A member asked:
Hi, i had a protected sex around a week ago. i have been feeling very tired and fatigue for past 4days. is it from anxiety or hiv?....

Most likely anxiety: While it's not impossible, it's very unlikely to catch HIV or other sexually transmitted disease after/while engaging in protected sex. So feeling tired & fatigued afterwards is more likely due to anxiety from sex act. However, if you already are HIV positive, that could explain tired, fatigue AND anxiety, too. Of course, there are other reasons for feeling tired & fatigued: anemia, hypothyroidism
