Flu, 15 days after sauna visit.

[gay87]

Got loaded thrice, twice by a friend on prep and one load from a stranger. 
 

day 15 - suddenly at 4am, had a sharp pain in throat. Running nose follows suit. 
 

(test neg for covid) 

day 16 - running nose, body ache on my right arm only, night sweat begins, soak my sheets, 

day 17 - dry persistent cough, body ache shifted to left shoulder, still having running nose (but slightly lesser) , night sweats, 

(test neg for covid) 

does my timeline sounds like hiv (normally I heard people here got it after 7 days??)  I’m scare of blood, when is an ideal time to discreetly purchase oralquick?

Could be but only way to know is go the clinic but could also be normal flu or a bug that’s going round so on always get checked out

Timing is close to what I often see described, but it could just be a coincidence.  Oraquick might not be a bad idea if you want to know and be discreet.  Otherwise go to the clinic and get tested.

Sure, but it also sounds like just about every other virus. Just remember, the symptoms are produced by your body's response, not by the virus itself.

For example, it's nearly a ringer for whatever I just got over, which was itself a dead ringer for Covid, but tested negative for that. Whatever it was, was exceedingly unpleasant. And I'm pretty sure I caught it from my cousin's 7-year-old (or his mama), so it sure as heck wasn't HIV.

According to the CDC, an antibody test for HIV (such as those using oral samples) can first accurately detect HIV infection 23-90 days after exposure. Anything earlier requires blood sampling.

Onset of seroconversion symptoms occurs 2-6 weeks after exposure. Seven days would be a bit early, but if you had your first indication at day 15, that would fit the profile. I would recommend getting tested as soon as feasible.

From what I've come across. Runny or blocked nose is not a symptom of seroconversion. Most likely one of the many colds going around. 

Regardless you should get tested if you're ever in doubt and regularly regardless. IMO.

Yeah, you are right...  normally what I hear is fever, chills, body aches...  sinus symptoms probably are something else...
