Hey,
I had protected sex with a lesbian girl(I am a guy) and she was ending her period so there was some blood involved. I was drunk so i didnt realize it but im freaking out right now because I didnt know the girl to well. This was about two months and a week ago. Im in college, so from about a week before the encounter until about a month after the encouter I was drinking heavily 3-4 days a week going out with the guys. I got tested around 2 weeks after the whole ordeal because i had no idea about the window thing and the test came back negative. I had feliculitis shortly after the encounter and was given medicine for it to take for 10 days, which during and shortly after that time I had muscle aches and some diarreha(The muscle aches went on and off and lasted until about 3 weeks ago, diahrreha went away as soon as a realized they were a side effect- from nerves). The medicine(cephalaxin) said that this could be a side effect. Time passed and I had some muscles aches, dizziness, tiredness and depression until about 2 weeks ago I broke out in a rash and had headaches and a soar throat(Around 2 months after exposure). I went to the doctor and I had strep throat and an infectious spider bite. Im now done with that medication(Amoxicillin and bactrim) and I still have a soar throat occasionally. I have read that symptoms of HIV last for like a week and then go, also they occur shortly after infection?? If im sick this far after exposure, its safe to say that they are not HIV related?? I have a follow up test in 3 weeks, approximatly 3 months after exposure, but im going out of my mind and ive lost interest in going out and doing the things that i usually love to do. Im thinking about how worthless my future is gonna be with only 20 years left and what not.
The only reason i have a reason to think that im really gonna test negative is that I asked a close friend of the girl and the friend said "Hell no, she doesnt have anything". I dont have any reason to not believe the girl, but the thought still lingers in the back of my mind. Mind you, I havent had: Swollen lymph nodes, diahrreha, vomiting, and a few other symptoms. I have had: some diarreha, lots of muscle aches, some tiredness, some dizziness, a soar throat, some pain underneath my arm pits that lasted for a couple days.
I know what i did was a mistake, but im ready to move on, and if im infected id rather know so that i dont mind **** myself everyday until i get tested in 3 weeks. Any reassurance would be great.
Thanks.
