std's

[ems27]

are there any of the above that present cold and flu like symptoms in the first month ??

Not cold and flu specifically but some can make you feel generally unwell. If in doubt, get tested. People that are not monogomous should be tested regularly as a matter of routine and its nothing to be ashamed of. Even if condoms are used, hand-genital contact can transmit some stds especially hpv (genital warts).

Im Sorry to say but HIV does. Within first month of transmission common symptoms are cold and flu like symptoms, hopefully you are fine tho, and its just a coincidence. You're probably a bit run down, make sure you use protection in future.

Herpes also carries these symptoms, get yourself checked out!

I always understood the flu like symtoms to occur between 6 weeks to 3 months after initial infection with the hiv virus.

Don't try to figure it out on your own, you are only going to make yourself a wreck. I just got tested for everything several months ago, and I was reading all about STD's and before I knew I had every symptom of every disease in the universe. A month later I got my test results back......and I was totally healthy. My mind played terrible tricks on me, and caused a lot of unecessary anxiety.

there could be a million and one reasons until you see your gp

There are loads of colds and 'flu around at the moment, so its probably not an std, but i agree, you feel better if you get checked.
