I had protected sex 2 weeks ago and now I am having a cold, is it possible that I might have HIV
General Physician
Answered on 19th June '23
Having a cold two weeks after protected sex does not necessarily indicate HIV infection. HIV is primarily transmitted through unprotected sex, sharing needles, or from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding. The symptoms you're experiencing could be caused by various factors, so it's best to consult your doctor.
