Please help similar Ars early HIV symptoms
Hello I'm starting to get very nervous aprx 2 months ago I had a 1 night stand which has been the one and only time I have done this. On vacation after a bad break up lots of alcohol. The condom slipped off and I did not relieve so was unprotected for several minutes (I am a man). I was a little sick 2 days after but figured I was just run down.
Now 2 months later about 7 weeks after exposure I got a crazy cough (not dry was coughing stuff up, black stuff probably because I quit smoking pot and I was sick and lungs were clearing) swollen glands but not strept, and a fever that hit 101, and night sweats which I believe started before all this. I run low fevers. I took a zpack but the entire time I still had a fever around 99.5. Now two weeks later I still have that 'sick' taste in my mouth, glands are a little swollen and it's hard to swallow but it feels like I have a bit of a post nasal drip. And the big thing is my temp is all out of whack all day. It starts at 97.8 than jumps to 99.0-99.4 than down than up. I'm not sure if it's night sweats or just the weather warming up and I'm normally a sweaty guy. But when I was googling about my temp I found HIV and I was freakin out after sleeping with that chick and now I really am. Of course she swore she hadn't been with anyone for months and she is the one that had the comdom so I'm hoping and praying she is care with others. I know the only way to know is with a blood test which I will be getting in 2 weeks when my medical insurance kicks in.
Is this fluctuating in body temp symptoms of ARS I see confusing info some that it will be over 101 for 2weeks some that it is a low grade fever that don't go away which for me would be around 99.0 but it does go up and down. Thank you I'm just trying to ease my mind a bit until I can get tested and than deal with the consequences of my stupid actions on what was a terrible vacation that I just want to forgrt

Thank you, I know I was just hoping to learn some of the symptoms better. There' is conflicting info online. I guess I'm going to have to be scared for the next 2 weeks
Thank you for the reply. I am traveling for a new job so I won't be able to have any test for 2 weeks and that's the only way to know. Is it common for the body temp to fluctuate like this. I just need some piece of mind for the next 2 weeks. I know the chances are low but neverthe less the risk is there. I am also in very good shape I'm an athlete and have not lost any weight I'm stronger than I was and no rashes. It's the temperature and taste in my kmouth that's getting me really scared
You have had a risk from the condom slip. A lower level one, but a risk nonetheless. You can test with an antibody test now for a near-conclusive indication of your true status. Then again at 3 months to comply with CDC guidelines.
I do not expect you to test positive from a one time condom malfunction. Also, you cannot use symptoms to self-diagnose yourself with HIV. They could be linked to a number of different things. The only way to know your status is to test.
