You just had no risk for HIV.  Regarding other STD s.  Take it to the STD forum. Thank you

probably not hiv, but i need some kind of help whether it's mentally or there is another virus. regardless convincing yourself that you have hiv for 45 plus days will take alot out of you,

thanks lizzie. i'll stop posting on this forum from today. i don't know what to do i just turned 21, i'm studying abroad and alone in this country, i found out a school mate was shot to death 2 months ago, another had his feet amputated. i was having sex with this sex worker because i thought it would be an "experience" like an idiot, i don't think i deserve any disease thought; don't know. do you think i should even get tested in may Lizze? i've just been afraid and alone in this country ever since i came back from amsterdam for 7 weeks, i just want to get tested tomorrow i found a place but it's still not conclusive but like 95% accurate which idk if i'm alright with. thanks lizzie anyways, i think you are a really considerate person for answering people on this forum.

yes i know this but having sex with a prostitute was not 'no risk' i mean she has sex with anyone and could've had hiv, hepatitis, whatever. i know i wore protection, and at first that gave me confidence of not having hiv, but then every single joint in my body is hurting, i'm a little warm, i have migrating joint/muscle pain. this is something, how can anyone just dismiss it as "ah it's nothing" i've never had joint pain in my life but it's slowly going away, but i read that acute hiv shows up in 3-6 weeks, it's the 7th week which is when acute hiv should go away. i don't know who the hell would be afraid., why doesn't this forum even acknowledge this fact, that i have physical pain. it's not in my head. i just want your guys knowledge on acute hiv, have you ever heard of just joint/muscle migratory pain as a sign of acute hiv? that's all i want guys.

what you are failing to accept is that we are not a psychological counseling service nor a generalized diagnostic forum.  this forum is hiv specific and you DONT have a hiv concern.

you have been told REPEATEDLY that you never had a risk.

You guys are the only people I can talk to about my fears and worries before I get tested in May. Don't mean to get on your nerves would just like some ideas why i'm having this migratory joint pain, burning muscles when I never did before the sex act. That is all.
