Can Flu Necessarily mean a HIV symptom after you had a needle accident or unsafe sex ?


Can Flu Necessarily mean a HIV symptom after you had a needle accident or unsafe sex ?

And do all symptoms appear or only a few or only one appear as an early HIV symptom?

Guys I mean an running nose or flu early symptom. In a week after an unsafe sex or needle accident.

It can but it doesn't always. The only way to know for sure is to get tested. Early detection could potentially save or prolong someone's life. No assurance you get here could take the place of actually getting tested, especially when there is a double risk with the needle and unprotected sex.

If you are asking for yourself I would say be brave, get tested, and soldier on. There is counseling and support groups to help if you are positive and remember there is also a 50% chance that you are not. If you are not thank your lucky stars and be careful next time. Either way you (or whoever) owe it to yourself and your loved ones to know for sure.

I am not quite sure what you are asking exactly. Here are the main symptoms of HIV:
1.Rapid weight loss
2.Dry cough
3.Recurring fever or profuse night sweats
4.Profound and unexplained fatigue
5.Swollen lymph glands in the armpits, groin, or neck
6.Diarrhea that lasts for more than a week
7.White spots or unusual blemishes on the tongue, in the mouth, or in the throat
8.Pneumonia
9.Red, brown, pink, or purplish blotches on or under the skin or inside the mouth, nose, or eyelids
10.Memory loss, depression, and other neurological disorders

Getting the flu isn't a symptom of HIV, if you have had unsafe sex go to your doctor or a health clinic and get tested for all STI's (std's). You may experience only some of these symptoms, and it is a progressive disease, so you would experience more symptoms as time passes. You can get medication to slow the progress of HIV. Good Luck to you.

Edit: Ok, well if you have a runny nose and the flu, this is not a hallmark of HIV, so you can stop worrying so much until you get tested. It is extremely unlikely that you would notice symptoms of HIV a week after your encounter anyways.

"Becoming infected with HIV and becoming sick from AIDS are two different events. For most people, it takes many years from the time someone is infected with HIV to the time that they develop symptoms of AIDS. Some people get sick sooner and others stay well longer, especially with treatment. However, there is almost always a significant period of time after infection when an HIV-positive individual will have no symptoms at all -- often 10 years or more. " So rest easy and make sure you get that test done- no more unsafe sex or using needles!!

if u wanna sex u must marrey

You should go to your local parenthood and get a RESULT because any answer you get here is not true.

Get tested and don't share needles and use protection.

Get educated on STD'S and the risks.

don't think only because you have a flu you got HIV it can be something random.But just to be sure get urself checked.

use a condom next time

usually hiv has no symptoms, but it usually comes after 10 years.
