PLEASE HELP ME!
I'm so worried about two major symtoms that i have. i'm keen to know if i've HIV. I just don't have the courage to do an HIV test. The thought of being positive will kill me.
The last time i had sex was 2 years ago but with condom. Before then, almost 5 years ago, again with condom. Prior to that time, i've had sex couple of times, always with condom maybe one or two occassions condom bursted.
My first symtom is lost of weight. I'm a slim person anyway. Compared to 5 years ago, i've added some weights but in the last 2 years, i've lost weight. Although it's not as much as 10%, an indicative figure for 'AIDS wasting' but it bothers me badly. I eat so well, although am stressed out and paranoid.
Second symtom is taste buds and white patches on my tongue. The patches are not hairy (maybe slightly) and scaled off after mouth wash but next day i've got to repeat watching to keep it off. It's not painful at all. It's like burns at the back end of my tongue, to the rights & to the left.
I've had cold sores before on my lips. It comes and goes. At the moment, i don't have it.
Do i have HIV? Please help me. I practically live in fear everyday.
