What Do Headaches And Cold After Intercourse Indicate?
Question: Patient ProfileGender: MaleAge: 17Visited a Doctor: NoMedications Tried: N/A
Okay, So on Monday, I had sexual intercourse for the first time. After a week I am feeling sick, I've read online it could be symptoms of HIV, like flu, but I don't believe I have the flu, but at the same time were i live is very cold, like -5 and i wait for 20 minute buses outside in like a sweater, or at work I open and close the drive thru window like ever 50 seconds, and I'm warm then get exposed to Heat. I only have little headaches and cold sometimes the headaches go away and sometimes they come back, i'm also on my computer a lot doing my homework. and very stressed working 44 hours a week plus school and homework, and it only started this last afternoon after I did my road test and passed to get my licence? Could it be I was nervous too? Stress that I do not sleep enough time, or that I was like outside for more than 2 hours in a sweater this whole day. But the head pains are on and off; they sometimes hurt then it goes away then comes back. But my mother has vertigo attacks sometimes so maybe I will be like were with that illness. , but that could be because I'm always in shorts at home and no jacket outside, but at the same time i have like a pimple near my asshole, but that has happened even before i had sex. It just shoes up and hurts when i poop. I'm really worried, if you could help me that would be nice.

Brief Answer:
Your symptoms are unlikely to be due to HIV.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
Well, you had thought of various possibilities. Good analysis.
Flu or fever like symptoms are so common and can occur to anybody at any point of time, especially in a country like yours when the temperature outside is around -5 degree Celsius.
Moreover, the earliest possible symptoms in a HIV infection can occur only after 3- 4 weeks after the exposure. So this fever or flu like symptoms could not be due to HIV.
All the sex workers are not necessarily have HIV infection. All exposures are not necessarily infectious.
Your anxiety also can cause such symptoms.
So not to worry. Consult your physician and get examined your blood for HIV after the window period to rule out HIV. That will relieve all your tension. In future always stick to safe (protected)sex.
