Please help me.

I am a 20 year old girl. I started seeing a guy, who I found out later on has done some questionable things in his past. We used condoms every time we had vaginal sex. However, we had anal sex three times, and the condoms kept tearing, so he just did not wear one.

Since last week, I have had some very strange things go on. I have chronic headaches for the entire week that have not allowed me to sleep (I mean SO bad. It feels as if I've been hit by a freight train. I do not get these normally), my throat is sore, I've had dizziness and nausea (which can be from the horrible headaches), low grade fever, and all around malaise. I also feel as if a cold sore is starting to form on the left side of my lip.

I have ordered the Oraquick HIV test and waiting for it to arrive. I am seriously terrified by these sudden and onset symptoms. Do these sound like HIV symptoms? I know I can't tell until I take a test, but I am just wondering if the ARS has crippling headaches.

My family is not taking me seriously. They are not taking me to the hospital even though I have complained about my all around discomfort.

When I put pressure on certain areas of my abdomin, I have sharp pain. If I exert myself while going to the restroom, I feel a sharp almost stabbing sensation in my uterus.

I'm at a loss. Please help me

I will. Is there anything I can do in the meantime to help these symptoms? They are consuming my life. I can't sleep or even think.

Unprotected sex is a RISK. Get yourself tested with 4th gen test at 28th day.
