Could I have HIV?
Oct 9, 2008

I've been with my bf for a year and a half. I was a virgin before I was with him but his first sexual experience was anal sex with another girl. Apparently they went for anal because she was not on the pill and they didn't have a condom. This was the only time my bf had anal sex but the no condom thing raises exclamation marks in the mind.

I have had cold/flu-like symptoms for over a month now including a constantly runny/stuffy nose, sneezing and every so often I get a really sore throat and sometimes coughing. I seem to pick up colds very easily.

Is it likely I am infected with HIV?

Response from Dr. Horwath

You need to get an HIV test. That will answer your question.
