Hi Harry,
Thanks for writing in.
The symptoms described by you can be simple FLU or upper respiratory tract infection.
But also it can be seroconversion illness of HIV.You have a small but definite risk of HIV with this kind of sexual behavior.
It is better to get an ELISA for HIV done at this point .Negative test must be confirmed at 3 months .
I advise you to practice safe sex.
Hope this helps.
