yea a little over a year ago i had unprotected vaginal sex w/ this girl of unknown status. For the past couple months i have been really tired and have been having back pain. Does this sound like hiv?
-
also ive been tested for all other stds and didnt have any of them...but i just cant muster up the courage to get an hiv test. i know some day i will but its pretty scary.

nooby,
Symptoms, or even the lack of symptoms, mean absolutely nothing when it comes to hiv infection. The ONLY way to know your status is to test. You can test now for a conclusive result.
You need to know that hiv is a fragile, difficult to transmit virus and more so from a woman to a man. The odds are definitely in your favour of testing negative.
You can be scared as you like and still get tested - that won't affect your results. Go test and get it over with.
