I’m a guy who had sex with a girl at a party. I used a condom but after I felt really tired and feverish. It’s been two days, could I have HIV?

Chances are you some sort of flu virus. Contact your doctor to check for other causes of your fatigue and fever. HIV signs and symptoms would not present that rapidly. In fact, many people who contract HIV do not notice symptoms for years. We do offer free HIV testing if you want to be checked for reassurance. The next testing at the Boulder Teen Clinic is on June 1st at 4pm. The next testing at the Longmont Teen Clinic is on June 16th at 3pm. Another thing to keep in mind is that there is a slight window period between HIV infection and when a test will detect HIV antibodies. That window period is three months after the time of supposed transmission. In the meantime, be sure to use a condom anytime you are sexually active.
