Scared about a possible hiv exposure

[veryworriedwomann]

im a woman who recently had unprotected sex a few times within the last with an on an off partner, the last time i had sex with him unprotected i started my period straight after. I have asked him if im at risk for any std and he says no and gets quite irritated.

The thing is i have an std which could increase my risk of getting hiv, i also have symptoms which include:

swollen lymph node on neck

pain and aches in my shoulder

weakness in arms

bouts of a high temperature

night sweats where im soaked

extreme fatigue

sudden sharp pains

and just a general feeling of weakness

I know that i need to get tested and i plan on doing that soonish and will repeat again three months, im just so scared that when i do get tested it might not be good news, i dont know what to do, i know that anxiety can bring on symptoms as im an anxious person but ive never felt like this. I know hes 100% heterosexual and i know that its much more difficult for a can to catch hiv from a woman but its not impossible.

Based on my symptoms do you think im at risk

Thanks for getting back to me, im trying to stay calm but is hard and the fact that he doesnt want me to get checked worries me even more.

But i know that only testing can give answers although i have a feeling

Hi, HIV is a risk with unprotected sex. Testing would be conclusive in 3 months post exposure. Risk is not by symptoms but by not using condoms. Just relax and take the test. Anxiety does get the best of us. I got tested a while back for a travel permission and felt exactly as you from my previous affairs.
