Cold or hiv

Hey man did you see the symptoms to my cold? How do i know that it was a cold and not hiv sickness Teak?

sensitive skin
fever
headache
nightsweats-red flag
red runny eyes
white tongue
cough-phlem/mucus
fatigue
diarhea
weight loss 4-5lbs

I know i tested negative but this is worry some because the only thing left is sweating at night man and thats a red flag man. I've read about people who experience this and then test positive right after, is this what i should expect when i go in for my test ? Worried again really bad chances symptoms wise i've had the most and they have not let up...

chapeau's name should be "hopeless4now".   dont waste your breath...we have been telling him all of this plus more, for months on end now.  his six month test comes up the first week of february...and that is what he has been waiting for...or so he says.  i dont believe that he will be able to accept that test either and will find some new reason to test at 12 months...18 months...and so on.

he is...without a doubt...a sad case.

I had a temperature of 101 a few hours ago with a terrible headache, body/joint/skin aches, soar throat and a lot of sweating...I feel terrible right now, honestly. I have also been sick 3 times in the past 3 months after my own exposure, however it does not mean there is an association with HIV. I have put my trust in my 3 month test and realize it is just the flu or something...so many people down here are getting sick that I know...it's just the season for it. There is no way your symptoms are related to HIV, but it is certain that you are suffering from terrible anxiety and unfortunately, it's just that time of the year to get sick. You have tested out with conclusive results and I do understand the fears (been there myself), but you have to look at the facts: the probability of acquiring HIV through needle stick around 1/300 = 0.33% chance (if that even happened) + probability needle was contaminated + 3 month CONCLUSIVE result + symptoms that have lasted too long + cold/flu season = NO HIV. All the testing and facts prove you are negative. Sorry for ranting so much, but I can relate with the anxiety (makes even the most irrational fear seem so real), however you have to let it go. Life is full of risks and possibilities, so why not move forward and leave behind the things that hold you back...you are ok, you just have to put all of this in perspective and you will see there is absolutely nothing to worry about...I hope this helps at least a little.

you see there point# 3.

Its on your mind 24-7. so get rid of HIV-chapeau  (HIV - hat)
stop browsing the you tube videos.

take a loot at the other  post i just submitted.

  I am not a theropist but, can you try this

do some physical exercise running or playing (excessively), until the point you sweat out totally then take a shower, grab a beer & burger and sleep..
you will be fresh tomorrow... trust me

what's your problem man
1) you dont trust your blood reports
2) your dont trust the experts (docs on this forum say 6-8 week is plenty)
3) you dont trust Teak
4) you dont trust your friends

unfortunately there ain't no pills to put the trust.

damn, man you are worried over
