Thank you Vance2335, I hope that you are right. I'll just try to wait until I get tested again!!!Thank you
Weight loss means nothing when it comes to HIV.
Please help me. I know it's tiring to answer again and again to such questions and especially when there is many advertising which is passing on TVs about to protect ourselves!!!But PLEASE, I'm begging you...help me. What do you think about all the weight loss in only in one week post exposure I've lost 5Kg and now I've lost 2more Kg!!!All these symptoms, what do you think?
Thank you for your comment Vance2335. I can't deny the fact that I'm stressed and anxious but I can feel that they are not only the only things which are bringing these symptoms!!!I tried to forget about that until the day I'll get tested but it's not easy especially when I can feel the muscle pain on my neck and I checked up my weight today, I've lost again 3kg(meaning 8kg since 23days) is it also a consequence of anxiety and stress?I'm loosing hope now
Sounds like anxiety from the situation.
Thank you HowardH and bmthbloke for your quick answers. There is something I also want to know, only on the first week post exposure...I lost 5Kg, today 24days post exposure I've lost in general 8Kg and I know that loss weight is one of the biggest symptoms of HIV ARS, the muscles on my neck and those on the back of my thighs are painful since yesterday especially when I want to sleep for those on the neck. So honestly, when you put all of this symptoms together...what do you think, like for real?My stomach is always making a weird noise since 5days and I think my body should have been already used to the PEP but the diarrhea is back since 4days now!!!So honestly, what do u think after all these symptoms?Is it the PEP which is slowing the real rash on the skin and in my mouth?
What Howard said really. Granted rough sex can make a different if it cause a small cut or tear which im sure it didn't!
I think you are fine. The chances of getting it (IF she is HIV+) is about 1 in 2000 odd (about 0.03 to 0.09%).
Anxiety is a cruel thing but relax :)
This is a community forum and you're under the care of a doctor -- and I'm guessing your he or she has a lot of experience with new HIV infections, prevention, and PEP. You'll get better answers from him or her. But all things considered, I doubt you caught HIV.
1) These are not typical ARS symptoms. Part of the problem is that your anxieity is making you notice every little thing that comes up and make it seem more severe.
2) An anal wound is not a sign of HIV.
3) No comment on a rash that you "think is coming" but hasn't even showed up!
4) Antibiotics don't treat ARS sore throat or any other virus.
5) Five days is much too late. If you caught HIV, I wouldn't think it would work. But your doctor surely knows more about it than I do.
6) Of course you should never be "brutal" with a partner during sex. But it probably makes no difference in catching HIV. Having exposure for only 2 minutes might lower the risk of HIV, but only a little bit.
All in all, I doubt you caught HIV. Good luck.
