, I developed breathing problems in the spring that I have never experienced - it started out with a cough and then I had trouble breathing for about 2 months (bad coughs at night, and when that went away, wheezing when I worked out). These symptoms eventually went away after about 2 months. I went to the doctor and he told me it was probably allergies or mold problems in my apartment. Reassured, I did not get tested.
Then a couple months ago in March 2011, I had protected sex
and it took about 1.5 months to cure (the doctor diagnosed me with ringworm, but it might be psoriasis or pitariasis rosea). I also had rectal bleeding for two days at about the same time - bright red blood that was not attached to my stool. Right after my ringworm and rectal bleeding symptoms went away, I developed eczema all over my body (little patches of dry skin). I admit I have been under intense anxiety after the rectal bleeding episode, so that might have caused eczema.
Based on all these symptoms that suggest autoimmune problems, I am almost convinced that I have HIV or AIDS. I am planning to get tested ASAP since I cannot live with this stress and anxiety anymore (I've been under this stress for almost 2 months).
Do these symptoms highly suggest that I have HIV/AIDS?
first off...girl #1 more than likely doesnt have hiv...most ppl dont. it is also unlikely that a few "seconds" of unprotected will result in infection. with that being said...the only way to know one's status is by testing.
girl #2...you had safe sex and did not have a risk.
your "symptoms" are not indicative of hiv infection.
Thanks for your response, Lizzie. I thought HIV symptoms include coughing and autoimmune skin problems such as eczema and that you're more susceptible to ringworm infection?
