Hi milkchocolate

Sometimes when someone is first infected with HIV they will get something which is called a seroconversion illness. This happens 2-4 weeks after you get HIV and can feel like the flu. Fever, Rash, feeling tired etc. Here is a link for more information
http://www.stdresource.com/disease/index.php?page=edit&id=5&action=viewfull

These are general symptoms to a number of illnesses like the common cold and given how common the common cold can be in Canada (especially in the winter) the symptoms do not really tell you a lot about what you may have.

People can be very worried about these symptoms when they come into the clinic. I usually tell people not to focus on the symptoms but rather to use it as a reminder that you should get a HIV test.

The other time you could get noticeable symptoms would be when HIV causes AIDS. On average this takes 10 years to happen. AIDS symptoms can vary a great deal depending on what type of infection you have gotten because of your lowered immune system.

On average most people with HIV feel fine and would not know that something is wrong. A blood test is the only way to find out.

In BC all HIV blood testing is free and even if you go to your family doctor you have an option of not using your real name.

Here is a link to the main STI/HIV clinic in Vancouver.

Hi Peter

I don’t know your full history but I can give you some suggestions based on what you wrote.

You said that you had sex with a condom 5 weeks ago (2 weeks for flu symptoms to start and you have had these symptoms for 3 weeks). Unprotected vaginal and anal sex is considered high risk for passing on HIV. Given that you used a condom (I am assuming it stayed on from start to finish and did not break) I would say that your chances of getting HIV are very low.

There is a lot of flu going around this time of year and chances are you just have that rather than contracting HIV. Given that it has been going on for 3 weeks I would suggest you visit your family doctor for a check up. If there are some details about your sex life you do not feel comfortable talking to your doctor about you can visit an STI clinic first to do some testing and then see your doctor.

It is really common to worry about this situation. Getting a HIV test no matter how low the risk can do a lot for the mind.

You can always send me a PM if you have more personal information you want to share or want to know where the nearest clinic is.
