3 April this happened, and then 8 of April, i had Hot Flashes, and on the 12 april, i experience some cold chills with no fever for 4 days which is a sign of infection, Since monday 8 april to 2 weeks body feeling warm due to an infection i think
Had this warm feeling body for 2 weeks, my body temperature fluctuated from Fever 97.9 to 98.7 which means i have an infection, I had 2 days of malaise during the weekend with body aches, and some joint pain, Also some mouth sores

As I said, I read all your symptoms with care. They are not suggestive of HIV.
As for not testing for fear of the result, don't be stupid. It isn't the test that gives someone HIV. You have it or you don't. If you do, you have to know it in order to get lifesaving health care. Further, research and everyday experience show that when someone is anxious about testing and worried about the result, stress and anxiety decrease after testing. Even if the result is positive, knowing for sure is less stressful than worrying about it. And anyway, your test almost certainly will be negative.
So suck it up and just do it. I will not respond to any more discussion about such nonsense as being afraid of it. Post your test result if and when you have done it, but otherwise please do not post anything else on this thread. This isn't a hand holding service for people who refuse to follow reasoned advice.

I dont want to go test, cause i have this feeling i got hiv , from one single exposure, i have had bad luck for a long time...
Well i am concerned of the unexplained chills i had, and the feverish feeling i had for 2 weeks, which i am at my last hope, that i have HIV, I am just worried i dont know what to do with my life now

I saw these comments before I replied above. None of this changes my opinion and advice. (In the event you ask another question in the future, please limit new qeustions to the initial window.)
I look forward to hearing the result of your HIV test and/or the outcome of a professional visit with a doctor or clinic. Until then I won't have any other comments or advice.

Welcome to the forum. I'll try to help. But it is obvious you are emotionally distraught; based on the discussion I see in the HIV community forum, it seems you are not thinking very clearly about this.
If your partner had HIV, there was perhaps 1 chance in 500 that you might have caught HIV the time the condom broke during anal sex. So if we assume a 10% chance he was infected, the chance you caught it was 1 in 5,000. So the odds are very strongly in your favor.
From the community forum, I believe you had EBV several years ago. You probably no longer have an active infection. But if you do, it will have no effect on catching HIV, symptoms, or time to postive blood test results.
I reviewed your symptoms very carefully. None of them suggests HIV. They sound mostly like the physical manifestations of anxiety and stress.
But the big question is this: Why haven't you had an HIV test?? With the modern tests, you can get accurate results as soon as 4 weeks after exposure (for the duo test, i.e. HIV antibody plus p24 antigen) or 6 weeks for an antibody test. (See http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/1704700).
My advice therefore is to stop speculating and stop worrying. Visit a doctor or clinic and get tested for HIV. Then return with a follow-up comment to let me know the result. In the meantime, try to relax. Your test probably will be negative.

April 3 Condom Broke
April 9-10 got some hot flashes which indicates a infection on other sites
April 11 Thrush came back again, fungus geographic tongue, mucus on stools, due to low immune system
April 13-17 was experiencing chills with no Fever, they came on and left the chills for a couple of minutes due to all the infection, Arpil 14-15 was experiencing Muscle Aches, and some Joint pain that came and went away
April 8-23 I was having temperature of 98.6 fluctuating to 97.6 which changed for me and something different, And also have sweated alot more, sweating excessively
Lost some weight , 3 lbs due to sweating alot, which means infection right.
Also body feels weird, and think left side lymph nodes are swollen due to some pain i had on the left side of body
Are these some fevers?
Are Chills without fever sign of infection?
