Hello. I'm A Female Who Recently Had Unprotected Sex (I
Hello.
I'm a female who recently had unprotected sex (I know, idiotic mistake) for the first time.
Three weeks later, my glands below my jaw are swollen and painful. It's so painful tonight that it hurts to lie down. I have also been having headaches, and occasionally I am feeling strange aches in upper abdomen which come and go and are on either side.
I get very warm and sweaty in the evenings and can't sleep with the covers on anymore. I have no appetite.
A few days ago I broke out in colorless raised bumps all over my face which went down after two days.
I am never usually sick and obviously now I am absolutely freaking out to the point where I gave myself a panic attack in the library.
I think it's important to add that I have been tested for chlmydia and Gonorrea and am awaiting the results. Exactly 20 days after my exposure I also got a fourth generation 20 minute blood test to check for early HIV which came back negative.
Please help me, I am beside myself that the test was inaccurate and that I'm going through seroconversion. I can't wait three months until my next test.
What should I do?
