Question about herpes!!
by Platinum01, May 18, 2007 12:00AM
Before I got with my new girlfriend I knew that she had herpes. After a couple of months of being with her I ended up sleeping with a russian girl and she was persistant on having sex without a condom. I ended up giving in because she was so hot!! Anyway, a couple of months later I had all of the symptoms of hiv. I tested at 2,4 and 6 months for hiv and everything came back negative. If had mouth ulsers, I feel drained all the time, my stomach cramps and makes noises all the time, my lymph nodes under my armpits feel swollen on and off. I also feel tingling and prickling on my arms, back and other places sometimes. My question is can herpes cause you to have these types of symptoms in some people or are most of these symptoms because I was stressed out for about 6 months thinking I had hiv along with herpes? If anyone reading this has herpes, what symptoms have you had besides the regular bumps on your area?

First off hot girl < life. In other words, dont gamble like that with your future health. I am sure you know this as the guilt/worrying you are experiencing is likely a result of your current state of mind.
With that said, the initial Herpes outbreak could cause some of the symptoms you described but the fact that you have some of these symptoms "on and off" would further indicate that you are most likely just stressed.
I have been where you are doing the same online searches trying to figure out the odds that I have HIV and how all of my symptoms must indicate HIV or another STD.
You are probably more likely to get struck by lightening than to have gotten both HIV and Herpes from one sexual encounter.
It has been six months right? Go get a Herpes Type Specific for both I and II.
There is a 0% chance you have HIV btw.
Herpes can cause severe pain, itching, back pain etcetera.
I hope that helps,
