Can you get fatigue, sore throats, body pain , headache in 4 days when you are infected with hiv?

Hi

Typically, people will develop a HIV seroconversion illness in two to four weeks after they come in contact with HIV.

The symptoms you have described can be caused by many different medical conditions. The only way to find out if HIV has been passed to you is by doing a HIV test. Let us know if you need help finding a clinic near you that offers HIV testing.
