Answer 1

Could it just be that you feel guilty of having unprotected sex? The only real way to put your mind at ease is to go and have an Aids Test.

Answer 2

Primary HIV infection is the first stage of the disease. Some who have just been infected have symptoms that last a few days and may include:

Fever.
Chills.
Night sweats.
Rashes.
Sore throat.
As the immune system loses its effectiveness, several complications can occur. One of the first symptoms is enlargement of the lymph nodes lasting more than three months. Swollen glands may be in one or all of the following locations: armpits, groin or neck. Other symptoms appearing months or years after HIV infection include:

Rapid weight loss.
Dry cough.
Recurring fever or profuse night sweats.
Profound and unexplained fatigue.
Diarrhea that lasts for more than a week.
White spots or unusual blemishes on the tongue, in the mouth or in the throat.
Pneumonia.
Red, brown, pink, or purplish blotches on or under the skin or inside the mouth, nose or eyelids.
Memory loss, depression and other neurological disorders.
Some people develop frequent and severe herpes infections or a painful nerve disease called shingles.

AIDS

AIDS might not appear for as long as 10 years after infection, during which time the HIV virus continues to weaken the immune system. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines AIDS as a person with HIV infection whose CD4 positive T-lymphocyte count is 200 cells per cubic mm or less. Healthy adults usually have counts of 1,000 or more. The clinical definition of AIDS is more complex, because it is based on any of 26 "opportunistic infections," such as pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, aggressive forms of cancer or dementia. One patient with pneumonia may be coughing and have shortness of breath, while another who has an opportunistic infection of the brain may have symptoms of confusion or partial paralysis.

The symptoms of AIDS therefore vary depending on an individual's opportunistic infections and the organ system involved:

Coughing.
Shortness of breath.
Seizures.
Dementia.
Severe and persistent diarrhea.
Fever.
Vision loss.
Severe headaches.
Wasting.
Extreme fatigue.
Nausea.
Vomiting.
Lack of coordination.
Coma.
Abdominal cramps.
Difficult or painful swallowing.
why aids when there are plenty more stds.....

Answer 3

Was it one time? or How long you have been associated with him and had sex?
Was it always vaginal sex alone? See vaginal sex, if it was not dry sex has less chance of getting HIV infection. ie 1\1000 encounters. But if there was anal sex the chance is 1\ 100. Dry vaginal sex also has higher risk. Depending up on your sexual behaviour you can evaluate the chance. But don't be panic see a counsellor. It is not a killer disease any more. There is quality life after HIV too.

HIV during its window period will not show any symptoms. The window period will vary according to persons health practices.
