Q: Sore Throat a Symptom?
asked by: Cav-girl on December 20th, 2007

I have had one partner for the past three years. The last time I had unprotected sex with somone before him was 4 years ago. I am just now developing a soar throat that I have had for more than a month. A lot of websites have this as a symptom of HIV. Could my past be catching up with me? I know I was dumb then, so this scares me.

What are you kidding me? A sore throat can be a symptom of anything. Plus you had sex 4 years ago. The onset for HIV is between 3 and 6 months. If you are worried you need to get tested that is the only way to know for sure.

Question Transmission
Hi, can a woman get HIV if she had unprotected oral sex done on her a few times, engaged in deep, prolonged french kissing, and had no underwear on herself and sat on a guy's penis(which was covered by his semen-soaked underwear), and got semen on her index finger, but wiped most if not all of it off, then grabbed her labia minora with that same finger? i don't know where t post this question, so someone help me here please?

I always suggest getting tested at 90 days and then again at 60 more days just to be sure.
The only way to make sure you are HIV negative for life is to not have sex at all and we all know that isn't realistic so as long as you are going to visit prostitutes you will have to be retested each and every time.And always ALWAYS use a condom.
