'm not sure if it was the family party I got sick from or could it be an STD like HIV because these seem like acute HIV symptoms.....im very concerned. Also, I don't sleep around with multiple people. Since I was so paranoid, 2 weeks after the event I actually got tested for STDs and it came out negative but for HIV they said I have wait 90 days and come back. Maybe I'm stressed and over-thinking but I hope someone can clarify all of this for me..
You need to relax. The symptoms of HIV are common symptoms of everything else. If this fever stays for long then ask a doctor, but remember that a fever is not always serious. Take a breather. Relax. Watch something to calm yourself, and await your, most likely, negative test result.
Thank you very much......I've really been waiting for a reply and I appreciate it. I already feel better, and you're right. I think I need to relax.
If you need someone to talk to about this sort of stuff, then send me a private message.
Best of luck to you Sincerely, a fellow overthinker
