Fear of impeding doom

High risk exposure. Top to a hiv+ man that I did not know at the time. Symptoms start a week later, but some disappear. The only tensing symptom is this low grade fever of 13 days, night sweats off and on, and lymph nodes that showed on the 12 of fever. I was using a condom with the guy but it popped while entering, I was barely in, and his viral load is low. I know my chances are supposedly high but these symptoms are prominent. And the fear of impeding doom grows more and more.

I meant to say my chances are lower due to of a low viral load supposedly less than 100 but I don't trust anything that comes out his mouth. And these symptoms are prominent. God forgive me, have mercy on me, and give me strength.

Yeah I know,  it's just crazy how these symptom are popping up at different times. I don't get it. And if I am positive and it's looking like it, I hope I have a long life.  *sigh* *crying* I know what needs to be done.

Unprotected anal sex=high risk, so please get tested with a duo test at 28 days. There is a risk. But you will never know till you get tested get support from friends and relatives. Do not go symptom hunting. Testing will be the best way!
