Symptoms of HIV/AIDS
I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend in December 2016, January and February 2017. That is three times. He has had unprotected sex earlier but that was long time back and same is with me. After the third intercourse that is in February a few days back, he is facing some symptoms like feeling hot and sweating and I am having a sore throat. I want to know if there are any chances of HIV/AIDS. How and when does it happen and how to confirm without checkup. Really worried.

there is one concept of Window period that means if some infective micro organism enter into our body and you test on next day your report comes negative even even micro organism present in your body. test will come positive after overturn number of day , weeks or months onky
every disease and every test have different window period
hiv 1 pro viral dna QUALITATIVE test has window period of 17 days that means you have to do this test only after 17 days to get accurate result
HIV DUO has 3 month window period
RAPID HIV ELISA AND OTHER CARD TEST HAS 6 month window period
same way HBsAg, HCV and VDRL has window period of 3 month so you have to do it after 3 month of exposure.

Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
Think of more rational reasons.
He might be feeling hot and sweating because of the weather.
You might be having a sorethroat because of some infection be it viral or bacterial.
Confirming HIV without any check up or test is impossible.
Best regards.
