possible acute hiv??
firstof all sorry for my english
before two months I went with a prostitute in a brothel. not something strange was happening about condoms (i dont understand to have happened ).14 DAYS later a Sunday. I got up to 38 fever, I got a ponstan( like advil) and I was fine.no fever for the rest of the day.
the next day I woke up with 38.2, I went to a physician . he told me that i may have '' a viral illness''. he suggested me taking ponstan or depon (advil) and to come back if the fever continue after 3 days( 3 whole 24hours he told me).all day i have 38.2.
the next morning I had 38.5. So i went to the local health center. the physician told that i have abnormalities in lung ausculation, so he suggested me to go for chest xray. He told me( from xray diagnosis) that i have bronchitis. he gave me antibiotics for 10 days because of the risk of pneymonia if the fever persisted. Meanwhile I had no sore throat muscle aches nothing at all.
the next day.... I dont remember if i had fever...perhaps i had from 37.0-37.5( i had it for one or two days) . In the evening , i had a strong pain in throat and swell just under the right chin and it was very tender.I sufferred when i shallow. furthermore I had pain in the right ear and right cheek. I had ONLY ONE mouth ulcer(2-3 mm) but perhaps i had it before the onset of fever but i am not sure.I had pain for almost two days. All duration symptoms were not more than 5-6days ( 3 days fever , and 2-3 pain in shallowingand the ONLY ONE MOUTH ULCER for 2 days ). no rash no swollen lymph node(exceptfor the local under the chin) no naysia no vomitting no diarrea. I mentioned to the physician the pain and he told me that the ''virus'' hit me there after bronchitis. I had mono 10 years ago, so i know how is when the lymph nodes are swollen (like beans). the swelling and pain that i had under the right chin was not like bean but like a local inflammation which affected the whole right side of my face(cheek , ear)
Ι am very anxious for 2 months and I am afraid to go to test. all day i search internet for symptoms. i didnt find anything about bronchitis and acute hiv but i can not calm down. I had not RASH.
I read that the fever in acute hiv is unknown cause. I think that my fever was not of unknown cause and it was due to inflammation of bronchi (bronchitis). Furthermore Ididnt find anything in acute hiv associated with lung ausculation.
what do you think? it was just a '' viral illness'' or something worst. I live a a nightmare two months now i have not the courage to go for a test in this period. I am thinking of going after one or two months. If I have the worst, this delay will dangerous for my health? I read that hiv+ begin haart 2-3 years after infection and not immediately. is it true?
thanks

Based on your posting, I can NOT conclude anything different from what has been told to you already by LIZZIE LOU, Teak, And Vance. You have been advised accurately.

no one here can diagnose your health concerns. we are here to discuss hiv...and you have been assessed as NOT having a risk.
move on...

sorry , if I bothered you with my question but I am in a very bad situation with the existance of these symptoms in summer and i am afraid of testing. I am a person that the last time i had fever was 3-4 years ago.
The only thing , which I would like to know was , if someone can conclude something from the symptoms ( i didnt find anything which associated bronchitis -diagnosis via pulmonary abnormality in auscultation and xray - but the other symptoms made me anxious 3 months now.
thank you.

your "symptoms" are NOT caused from hiv infection. you had PROTECTED sex and were never at risk.
if you are having health problems...see your doctor...it's NOT hiv related.

you say this due to symptoms or due to protected sex?

i am not going to assume anything because the condom did not break, you would have known that it broke.
thanks vance for your reply.
If we assume that i something went wrong with the condom and not got wind of it , what do you conclude from the symptoms(duration , severity, one oral ulcer)? I read that acute hiv resembles glandular fever whereas the sound abnormalities in ausculation dont indicate anywhere.
I want to hope that my illness was result of adenovirus infection (bronchitis, pharyngitis and swollen node)

protected sex=no risk.

Move on.. Your symptoms have nothing to do with HIV.
nothing , i used condom and i checked it after ejaculation and i think that all became correctly.
but
these symptoms made me anxious and the 14 days incubation period which i found as a median in a paper

What was your risk?
You are reading content posted in the HIV Prevention Community
Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
