What Causes Fever After Protected Intercourse?
I had sex with my girl friend who is HIV negative using a condom. We ve been having sex and i have been using condoms and immediately after sex i do take the antiretroviral drug. After 2 weeks i started feeling feverish, does it mean i am infected?

Hello,
It has got nothing to do with sexual contact. Most probably it will be an unrelated simple viral fever. As a first-line management, you can take paracetamol for fever.
If you are worried, you can simply go for a serology test just for reassurance.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
