Thank you both. This certainly eases my mind until I can get tested.
Welcome back to our Forums. Your risk for HIV from the events you describe is very, very low. Before we even begin to consider the risk of transmission of infection, you need to consider the likelihood that she had HIV. For a woman in U.S. who is not an IV drug user, the chance that she has HIV is less than 1 in 1000 an probably closer to 1 in 10,000.
If she had HIV, most exposures do not lead to transmission of infection. For vaginal sex, the statistical risk of infection is 1 transmission for every 1,000 acts of intercourse. Thus, your risk, putting these two numbers together is conservatively 1 in a million.
Your symptoms are not suggestive of early HIV infection. Furthermore, such symptoms are non-specific and are likely to be due to something other than HIV.
If you want to get tested to confirm that you did not get HIV, an HIV antibody test at 6-8 weeks will almost certainly be negative, providing proof that you did not get HIV.
Hope these comments are helpful to you. There really is very, very little to be concerned about. EWH
The chance your partner had HIV is unlikely(1 in 600), you catching HIV from her is an even less chance. (1 in 2000) some say there isnt enough of the virus in the vaginal secreations to infect you.
symptoms would come at the same time. 97% you would get a fever.
Get tested at 3 months
Also my throat seems pretty normal. How often do you see people with symptoms similar to mine that end up being positive?
Thanks again.
