Am I Safe?? - Please help
Exposure - Jan 2013 (Condom broke), then mostly safe sex
Tested negative 4 times over last 1.5 years. Last Test done in Mar 2014.
Now, July 2014, I have lost approx 8-9Kg weight (approx 10% of body weight).
Of the weight loss, first 4Kg was intentional. But have lost another 5Kg in last 2 month (June-July)
Been having recurring Sinus (though always had Sinus problem).
Have one constant enlarged node under my armpit.
Sometimes feel little pain under armpit, like lymph node pain
Are these signs??
After getting 4-5 negatives, i assured myself that I have negative and got married.
Now just two months into marriage, I have having this drastic weight loss.
I am too too scared to get tested as now its not just about me....
Pls. let me know if I am safe. What could lead to such weight loss? Can it be anxiety?
When would HIV related weight loss start? How early?

Testing is the only way you would be less worried and anxious. Just go for it, it is worth the peace of mind it will buy for you.
