After having sex with a women who is HIV positive, how long will it take to infect me? what are HIV syndrome?


after having sex with HIV infected women how can i know that i m infected?

Most people who have HIV have no symptoms for several years after they get infected. Some have flu like symptoms within a few months after getting infected, but there is no way to tell the difference between flu symptoms caused by HIV infection and flu symptoms caused by actual flu.

The ONLY way to find out if you have HIV is to get an HIV test. It can not be diagnosed any other way. The testing is designed to detect antibodies to HIV, not the virus itself. Most people who have HIV test positive within 3 months after being infected, but in very rare cases, it can take up to 6 months for someone to test positive.

Once you are infected, you can transmit the virus to others within one day after you become infected--before you would test positive, and long before symptoms show up.

Get tested 3 months after your last possible exposure, then retest 3 months later. You can check the website hivtest.org to find free testing sites in your area. Just enter your ZIP code.

well for starters women are more likely to get it from men than vice versa, so if it was a one off the chances are you did't actually become infected. definitely possible but you would have to be unlucky. you'll need to take a test after six weeks. that's the minimum length of time before the antibodies usually appear, but you'll have to keep getting retested up till six months to make sure you're in the clear. and next time,wrap it!
