Hi

I went out one weekend and to cut a long story short, I woke up in a house naked with a man, I have no memory of how I got there what happened or anything. I got dressed and left the property as I was so ashamed of my self. I noticed on the bedroom floor there was opened condom wrappers on the floor, I am assuming we had sex and praying we did use condoms however I dont recall anything of the encounter.

On the monday I got a cold sore on my chin and my throat had a lump like it had swollen up, My face turnt really dry and I had a pimply rash all over my chest.I also had crippling back pain and sharp pain in my abdominal area, All my results came back negative at the clinic however I did have a UTI -urine infection the doctor explained this is why I had the ache and pain.

I have been extremely worried about the possibilities of contracting hiv from this event , after I took the antibiotic for the uti the symptom's stopped, they have came back now and i feel the uti maybe have came back. I cant eat or sleep from worry. I went to the doctor and explained my situation and he said it was clear that I wasn't imagining the back and muscular symptoms but it could be from stress from worrying. I now have back ache, mild sore throat. I am going to take a test this week which will make it 5 weeks since the event, I know it best to tesat at 3 months however I don't think I can wait that long without having a breakdown.

I am from the uk, female and I believe the guy to have been a straight jamaican. Did I put my self at high risk?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
If you can manage to have a 4th generation test (it detects both viral protein and antibodies) you could have a 99% sure result.
If you could combine this 4th generation test with a HIV RNA test (it detects the genetic material of the virus) you could have a conclusive answer.
Best wishes,
Nick
