Hm Esophical Ulcers... sounds familiar
Actually, this kind of scares me, because a couple weeks ago when I thought I had caught the virus, because I wasn't educated enough, I started checking my body and my mouth imminently for any sign whatsoever that could compare to what I pulled up on the internet... And when I peered into my mouth with a flashlight, and looked on the back of my throat (not the tongue) I noticed a couple of these "ulcers." I felt them with my finger, and they were semi-hard. I do take pills but there is one of these ulcers right next to the bell looking piece in your mouth so I don't know how that would get there; and they haven't healed since I noticed them a couple weeks ago. I figured they were just something random but they have not gone away. I do occasionally have mouth cold sores (herpes) but never have had them in my mouth ever, and certainly not on my throat. I only take one or two pills a day, and they are not very large. Any ideas? I tested negative on a mouth swab oraquick?orasure? test, at three weeks after "possible exposure." I am kind of getting worried again, not really, but I hope I am right in thinking it's something other than " acute hiv ulcers." Yikes. Should I go get tested again at 3 months with another oraquick test?
Yeah, I will get tested I think tomorrow and it will be 26 days, exactly one day after the "average" amount of days the body will produce enough antibodies. I think that until I get tested at 3 months, that I probably won't completely overcome these thoughts, and the tedious peering into my mouth. My gums feel sensitive and the red side is raw now, I seem to be having a bit of oral problems lately. I am trying to think if I have had this many oral problems, most of them were probably just biting my cheek and little skin coming off, but it's better safe than sorry. Plus my gf comes home from studying abroad in 2 months and I want to make sure that I am 100 percent correct about not having this disease. It is scary to do all this, and surely is not worth risking my life and sanity over having one good time. Which it wasn't and I feel awful even though I broke up with her the day it happened. Still bad in my mind. So, I'm doing this for me, and for her.
It is totally up to you...but unless you've had a risk in addition to this one, you don't even need any testing. You're totally in the clear.
Yeah. It's just hard to let go! I mean, I don't know. I might go and get tested again tomorrow, since I only tested at three weeks. I mean everyone says I have no risk, but I keep seeing things in my mouth that concern me. I now have a weird irritated purple region that is concerning me, I'm just going to either go get tested again this week or go to a doctor. We'll see. I'm not sure but I think everyone thinks I should see a doctor instead of get tested? Fingered girl, licked clit, and... recieved ** for 30 sec... and... rubbed penis on vagina for a matter of seconds.. This okay teak you recommend another testing for hiv either now or in three months or maybe just go see a doctor ? Thanks! First day of work feel good about myself less stressed!
Meh, If that were the case more than half the people here would need it too. I'm fine I'm not stressing like I was a few weeks ago!
Well I might add that I rubbed my penis on her vagina and her vagina was wet..Also I have lost about 5-7lbs but I have been going to the gym alot. Can you get it from rubbing your penis on her vagina when it is wet? It was never inside of it though.
True. Ok. I don't know why it is so hard to overcome this feeling I have. It went away after I came back on here and was like " Yes I tested negative life is good!" Then about a week later I peered into my mouth again and those ulcers are still there on the pharynx and one small one next to my bell in mouth. It ***** that I am fine for a few days and then I trick myself into thinking I need to get tested again, I wish I could time warp three months from now and just get tested and warp back! Teak, if you don't mind sharing, how did you contract the virus? I am fairly new here and I read your profile a few days ago about how your immune system was healthy and fought it off for a number of years. If you don't want to share I understand just curious.
Ok, well this is for the HIV community not the addiction forum. I am asking in accordance to a "possible exposure." I'm not sure if you remember my other post about my hiv exposure, but I fingered a girl for at least half hour or more, and there was blood. No cuts on my fingers that I know of. I also performed oral sex for a little while. And then at 3 weeks I tested negative on an orasure test. I am just kind of worried about these ulcers on my pharynx/ next to the bell in my throat. I am debating whether to see a doctor about it since they have yet to go away 2 weeks later.
Move back over to the addiction forum. This is an HIV forum and you didn't have a risk of contracting HIV.
Does anyone know about these ulcers? I am kind of worried it might be acute hiv infection. I asked the girl to go get tested with me and she said no that she'll get tested when she wants, which is think is messed up. I hope it is just HSV or simply from swallowing pills. Although its been at least 2 weeks and they haven't healed.
