Fever after sex?
I had sexual intercourse (I am a female and it was with a male) for my first time on Saturday night around midnight, and got a fever the next afternoon that lasted about a day. I know fever is an hiv symptom but is it even possible for those symptoms to show up in less than 18 hours of having sex? I've heard it takes longer so this likely means I do not have hiv correct? We used a condom, but did about 5 seconds of bare skin contact later on just to feel it. Thanks for your help.
