I had sexual relation with a Guy on Jan 2016, Then from April 2016 I have been in relation with another guy. From month of November 2016 till date I have been suffering from cough cold. I consulted with doc and he gave me medications for infections. Now I am little better but not cured. I am fearing of HIV. I would like to tell you that the second guy with whom I am still in relation is HIV negative. Is there any chance of getting infection from the first guy with whom I had relation on Jan 2016? I have no other symptoms only cough cold. I had this tendency of getting cough and cold along with breathing troubles since childhood but this time it has been lasting since long. Please suggest. I am quite tensed and afraid.

Based on cough and cold alone HIV is not diagnosed, though recurrent infections are common in HIV. But since you say from childhood you have reccurent common cold, we cannot come to any conclusion, based on this. Best would be to get a ELISA test done for HIV to rule out the disorder categorically since the exposure has been Jan 2016. All the best.

If 1st guy was HIV positive then you have pretty much chances of HIV infection.
