Ask Sexpert: ELISA test & unprotected sex

Q: I am a 22 year-old-man. I had unprotected sex with a prostitute four months ago. A couple of weeks ago I got an ELISA test done under the guidance of a physician and the results were negative. During this period, I had some symptoms of HIV, which is why I underwent the test. How can I ensure I don't have HIV and that I don't need any more tests like the western bolt? Can tension give rise to HIV-like symptoms?


A: You have no infection; confirm with another test after 5 months. Symptoms of HIV are similar to common illnesses except they persist.
