What Causes Sore Throat And Fatigue Along With Swollen Lymph Nodes?
Hi, a 3 weeks ago I received analingus and unprotected fellatio from another male (I am male.) Now, I have a cold, symptoms being: sore throat, fatigue, swollen lymph nodes. I am wondering what my chances are of contracting HIV? From what I have read, there should be a negligible chance, but this illness and timeframe has me worried. Thanks.

Till then continue Saline or Betadine gargles twice a day.
Take steam inhalation.
