Hi
I recently had a at risk sexual encounter with a Nigerian girl approx 11 weeks ago. I performed unprotected oral sex on her for approx 30 sec. I had a small healed cold sore at the time but the scab was missing in ther morning. Obviously I got tested with 4th Gen Elisa Duo at 7 weeks along with a full STD screen. Results were negative for STD and HIV.
I have had no symptoms of rash,fever,sore throat , abdo pain but at week 8 I have developed Myalgia on my arms , wrists but not my lower body . I am a very anxious person and have been worrying myself sick for approx 2 months and even with a -ve test at 7 weeks. I cannot sleep for more tha 4/5 hours recently and feel run down. If I am busy the muscle pain subsides but I feel if its getting out of control. I have been very tearful also which makes it worse.
So does Myalgia alone a symptom of acute HIV Infection ? Can stress bring this on ? How accurate is the 7 week test ? Does HIV 2 antibody production produce at the same rate as HIV 1 ? Any re assurance would be greatly appreciated.
