Question : Hi, I had unprotected sex with a new partner two days ago. Since then, I have felt weak, and have little appetite .

Brief Answer:
Symptoms are unlikely to be due to HIV /STD

Detailed Answer:
Hi, Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
Following the sexual activity tiredness is a common sequele for everyone. Don't confuse it with weakness.
No STD or HIV can lead to weakness just within 2 days following the exposure.
Earliest manifestations of HIV can occur 4-6 weeks after the exposure, not earlier than this. If your feeling of weakness is a real one, then it could be something else other than HIV.
