What Causes Muscle Pain, Dizziness And Cough?

i had protected anal sex with my boyfriend, who is HIV positive, a week ago. I was the top. however the oral and rimming was not protected, no ejaculation in mouth, only precum, i spit out frequently during oral and rimming. kissing was not protected as well. there was a tiny cut on my upper lip, but not bleeding. my boyfriend has been taking treatment for HIV for about 2 years, his viral load has been less than 20 copies per ml. However, I have been feeling Muscle aches, dizziness, chills, coughing and tired the day after sex. i am only feeling dizzy and lightheaded now. some rash appeared between my fingers and are quite itchy, I applied some bath salt lastnight and they are getting better today and no longer itch. there is a little complication, i have not been feeling well for a week before the sex, and i went to the gym the day before the sex. during the sex, we had the air-conditioning on, so i might get a cold from that and feel worse the next day? so i am not sure whether the symptoms are related to HIV infection or not? can it be this early? i guess it is too late for PEP now? if i get tested now, would the result be any help? or i am just being paranoid? please help me i am going nuts.

Hi,

As your partner is HIV positive, so take proper precautions while doing sex. Don't do any unprotected act. It's very to early to say that these symptoms are because of HIV. It may be a viral fever.

Kindly take tablet Tylenol, syrup Benadryl for cough and HIV testing now and after 6 months after physician consultation. You may require antibiotics if you had fever. Keep your self-hydrated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale,
