A member asked:
12 days ago i had unprotected sex, is it possible for hiv symptoms to show such as extreme fatigue and painful joints and sore throat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Virus : Yes. It can also be the flu or other virus . HIV testing is done for the viral load after 12 days of new contact, the antibodies (the standard test) is not positive after 12 days. Yes I have seen patients with new HIV present like a flu.
