See a doctor: You can also got oral gonorrhea from unprotected oral sex. See a doctor and get checked! It is much easier to get this than HIV, although that is not impossible.

Recommend testing: It will not be possible to use your symptoms to determine if you have HIV.The best recommendation is to get tested. The avg window period w/ HIV-1 antibody tests is 25 days for subtype B.Antigen testing cuts the window period to approximately 16 days and Nucleic Acid Testing further reduces this period to 12 days.If antibodies are detected by an initial test, the ELISA it has to be confirmed.
