Hi,

Sorry to hear about the symptoms you’ve been having.

The symptoms that occur during HIV Seroconversion Illness are very common to many kinds of illnesses, including the flu. Without knowing your sexual health history I can’t say if your symptoms are likely to be related to HIV, but I can give you some general information.

Dry cough is not typically seen as part of Seroconversion. Headache and tiredness can sometimes been seen as early HIV symptoms, however those symptoms alone are not enough to say whether or not you have HIV.

HIV is passed through unprotected sexual contact.

If you’re concerned that you may be at risk for HIV we would recommend getting a blood test. HIV testing is easy and can be done with your family doctor, at any walk-in clinic, or at an STI clinic. See our Clinic Finder to find an STI clinic near you.

Please leave a commnet below if you need any additional information.
