Hello doctors, so ive been dating a young woman 23 year old i am 29 were from the us. We been going on for close to 4 months up until last week she let me have sex with her, protected. I am very careful about having unprotected sex and have always been reluctant.however yesterday in the heat of the moment she told me to take it off and amazingly i did. We had un protexted sex twice the first time for about 20 min the second for about 5 i finished twice inside her. Asked if she used condoms and she said the last two persons was her year long ex boyfriend and then one month before meeting me she had sex with her first boyfriend like 2-3 times unprotected. She was somewhat offended when i asked if she was sick with anything and she said she didnt go sleeping around with random people she said she has never tested and has no reason to think she is sick i have asked around before and have gotten nothing but good comments of her from other people and guys however a month ago she was sick liek feverish and sore throat and that worries me...ehat are my odds of having contracted hiv. Regardless if she only had unprotected sex with her ex boyfriends i dont trust other men because well i am one and not everyone is as safe as i am

This sounds like a zero risk exposure in regard to HIV. But feel free to be tested if you remain nervous about it.
From one of your recent threads, among many: "You shouldn't expect to come to this forum for advice every time you have an exposure that makes you nervous. This is your fourth question and your third in a month. The forum does not permit repeated questions on the same topic or exposure. This will have to be your last one; future similar questions will be deleted without reply and without refund of the posting fee. This policy is based on compassion, not criticism, and is designed to reduce temptations to keep paying for questions with obvious answers. In addition, experience shows that continued answers tend to prolong users' anxieties rather than reducing them. Finally, such questions have little educational value for other users, one of the forum's main purposes. Thank you for your understanding."

And two questions ago I wrote "You shouldn't expect to come to this forum for advice every time you have an exposure that makes you nervous." That each question is framed around a different health problem doesn't matter.
Of course I cannot say the exposure above was zero risk. It was low risk based on your understanding of your partner's sexual lifestyle. But it's never zero risk whenever there is unprotected sex, as you had. If you are concerned about it get tested. But that's exactly the sort of question I am referring to with my advice above. The answers are obvious and well known by anybody, including yourself.
---As advised last time, and re-quoted in my reply above, this is definitley your last question along such lines. Future ones will be deleted without reply.

The only reason i commented zero risk is because your first reponse stated "it was a zero risk exposure in regard to hiv"

Indeed it was, or close enough to zero that you dpn't need an HIV test. The chance a partner like this has HIV is near zero, and even if she did, the average transmission risk for a single episode of unprotected vaginal sex averages one in 2,500.---
