Sounds like you need to pay a visit to the health department, eric. They'll check you out for free! So, before you start to worry, let's see if there really is anything to worry about, OK? Those symptoms could just as well come from worry as from an HIV problem. Promise me you will let us know how things go at the health department. I'll be waiting for your report.

There is always a CHANCE of anything, but decisions should not be based on the chances of being wrong, but rather on the consequences of being wrong. And, the only way to know the consequences of your activity is to test for them -that's why you go to the health department.

And, yes, the symptoms of HIV frequently mimic the flu, or a really bad cold, because that's what HIV IS, basically -a really bad flu that your body can't defend against and may well kill you if untreated and given enough time. That's why we want those tests! I know it is difficult to not worry. That's why getting results SOON is good.

One more thing: this forum is for people with panic and anxiety and related disorders. This is not a medical expert (doctor) forum. If you want a professional opinion, go to the home page, click forums, then click "Ask and Expert" and select the category you want.

Good luck to you!
