Let me preface this by saying I tend to
blow little symptoms way out of
proportion. Anyway, about a month or so
ago I had sex with a girl I vaguely knew.
She claimed (when asked) to have been
recently tested and completely clean. We
used protection, but at one point the
condom broke, and there was brief contact
with vaginal fluids. The condom was
replaced and intercourse resumed. A few
days later I noticed a very slight burning
with urination and a continual urge to
pee. I went to the doctor, he gave me a
uti anti-biotic, it cleared up, and I was
one my way. Now, a month later, I am
experiencing symptoms very similar to mono
(which I had a year ago.) I realize these
are the same symptoms as hiv, which appear
around this time, or so I have read. Is
it possible I contracted hiv? Clearly I
am getting tested, but I am hoping the
chances of getting hiv (assuming she even
had it - she did seem pretty crazy and I
later found out had slept with 20 some
guys) are slim.
