Hello,

Thanks for writing in.

Having flu like symptoms, certainly does not mean HIV seroconversion.

We have to look at the background first.

As the person used pre-packaged studs, there is negligible chance of HIV transmission.
These days, the piercers are very professional and take care of these things so there should not be anything to be worried about.

Nevertheless, no time is bad time to get tested for HIV.

You may consider getting yourself tested at a local hospital.
This type of testing is called screening (tests done in healthy individuals).
Look at it as a normal blood check up. Do not be worried or anxious.

I hope I have answered your query.
If you have any further question, please let me know

Thanks and regards
