Question : I had sex last week with protection on. Two days passed and I noticed my belly button was red and sore. So I put so.e hydrogen peroxide and cleaned it with a cue tip. The next day I felt very tired and my throat was alittle scratchy. My joints on my right side felt very sore. And this morning I woke up sweaty, that might be because I had my windows closed and my fan turned off. I had no fever or rashes but didn't feel like myself just very tired. It's been about 5 days, any idea what it could be? HIV or something els
