Do i Have HIV
I had vaginal intercourse with 5 different african women in November 2016. 2 of them were protected but 3 were not. Since January 2017, i have pain in the right shoulder and base joint of left thumb. Do any of you have any idea as to if this is related to HIV or any other STD ?
Unprotected sex is a risk. The only way to know if you have been infected is with an HIV test. If you take a test now it will be conclusive. Symptoms are not used to diagnose HIV.
