Are Muscle Aches And Throat Pain Symptoms Of HIV?
Hi Doctors,
My anxiety making me away from testing HIV. But I'm not sure I'm infrected or not , i had an unprotected sex with an massage therapist from bali which was just for 10-20 seconds without condom, after that i had sex with condom even that lasted for around 5 min and that was my first sex in life.
I had a flu like symptoms for 3 days, but that was manageable I wasn't in bed rest, and got to have possible all symptoms like muscle ache, two three red bumbs like rashes(4 to 5 days) throat pain,
And at the same time i had quit smoking cigarettes which i used to smoke around 5 to 6 cigarettes a day,
I feel soo nervous when to test or should I test and from where to test in Bangalore(India)
Please doctors advise me an help!!

Hi thanks for contacting health care magic...
Here your symptoms can be from simple flu...
Take benadryl like antihistaminic drug for congestion relief ...
Salt water gargles done ...
More water .Excess spicy avoided ....
It is better to avoid smoking ...
Diluted betardine gargles can be useful...
If no recovery after three to five days throat swab taken for culture and sensitivity....
Here as unprotected intercourse there HIV should be ruled out after one month of window period by Fourth generation ELISA or western blot examination to nearby patho laboratory ...(western blot best but costly )
Advise : Physician consultation for examination....
Take care ....
