Q: Flu-like symptoms - HIV ?

Hi Everyone,

Last year in July a had a sex with a woman; we used a condom for the intercourse, but she performed an oral without one (condom)- although it wasn't a harsh one; rather she was kissing, licked etc.

Two or three weeks later I have developed flu-like symptoms that lasted two or three days. Then for the next 4 or 5 months(especially in the first month) I have had a strong nausea, about once a week or so. Sometimes it was so bad, I had to stop driving to take a breather.
Now, for the last three months I feel constantly sick: No fever, however I'm constantly cold (sometimes experience hot flashes), my head is stuffed, my nose is blocked etc. - just like mild symptoms of cold that just don't go away.

What is it? An HIV? Can someone please advise?? I'm sick worried!!!

just in case........
Get tested as soon as possible.These symptoms could be a number of things but they are also could be HIV symptoms ..that doesn't mean you have HIV and I am not trying to scare you but get tested ASAP and DO NOT have sex with anyone until the results come back.Good luck.And ALWAYS practice safe sex 100% of the time.
