Opinion Please

I had protected sex two days ago and am feeling flu-like symptoms. It was mostly protected oral sex (i'm a male) with about 5 seconds of intercourse. But as i pulled off the condom, I think i brushed the head of my penis with some vaginal fluid that was on my fingers.

Do HIV symptoms occur this quickly? Any ideas on this? I'll probably get the 3 month check just to be sure but wanted to hear your thoughts.

Thanks in advance.

You never had a risk for hiv infection so your symptoms are related to maybe stress or anxiety over the incident, i wouldn,t be that concerned.

Thanks for the comment.

I don't have a high temperature, woke up with a slight sore throat but it went away. Felt decent throughout the day but then started feeling tired, head started ringing...felt like i was high.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

You had protected sex therefore you had no risk.Also hiv transmission occurs inside the body not outside it.ARS symptoms appear at around 2 to 4 weeks after infection,they include very high fever, very sore throat,and rash on trunk--torso and limbs which does not itch.I would forget about this situation and move along with your life.Well done for using protection.
