How do you know if you are infected with hiv / aids?


i did something stupid during my vacation.
i got a girl, and only asked for a handjob coz i am scared of sluts, i just got one due to peer pressure. and i didnt climax.

so during this vacation, many factors are involved, got too tired from walking around the city, and i was sweaty and got into an airconditioned room all of a sudden, then walked around again, at the end of the day i felt really tired and i got a fever. 1 day after i felt better, but ive been getting alot of sweats for the 3 consecutive nights now, everynight i have been sweating at sleep. now i am thinking if there is any possible way i got this virus. i am so stupid. wish i never did what did. please reply back your serious answers... i have no clue what's happening to me.

and i definitely want to have a hiv test, when should i take the test? after how long?

you're fine, but let this be a lesson to you.

1) you would NOT have signs of HIV or AIDS in 1 day. People with AIDS and HIV go months without realizing sometimes.

2) unless you were cut on your penis and she had a cut on her hand (both bleeding to allow fluid transfer) then you cannot get it from a handjob.

3) you sound like you got some kind of virus, but it is NOT an STD (something like a flu). It could also be dehydration/heat stroke.

4) calm down you are ok!

HIV can only be contracted through intercourse on oral sex if u exchanged bodily fluids with and infected person u cant get HIV from skin contact and u really should know this if ur getting randoms to tug u off! the only way to get tested is a blood test from your docters results take a few days u suggest u go to sex ed in the mean time and read up before getting anymore handjobs! lol

if u r infected with hiv u won't get the symptoms with in a day or two. it will nearly take 6 months to get the symptoms.
any way its better to have a test regularly up to 6 months. this is my serious advice don't neglect

The best way to know if you are infecte is by blood test, go to your near holpital and ask for a test

you cannot receive HIV through a handjob. You have to swap intravenous fluids somehow, through sex or blood.

How can I tell if I have HIV?

The first symptoms of HIV infection can resemble symptoms of common cold or flu viruses. The symptoms of early infection can also be similar to the symptoms of other sexually transmitted diseases and other infections such as "mono" or hepatitis, which are much more commonly and more easily transmitted. Stress and anxiety can also produce symptoms in some people, even though they do not have HIV.

Some people who contract HIV experience very strong symptoms, but others experience none at all. Those who do have symptoms generally experience fever, fatigue, and, often, rash. Other common symptoms can include headache, swollen lymph nodes, and sore throat. These symptoms can occur within days or weeks of the initial exposure to the virus during a period called primary or acute HIV infection.

Because of the nonspecific symptoms associated with primary or acute HIV infection, symptoms are not a reliable way to diagnose HIV infection. Testing for HIV antibodies is the only way to know whether you have been infected; however, the HIV antibody test only works after the infected person's immune system develops antibodies to HIV. During the "window period" between the initial infection and the period in which antibodies are detectable (which can be from 2 weeks to 6 months, but is usually 3 months), standard HIV testing is ineffective.

If you are concerned that you may have recently acquired HIV and have symptoms described above, see a doctor. A doctor or other health care professional can help determine whether you may be infected with HIV or another infection. If HIV infection is suspected, he or she may perform a Polymerase Chain Reaction (commonly called "PCR") test to determine whether HIV is present in the blood.

Once the primary or acute infection is over, most people do not experience any visible symptoms for another 8-10 years. Left untreated, the immune system becomes increasingly weaker and the disease progresses to AIDS. The next symptoms experienced by individuals infected with the virus are often associated with the "opportunistic infections" that target individuals with AIDS such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, and toxoplasmosis.


How can I tell if someone else has HIV?

There is no way to know for sure if someone else has HIV. Many people with HIV look perfectly healthy. Other people who are sick with HIV may have symptoms that are identical to other common illnesses. You cannot tell by looking whether someone is HIV positive. The only way to know for sure is if someone tells you. It is important to consider how well you know someone and how much you trust them when talking about sex and HIV.
