HIV Symptoms ?

Hi,

I've been having really bad pain in my feet (pins and needles and pain), for about 6 weeks now ..... If this was due to Hiv (Had a low risk exposure 11 weeks ago), then how long would PN last for ?

Would its only last for the duration of the ARS stage, or is it more of a permanent thing ?
Its really stressing me out ......


Thanks

PEP has toxic side effects which can include DEATH and it's only around 80% effective. Why anyone would lie to get it when they didn't need it is beyond me.

I lied to our family doctor to get it .....  didn't want to tell him I got a blow job from a sex worker cos he's a good family friend !

I was just so paranoid cos the next day after the blow job I read on the net that you can get HIV from Oral Sex ? So I made up a story to get it .....

I biggest worry is that it was early hours of the morning and maybe she had given some-one else a blow job before me and she had infected semen in her mouth when she did it to me ?

Sorry to be a hassle Teak ..... I just want some answers ?

Thanks

Teak...all I want is an answer to my question ?

I know you believe there's no risk ...but I can't make my brain believe it because of all these symtoms I'm having  !!!

You'll probably say go get tested then ...... But its still too early (because I took PEP), so all I want is an aswer to my question ?

You've never had a risk for HIV so the symptoms have nothing to do with HIV.
