Negligible possibility of HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.

I can understand your concern for the possibility of HIV after the incidence.

After analyzing your query with best diligence there appears to be no reason of acquiring HIV infection. So let you be reassured for negligible possibility of thedame. There are certain important reasons for the same.

It is because of the fact that the condoms provide the best mode of protection against HIV. Condoms if used properly gives best protection. It has been proved sceintifically that HIV virus can never pass through the latex condoms.

Now coming on to the point of lethargic feeling. This is not the only symptoms of HIV as well as not the first symptoms of HIV. In case of HIV infection there is always high grade fever along with certain specific symptoms. So do not consider your lethargic feeling with HIV.

Still if you are tensed then at this time you can go for rna PCR for HIV to clear all doubts.
