Hi,
i posted before about my risky encounter, UNPROTECTED sex with a woman that i know but she is not an angel and she ensured me that she is clean but she doesnt know what her EX was doing in her absence.
anyways:
today i tested negative Elisa (after 7 weeks and 5 days)
i am still concerned even with my 3rd negative test about the things that happened to me after the risky encounter.
Teak and Lizzy LOO please dont be mad if i list them again. i really need to put this behind me.
day 6 = mild sore throat that lasted for 1 day and half (didnt affect my eating or drinking or smoking)
Stuffy nose.
Severe cough in day 9 that lasted for 5 days (night time specially) in the day was a normal cough
Severe headache in day 9 and 10 that lasted for 2 days non stop, severe at nights and woke me up, mild and normal headache in the day.
i know that the Elisa test result is much more stronger than the symptoms no matter how many and no matter how severe they are.
i had no other ARS symptoms at all like swellling glands, rash, vomiting, tiredness, diahrea, muscle pain, fever etc...
from the begining before i even tested, my doctor said that the ARS symptoms if they come to infected person, they dont come 1 or 2 and thats it, EX my headache and cough. specially the headache should be accompanied by fever, joints pain muscle pain or at least 2 or 3 other things.
is that true ?
how realistic is my test result ?
SPECIALLY that the girl is not a CSW or needles sharer and so on. i mean she is in the population of low percentage in HIV.
i am just curious about the symptoms that i dont know if ARS symptoms come this way.
LIZZY LOO love you hon .... please dun be mad :*
thank you all

i did Teak, but never no one replied about the symptoms. i asked many times about them if they sound like ARS. i got no reply.
i am takin g huge risk when i am testing cause i am a foreigner living in a very strict country regarding HIV, stupid i know but thats life.
i will be thrown outta the country in the same day IF i get a + result.

thanks anyways and sorry again.
whatever
Regards
Tony

by the way, i am famous in my cough and 2 weeks before the risk i had a much bigger flu like illness with strong sore throat and a bit of fever and severe severe dry cough.
the only thing different came this time is taht the HEADACHE that is totally unusual in me and its timing and in this way and sudden and that severe, made me put a question mark.
NB: i had those symptoms before anxiety, i mean i wasnt worried at all even i am HIV obsessed, and i stayed living unworried and not thinking about it, until i had the cough and headache,
Thank you
Gold bless
