Have a doubt
I have unprotected anal sex with a man on 10th September, 2024. After that in july 2025 I have suffered from severe respiratory tract infection which lasted for 2weeks even after taking Doxcef CV 200 and montek Ic. I have done cbc on that which shows everything normal TLC= 5100, Neutrophils =52%, Lymphocytes =42%, Monocytes =2% but actual monocyte count = 150. Again in October 2026 i have fever with cough, for which I have took brochodilator. Now in April 2026 | have again cough and nasal discharge. I am also feeling very fatigue  from last week of March .Are these any symptoms of STD accqired from that intercourse??

Namastey The respiratory infections, cough, nasal discharge, and fatigue you are describing are not specific signs of an STD or HIV infection. Common viral respiratory infections, allergies, environmental exposure, stress, poor sleep, smoking exposure, low immunity, or recurrent seasonal infections can also cause similar symptoms repeatedly over time. A normal CBC pattern like the one you mentioned does not specifically point toward HIV or another STD. However, since you had a history of Human immunodeficiency virus infection exposure through unprotected anal intercourse, it is understandable that you are anxious and repeatedly connecting later symptoms to that event. It is important to understand that symptoms alone cannot reliably confirm or rule out an STD. Many respiratory illnesses occurring months later are unrelated to sexual exposure. Fatigue can also occur from stress, anxiety, disturbed sleep, overthinking, work pressure, or recurrent infections themselves.
Next Steps
Do not panic or continuously monitor every cough, fever, or body symptom as proof of an STD, because anxiety can amplify fear and physical stress significantly. Maintain proper sleep, hydration, nutrition, and avoid smoking or excessive stress, as these affect immunity and recovery. Since this concern has been mentally troubling you for a long time and is repeatedly causing fear regarding possible STD acquisition, it would be beneficial to discuss your complete history in a calm and structured manner with a professional instead of relying only on internet symptom matching. For confidential and professional guidance, you are encouraged to connect with us at 9 3 1 5 6 6 1 5 6 5, where we provide supportive and non-judgmental care for sexual health concerns.
Health Tips
Focus on improving immunity naturally through adequate sleep, balanced diet, hydration, and stress management. Avoid repeatedly searching symptoms online, as this often increases health anxiety unnecessarily. Practice safe sexual habits consistently in the future to reduce both infection risk and mental stress. Most respiratory infections are common and unrelated to STDs, especially when they occur intermittently over long periods. Thank you
