Do Headaches, Distorted Vision And Breathing Issues Post Intercourse Indicate HIV Infection?

Hi Hassan here,I ll just tell you my story. I had sex with an unknown female with a condom but it broke and I wasn t aware of it till I ejaculated. The female was not straight forward about her status. Two days after the encounter, fatigue started where I could not keep my eyes open. The days after followed with a headache every single day till, distorted vision, congestion, runny nose, what looked to be a rash behind my neck and chills. Forgot to mention weakness and breathing problems. This has been going on since two days after this encounter. Needless to say I ve already convinced myself tI have HIV I m just waiting the appropriate time to get tested. What do you think?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
It appears that you are very anxious about your HIV infection.
The symptoms what you are experiencing could be due to infection. It could be due to Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD).
Kindly get tested for the following:
1. HIV test.
2. VDRL test.
In case it is only STD with VDRL positive, you can get it treated and cured.
Even if HIV is negative now, kindly test it once again between 3 to 6 months to know about its status.
Kindly take opinion from Physician in this regard to clear your doubts.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
