Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query at HCM.
I understand your concern and situation.
I would like to tell you that it is unlikely that your present problem is related to HIV or STD. I would suggest you not to worry and just maintain genital hygiene. You can take tests like HIV PCR test after 6 weeks or 4 th generation ELISA test after12 weeks if unprotected intercourse in past. If you have itching then it could be fungal infection if no itching then nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query. You can take a follow up query
If no clarification then you can close the discussion and rate the answer
A review will be appreciated

The symptoms you described are not of HIV. But if you had unprotected intercourse then I would suggest you to take tests for your mental satisfaction which is unrelated to the present symptoms.

Brief Answer:
No need to think of HIV.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
The symptoms you have described are suggestive of seasonal viral infection. So nothing to worry about. Just take rest. If fever develops acetaminophen will be beneficial and for cough and cold cetrizine twice daily and ambroxyl syrup twice daily will bring relief. Do as I suggest. You have no possibility of HIV infection. If fever rises then you must visit a physician for evaluation and investigations.

Hi
The symptoms of HIV in initial stages are non specific.The time between when a person is infected and when they develop illness may be anywhere from a few months to 10 years or longer.
