He pulled out
I am having significant marital problems and have recently had 2 affairs, not using a condom in either case. I know- really stupid. In both cases he pulled out before he came. The first affair was about a month ago. Yesterday I started having severe flu-like symptoms, and I am really freaking out about my risk of having contracted HIV. I am going to get tested tomorrow, but does anyone have words of wisdom to help me get through the night?
you put yourself at risk by having unprotected sex...not once, but twice.
you can do a test at 6-8 weeks and get a good indication of your status...but according to the guidelines, you must follow that up with a test at 3 months for a CONCLUSIVE result.

At first ur partner should be free from HIV, any way, It all depends on when the affair took place and when has ur flu like symptoms appeared. The duration of a hiv window period is 6 months. If ur symptoms prevail for more than 14 days then its time to check out ur doctor. The test made after 3 months of the exposure would give the right results than before. So wait and get tested accordingly.
