HIV?

[jerry1234567]

Hi 6 weeks ago I had protected oral and vaginal sex with a sex worker the condom seemed to be intact afterwards and all went fine. I was stupidly drunk and I have regretted it everyday since. Since the event I have had little to no symptoms of anything apart from frequent diarrhoea for the past 3-4 days. I was on a course of flucloxacillin 4 times a day for maybe a week last week or two weeks ago. I have no other symptoms just an upset stomach and gas predominantly. I'm hoping some people can give me any indication if it is HIV as I am freaking out so so so bad please help me.

Teak I'm real sorry but please just one last reply. I've been having slight stomach aches nothing too strong a little bit of back pain and now I have the tiniest of ulcers on the tip of my tongue this is 7 weeks plus of the event. The 'upset stomach' has now stopped and my nausea feeling, dizziness and brain fog has gone as I feel that was down to anxiety. Just say if the worse did happen at the event and I was exposed say the condom broke without me knowing which I doubt it did because she give me a hand job afterwards but are any of these symptoms consistent ? Please man just one last reply I need this

I really do apologise for the other thread and if it seems I am wasting your time and I know repeat questions are frowned upon. Just out of curiosity. Would diarrhoea and nausea/light headedness alone with no other symptoms give cause for concern for HIV.

Start reading the replies that were given to you.

But just one last quick one. Say if there was ever a slight chance of exposure would diarrhoea alone be enough of a symptom ?

[jerry1234567]

True thank you very much sir your help is very much appreciated I will get on with my life and stop speculating

[Teak]

You never had an exposure so what does that tell you?

[jerry1234567]

Okay so the diarrhoea Is due to a completely different matter than HIV? I'm just paranoid due to the 6 weeks prior to the event and the 'upset stomach' occurance as I have read it is a symptom

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

Thank you for a speedy reply its is much appreciated and having read your account I know I can take your advise with great confidence but I'm worried about the diarrhoea 6 weeks prior to the incident? I have felt the faintest bit of nausea but nothing noticeable when im alone it seems that symptoms just arise as when im out with friends I do not really notice anything apart from the 'upset stomach' i had a nasty cut on my knee the night of the event also I cant say for certain if the knee came into contact with anything or not I just need my mind resting I do apologise for the questions. Your help will pay dividends to me I can't tell you how much I will appreciate this

You never had an exposure.
