Question: Hi, 24 hours ago I visited my friend who has been in hospital the 3 days getting blood tests because she has been feeling sick with a rash, a headache for 2 weeks that won't go away, strong fatigue, sore throat. Anyway I had a meal sitting next to her and a drink which she handled. I then discovered she was transported from a small town to the city here in an ambulance and given many pills and blood tests and is going back to hospital tomorrow. I'm concerned as tonight 24 hours later, I'm feeling quite I'll and feel a flu like sickness coming on and is hitting me hard. Foggy vision and weakness like a flu is coming. My friend is now being very distant and hard to get hold of and I don't know what's wrong with her. Whatever it is it sounds bad because hospital is keeping her in for testing. I haven't known her long but she has tattoos and I'm worried could this be acute HIV infection? I read this can occur within days of infection from someone newly infected because of their high viral load. I know it's only been 24 hours, but many years ago I contracted a glandular fever type virus within a day from someone who was sick I was then very sick within a day and took years to recover. Also I'm in Vietnam in a big city which is pretty clean, not in a small town. Im here from Australia. Do I need to see a doctor? Could this be HIV infection if she had fluids on her hands which touched my cup? Many thanks
