last week i had sex with a girl that i met
at a club. We had unprotected sex. Just a
few days ago, i felt headache , sore
throat and muscle pain. So now i wanna ask
what should i do? Should i get tested
immediately or wait for a few more weeks
and get tested? Is circumcised penis
brings any difference to the potential
rate of infection?
Thanx in advance

You have to get tested, but not right
away. HIV takes a while to show up on
tests. If you get tested now, it is too
soon for it to show up, so it would say
you are negative either way. You have to
wait about six weeks. If you test
negative after about six weeks, wait a few
more and test again. That means you will
have to go for some time waiting and
wondering. You will have to be very
careful and always use a condom for a few
months so that you do not infect anyone
else if you are infected.
As far as being circumcised goes,
researchers are still studying the
relationship between circumcision and HIV.
Some researchers say circumcised men have
a lower rate of getting HIV, some say they
have a higher rate, and others say it all
depends on what country the study was done
in.
Whether you end up testing positive or
negative, be safe in the future.
