HIV symptoms

by Pinky2cute02, Oct 28, 2008 08:51PM
Dear DR.
I have been really concerned about myself lately. I went to the doctor and had a bacterial infection for leaving a tampon in for a week; I forgot that it was still there. So I went to the doctor so that they could give me medication for the infection. They did a vaginal cultural on me so that they could check for an STD's. I called back for my results and they told me I tested positive for Chlamydia. Ever since then Ive been scared that I might have HIV. I slept with this guy without protection and I dont know if he may have contracted HIV or any other disease. Im mainly scared of the HIV. I had sex with him in may of 2008 (of this year). When I saw him in 2007 of last year around the same time he was a little bigger in weight. Then when I saw him this year in may of 2008 he was a little slimmer. In 2007 he told me that he had been trying to work out so he could lose weight. Im not sure thats an indication of HIV but Im sooo worried. I havent had any symptoms or illnesses, or flu like symptoms. Im just so scared because I dont know what his std status was. I have a little rash on my face, but Im trying to figure out if its linked to HIV. Doc Im soooo scared. Im not going to say that I have it but Im just a little clueless. I heard that symptoms usually occur 2 to 3 week after being infected, but I didnt have any type of symptoms or any illnesses. I did have a slight sore throat 2 weeks ago and a very little cold but I got over it 3 days later. Doc please can you help me and give some comfort and assurance so that I wont be shaking in my boots going to get tested; Im crying now just thinking that I may or may not be infected with the virus. Pleassssseee help me
