    You'd have to be unlucky to have got HIV after having unprotected sex just once, even if she was HIV+, but it's not impossible.  Just get tested though, and you can stop worrying.

    HIV isn't as scary as it once was btw.  If you google "rather have hiv than diabetes", you'll find an article by a UK doctor saying that he'd be a lot more worried about diabetes as the outcomes are worse.  Most people don't worry about diabetes though, even though it's so much more common.

      Most men with HIV have symptoms in the first month, and the symptoms you describe don't really match HIV anyway.  Just get yourself tested though, and you can stop worrying about HIV, and maybe find out if you have some other illness.
