Headache and HIV

[Rory7465]

Hi,

I regularly go for STI testing and always use protection but 2 weeks ago had sexual contact with someone I didn’t know in a one night stand and can’t remember many of the details

Since then I’ve been having painful headaches that I normally put down to sinuses, but wondered if this could be down to another issue like HIV? (having read about it being a symptom)

Have already undergone another test 2 days and I’m waiting for the results but would like to manage expectations

headaches would not be a common way of HIV presenting. 60% of people have no symptoms after acquiring HIV. Test at four weeks post possible exposure to verify
