hiv early symptoms men
HIV/Aids question… Please help?
I am a bi-sexual man and had sex with another man about a week ago. The condom broke, which as you can imagine, scared me! I have now got flu, which apparently is an early symptom of having contracted the virus. My muscles and joins hurt, and I have a dry cough too.
The thing is, my brother was sick with the flu a short while ago, and my dad is also sick at the moment with flu. My uncle also has the flu, but he works away during the week, and was away when he got sick. I’m not sure if I got it from them, or if this is really a sign of having gotten the virus?
It is too early to take an HIV/Aids test, and I’m worried. What should I do?
Please, only serious answers.
you can get a rapid hiv test. They are more costly but the test the antibodies much sooner than the other test. The flu like symptoms are signs of hiv, which usually occur a week after the act, but it could really be the flu. If your worried, i would consider the rapid test to ease your mind.

Chlamydia can be easily treated with antibiotics. Because chlamydia and gonorrhea often occur together, people with chlamydia may be treated for both diseases at the same time. Chlamydia bacteria can infect the cervix, rectum or the urethra. Sometimes, it can also infect the throat after performing oral sex.

These symptoms appear after about two weeks of sexual contact. If chlamydia is left untreated it can cause serious complications. In the early stage antibiotics can clear chlamydia within a week or two and you are free of the disease. Afterwards, it becomes a long drawn process to get treated. Therefore it is important that you get treated immediately as soon as you see any symptoms described above. Your doctor will take a swab and test you.
