I had safe sex with 3 girls in last one month and from last one week facing fever weakness appetite loss and blood in mucus.taking doctor prescribed medicines to overcome these symptoms.

if you think you have herpes go with your doctor. he will take a sample (swab) of the lesion and send if for testing at the laboratory.

what was your risk? did you have unprotected oral, vaginal or anal sex? if not, you were not at risk.

do not spam the boards with the same question. your risk is still the same, no matter how many times you ask. zero!

you used a condom and it did not break. you do not have to worry about HIV. i also highly doubt it's herpes, but here is a fact sheet on herpes.

in any case, your symptoms are unrelated to HIV. just continue to listen to your doctor. and for your own sanity, please stop searching and matching symptoms! that only makes you more paranoid, so stop!
