"Early Symptoms Of HIV Infection
Some people, but not all, develop symptoms within a month or two of exposure to HIV. These people may have a flu-like illness with such symptoms as:
* Fever
* Rash
* Headache
* Loss of appetite
* Swollen glands (enlarged lymph nodes Small, round or oval bodies connected by a network of vessels; they help remove bacteria and foreign particles from the circulation, and play a role in the body's immune defenses)
* Achy muscles and joints
These early symptoms usually disappear within a week to a month. Most HIV-infected people who experience these early symptoms won't see any more signs of the infection for at least a few years."

Did this happen in the UK or abroad?
Basically you have slept with a woman who is a prostitute even though her services were free in this case. Even if she was infected with HIV your chances of getting HIV through vaginal sex are remote as you would need to have some means of the virus to enter your blood stream, thereofre would need cuts on your *****.
Lets assume you slept with a woman and then 2 or 3 weeks later she came upto you accussinig you of being HIV positive becase she now had flu like symptons I suspect you would be offended and pretty defensive! So its no suprise that she is!
The chances of you having caught anything are limited so try and forget about it, and get on with your life, until you can be tested. No point worrying about it at all.
By the way the advice of giving blood to be tested for STIs isn;t good. You shouldn't give if their is any risk that you might be infected!

Why not try some reverse psychology.
Tell her that you have had a test done and there is some bad news, see what reaction you get from her,if it is one of horror then you know she was playing with your mind.

Mate of mine was a long distance lorry driver throughout europe. Away from his wife for extended periods.
Sadly he decided to relieve the stresses of being away by pushing a melon into his warm exhaust pipe at the end of the day and having "Carnal Knowledge" of the said fruit.
Got home with a nasty itch
Went to see the Doctor who confirmed his worst fears.
He was
HGV Positive

I hope you get the right answers, and this is a perfectly reasonable place to ask such questions, there are people who will always help if they can.
Just seen your result-good news
