POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE


Hi J.

Thank you for your email.

Having a mild common cold (with symptoms of sneezing, runny nose or cough) is not a presentation of the acute or primary HIV infection after having unprotected sex. It is another viral infection. You can read about the symptoms of acute or primary HIV infection here:

I hope I was able to answer your concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other questions.


Stay healthy,
Pozziepinoy

Email 221: OFW Who Thinks He Has HIV

Hello Pozziepinoy.

Ask lang ako about hiv testing. My posibilidad po ba magkaroon ng hiv kahit gumamit ng condom. Im here in singapore gumamit ako ng babaing bayadan thailand national cia. Lasing ako noon kaya hndi ganon katigas ang ari ko. Pero gumamit ako ng condom cguro 5mins lang ang penetration then tapos na. Wala ng sumunod dun. Last August pa po nangyari yun.
