Hiv ars worried

[Nickw85]

I went to a sexual health clinic to get a full sexual health screen including a blood test. Test results came back all negative and i did not have any high risk sexual encounters in last 3 months. However, exactly after 11 days of my blood test i got cold. I do not have fever but having sneezing(very little), blocked nose, runny nose and small caugh for 3 days. And today (14th day after test) i had loose stools 1 time. I am very worried that somehow i contracted hiv from the clinic during blood collection. When i searched online i saw hiv ars normally strat after 10 days and include the symptoms that i am having. Can someone please help me here. Do i need to test again. Please help, thank you in advance.

What i can not understand is that, even with symptoms at right time ( cold like symptoms after 10 days) how can someone say it is not possible?

You posted your question here because you didn't know if this was a possible risk. And the answer is no because that is not how HIV is spread. There's nothing you can say that will change that fact.

Can someone please let me know whether my symptoms ans their timing is consistent with the ARS? I do not want to infect anyone else.

Kindly reread the last sentence of the advice given, repeatedly until the full meaning is clear rather than rephrase your question for no useful purpose.

You did not get HIV from getting tested. Clinics take every possible precaution, or else they would be out of business due to being sued constantly. The fact that you got sick after being tested has nothing to do with HIV. If you're unable to accept this reality then it would be in your best interest to find a therapist to discuss your irrational phobia of HIV.

Thank you...I was bleeding more than normal and used few cotton wool balls to stop bleeding. I am worried there may have been someone else's blood on them.
