What's the likelihood?
On April 23 and one other time a few days later I had unprotected sex with a guy (vaginally). Around April 25 I felt some hiv symptoms: swollen lymph nodes, sore throat, fatigue. Is it possible to get symptoms that early? What's the statistical likelihood I contracted hiv. Ordered the hiv rna test and anxiously awaiting the results so hopefully with this community will be able to calm down.
No one can really say if your test will be negative or not but the likelihood of a female getting HIV from a single exposure even from someone with HIV is 0.08% or 1 in 1250.

Took the hiv rna test at 11 days and got a negative. Is that conclusive?
Also if I'm sick with a cold or something that won't affect the time right?
RNA is conclusive after 10 days and no the cold wouldnt affect the result
Any help would be greatly appreciated

2 days for ARS seems too soon and unlikely,majority of ars are likely to be 2-4 weeks after the exposure.
So your is very unlikely due to ars,its just too soon.

THank you for your reply. So even though I still have all the symptoms mentioned because it started a couple days after it may be another virus?
It's not possible to get symptoms that soon - neither HIV nor any STD shows symptoms that soon, ever.
If you're concerned about HIV, just take the test, collect your negative result and move on.

Curfewx thank you for your reply. I took the hiv rna test on Saturday and am anxiously waiting for the results. I really hope they are negative
Do you think it will be negative?
