Worried about AIDS help!?

Almost 2 months ago had unprotected sex with an Australian girl for about 30-seconds to a minute in a pool before i realised i was unsafe and stopped. Since then I've gone to check for the most common std's and results came back that i didnt. Doctor said the likely hood of aids/herpes is very low. But i worry a lot. Anyway, I know that early symptoms are a flu like illness 2-6 weeks after infection. After 7 weeks (last week) I've had a runny nose, sore throat. So now im worried this is because I have AIDS. I checked for swolen lymph nodes around my groin, theres a small bump in one spot but i think thats a vein. A few other people i know have had a cold lately too. BUT im still worried. I'm going to get tested after 12 weeks. Am i just paranoid, or is it likely i have it?

You're getting yourself all freaked out. Yes, early symptoms of an HIV infection can resemble flu but the symptoms you describe sound more like an actual cold. I am one of the unlucky positive people and remember my early symptoms. Swollen lymph nodes...they were all swollen and stayed that way for several weeks. Others I have talked to had swollen nodes that lasted for months and months.

It is very difficult for a woman to pass on HIV to a healthy man. You have no std's and only had sex with her for a few seconds. The chances of you having contracted HIV from her is very low. If you are so worried, why don't you go to your local Aids Service Organization and get tested. Their testing is usually free and they use an oral swab that gives results in only twenty minutes. It is possible to test positive only six weeks after exposure. You should get tested now and put your mind at ease. The agency that you visit will have professionals to council you in your risks and when you should return for follow up testing. You are smart to be safe and committed to getting tested but I think you are probably overly paranoid.

dude your probably just paranoid. i would still get tested but the likelihood of contracting it within 30 seconds to a minute in a pool at that, is relatively small especially if the pool was chlorinated because the chemicals used to keep the pool clean most likely would destroy or at least alter any bodily fluids. so next time wrap it up and try to calm down.
