Cough after sex. What are the odds that I have HIV?!


Question: Cough after sex!. What are the odds that I have HIV!?
I am going to get tested but would like some input before i take the test because I am really nervous!. A bout a year ago I had unprotected sex with a female friend of mine!. The next day my glands were kind of swollen and I developed a cough that eventually went away!. It was the same cough or at least extremely similar to a cough I had before, which I went to the doctor for!. He told me it was smokers cough, or post nasal drip and gave me some meds and it went away!.

I am scared though because it was so soon after sex!. What are the chances that I have HIV am I overreacting!. I will be getting tested regardless!.

Please not to many jokes :)

Thanks Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
There is NO WAY that symptoms of HIV would show up one day after sex!. You probably just had a cold, or smoker's cough as your doctor said!.
You can get an HIV test for peace of mind, but it is unlikely that you have HIV!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Over reacting, I don't think so!. If you have never tested you are very normal, there are a lot of fears testing for HIV and most people tend to look at the most negative view of testing!. The good news is that if a person gets a HIV+ result now days it is not the death sentence it was 15 years ago!.

From what you have stated your "symptoms" don't really look to be HIV related, have you looked into allergies!?

But the good news is you are testing! That is great! I know it can be very frighting but when you have your results you can then make decisions that will be good for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
