Am I having the symptoms of HIV?

by ineedpeace, Jul 04, 2009 04:45PM
Hi,


Please bear with my questions, I am really worried about this whole thing.

Im a 24 years old, straight male, never had sexual intercourse perhaps by choice. I did a stupid thing a few months ago. A guy who is my friend's friend is gay. I was over his apartment, and was drunk. I was feeling bi curious a few months ago eventhough I never had sex with a girl before. I was drunk and somehow got convinced by the gay friend and allowed him to perform oral sex on me. (unprotected) It was only for 2 to 3 minutes. While it was going on, I felt stupid for engaging in that activity that had no effect on me and excused myself from him and left his apartment.

I regretted about it later on and started to become paranoid about it. I once again asked him if he was clean etc, he swears he is. A month ago, I started to notice some most likely small bumpy patches of rashes only on my lower legs. Below the knee and above the ankle. Mostly in the calf muscles on both the legs. It was very itchy if I touch it, especially after I finish my work outs. I have been having stress lately due to my work but then it was fine.

I applied cream to it prescribed by the local doctor, and the rashes sort of disappeared, sort of.

I am a big guy, and was trying to tone my body and was being on a high protein, low carb diet and lost like 10 pounds with heavy work outs in a month and a half.

Long story short,

do I have some kind of symptoms regarding HIV?

because,

1. I have rashes appearing(only on my lower legs), on and off...2nd time was just one day and it was gone in a couple of days.

2. For the past 2 days, I feel very tired while working out, kind of feverish, even though normally I would be able to jog for 45 minutes without break.

3. I lost like 12 pounds in a month and a half and still didnt gain one pound over the last week cuz I had heavy rich meals everyday. (So weight loss)

4. My nose still have blood spots everyday whenever I clean it, even after the climate is completely summer and stable now.

I am worried too much about this and don't want to do a HIV test, as Im already stressed out a lot of things at the moment. Please help, I'd appreciate it.

I did one stupid thing that night and I am feeling very very paranoid about it.

Thanks.

You were never at risk of contracting HIV and your symptoms have nothing to do with HIV.

I went through the search for other posts, and figured out that I can't get it through receiving oral sex.

But my symptoms are confusing me about this. I will be relaxed if you reply me. Please?
