What Are The Early Signs And Symptoms Of HIV?

Hello,

I was in a relationship from May to August of this year. My partner was tested for HIV and received Negative results in April and then Negative results again in July. We had one unprotected sexual encounter in July, and because of that I am dealing with some paranoia. Do I have a reason to get tested?

Hello
Since your partner is NEGATIVE for HIV infection , so why are you worrying.
Anyhow, I am writing early symptoms , so that you will get some information about HIV.
Approximately 50-70% of infected individuals experience an acute syndrome following primary infection. The acute syndrome follows infection by 3-6 weeks. Symptoms are:
Fever, pharyngitis, headache /retro-orbital pain, arthralgias/myalgias, lethary/malaise, LYMPHADENOPATHY,anorexia/weight loss, nausea/vomiting/diarrhea.
Erythematous maculopapular rashes.
Mucocutaneous ulcerations ( on tongue and in mouth).
So you are not having most of these symptoms , so no chance of HIV infection.
Still you are in paranoia , so get in P24 rapid nucleic acid amplification test as early as possible .
Window period as I mentioned is after 2 weeks of initial infection.
Good luck.
