View Full Version : Hiv Panic
Hey,
I was potentially exposed to the HIV infection by having anal intercourse which was unprotected (i recieved) however the guy i slept with assured me he was HIV- but naturally there is no garuentees, anyways its been about 5 weeks since it happened and now i have a bad sore throat and runny nose and am worried this is a sign of accute HIV infection!
Does this normally happen or is this just a cold?
Any help really grateful! :) x

It is probably a cold but you should get a test done anyway for your own peace of mind.
Far too soon to have any symptoms, get a blood test done to settle your mind. And please, please get protected. Don't let anyone touch you without some form of protection. Be very careful.

I would get tested asap, as there are other sexually transmitted diseases you could get, other than HIV. Hepatitis can be more prevelant than HIV, so i would be tested to make yourself sure and yes don't have unprotected sex, it's not worth it unless you know that person is clear.
Dont know if im allowed to ask this, but did the guy ejaculate in you(analy)
If he did, then DEFO get a test, but im pretty confindent you be okay.
If he didnt then I really doubt you would have anything to worry about.
But all being said, each time you get a cold from now on you will be panicking & wonfdering & thats no way to live a life when a simple test will sort you out.
Its scary doing it but imagine how good you will feel when the result comes back negative!
Went through a simular thing myself earlier this year i was convinced i had contracted hiv and like you i thought i had symptoms related to it. I had a test after 6 weeks which came back negative and another test after 3 months which also came back ok. After reading up on it i also now realise how difficult it is to actually become infected with it. I am sure you will be ok.

Sorry for digging up an old thread but this is something that really concerns me at the moment. I am going for a test this week but stupidly googled it and saw all these generic symptoms. Admittedly the only clear one I had was feeling tired and achy but I have a young daughter and work full time.
Then I read that you can get cold like symptoms and I had those and a couple of stomach upsets and stuff over the last couple of months and a cold in the last few weeks. But then the rest of my house also had a cold and I suffer from IBS so bouts of stomach cramps and upsets happen.
I don't know what to think but I am really scared. I was made to have sex repeatedly and now I am so worried about it.
