tests detailed below
Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend
If you had no intercourse , vaginal / rectal /oral , it is unlikely that you will get
HIV.
But
herpes can be transmitted through kissing and handling infected objects.
You can get your self tested for herpes. I am not sure whether the Government hospitals ICTC department tests for Herpes or not , but you can visit them specifically
STD department. Even if they don't test , they can tell you where you can get tested for herpes in your city.
Following tests are done for herpes infection :
1. Herpes virus antigen detection test
2. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test
3. Antibody tests - Most commonly employed test - Because
antibodies take time to develop after the first infection, you may not have a positive antibody test if you have just recently been infected. Usually test becomes positive after 1-2 weeks.
Your
flu like symptoms might be as a result of co-incidentally a viral infection.
However , with the infection of HIV and Herpes , Flu like symptoms sometimes occur at onset on infection.
Get tested , Be sure.
