Could Occurence Of Flu Like Symptoms After 5 Years Of Contact Be Due To HIV Infection?
Sir It was around 5 years ago that I went for a haircut at a local salon . For shaving the barber didn t change the blade . Around 15 minutes would have passed between the last shave and mine . Recently I read somewhere that flu like symptoms occur after a few days in case of an HIV infection . My main concern is that after that shave 5 years ago , after 34 days I had suffered from fever . Fever wasn t too high .fever remained normal in the morning and went high after noon . I couldn t remember any enlargement of lymph nodes however . It went on for around a week . Sir I am really scared . Were those hiv symptoms ? Please help !
No these are not due to HIV . 5 years are a lot days and there are epidemiological evidences that through haircuts/barbers you can't get HIV as HIV gets destroyed easily once it comes into contact of environment or soap .
