So stressed out
Dear sir/madam,
On the 11th of September I made a huge mistake and now I'm panicking and slowly dying.. I had protected anal sex and had piles which was bleeding when he was trying to penetrated but according to him he couldn't insert and stopped when the blood was visible and also takes prep pills.. I asked if he had hiv and he said no and I cannot function properly due to stress and my friends also said there's no risk ? I have a few question to ask.
1. I have a fever which started from 2 days ago but aren't sweating at night and have no sore throat or runny nose is that ars symptoms ?
2. Is prep pills for hiv neg people?
3. Do I need hiv testing?
4. When should I take hiv testing
5. Was I at risk ?

So much drama. But you had protected anal sex. That is why they call it protected sex. Becauxe that is what it is protected. So you had no risk for hiv. And as an advocate of std screening if you are a sexually active individual. It would be good to have yourself every 3-6 months for your own health.
Thank you so much for your reply, do you recommend me going for hiv testing ? And is my fever part of hiv ?
Please re read what i told you. Based on this you do not need to test. But if you are sexually active get a full panel std testing like every 6 months.
Nope not an active sexual person.. But I do have a history of great health anxiety and something can kick it off again :( which is why I'm scared for life !! Is it true prep pill is for hiv neg ? Shall I pass the fear ?
As you were told, you had no risk.
PrEP is for individuals for put themselves at risk more often.

I suddenly have a swollen behind left knee cap and it hurts when I walk is that part of hiv ? It's been 4 weeks and 3 days now should I take a rapid test ?
If the test will give you peace of mind. By all means go ahead.
Shall I get rapid test this week as i will enter my 5th week.. ? How accurate will it be ?
You had no risk.
Went for a 4th generation test and result came back negative.. And said the result is 95% Accurate at 32 days or almost 5 weeks is he right?
No risk.
Thank you
But is he right ?
Is who right?
My doctor, he said at 5 weeks rest assured it'll be neg as it was neg today in the test, he said no point in coming back as it'll waste my own time
Your Dr is fine.
Thanks for the assurance
Is 5 weeks for a 4th gen reliable ? I'm starting to have a sore throat and a runny nose and I think that's a cue for ars symptoms right ?
You have been advised multiple times that you did not have a risk.
I still feel very bad for some reason :( I can't shake it off I feel like what if I have it and the test didn't pick it up
