Okay, Symtoms are real, not in head, if you can't get HIV through Hand Job than What can you get ?
guys, you have been noticing that I do not spend much time on board, but enjoy my life, but yet, I have symptoms left and right.
I still have fatigue, muscle weakness, eye pain, pressure in the head, hard time to breath, lymph pain over the body, ear aches, pain, and echo problem.
All i had was a hand job, then why am I suffering so much ? I do not think it is anxity,.
Remember I had ARS type 2 weeks after exposure.
If this is not HIV, than what can it be ?
Yes, call me sick and stupid, but my symptoms are real. I am seeing my doc on Friday, to get MRI and other stuff to do to rule out any other stuff.

Oh, I had constant feeling of itching around my ***, on the back, buttock.
These are sings of low immune system.
Weird lump feeling in the neck, Stiff Neck, stiff back.. All muscle problem.

All nonspecific signs of a thousand different things, most of which are benign and self limiting. And anxiety can trigger every one of them. Notice I did not say it was all in your head. Just that it could be anything, or nothing. If your HIV tests are negative, then you know its not HIV.
As far as i know he never tested for HIV cause he was to scared.
GOLOKA---- Everyone gets scared to take the HIV test but if you think that you were actually exposed then you have to do it. I got my blood drawn yesterday and i am getting a bunch of test. I am getting a routine physical bloodwork test as well as HIV and Hep B and C. I figuered i would just do all of them at once, I am scared out of my mind right now that something is gonna come back wrong but its something you have to do.

He never did test for HIV, but he can tell you what his liver looks like and how his kidneys are doing. All this diarrhea and stomach problems, I am very surprised you haven't wilted away yet.
Come-On dude get tested. I have tested for 4 wks and got negative. I shall go for 7 wks. But till you are clear of mind- i know the symptoms doesnt stop. Even now i am feeling Extreme fatigue from past 6 weeks. Still holding nerves- What is our fate - cannot be changed---So lets face our fate--ones for all---
I have been told that ARS symtoms last only for some time--Not that long..I am holding on that point even though i have extreme fatigue-Tiredness----My friend get tested
You are the first person who is going to die from HIV anxiety. You sound like a complete wreck. I am sure you are very pleasant to live and work around. Do you know that people who *really* do have terrible diseases and illnesses don't carry on like you do? I've been around those with terminal diseases who have a better mental outlook than you.
I can only imagine what you must be like to interact with on a regular basis. Are you this afraid of other, equally unlikely events or catastrophes befalling you? For instance, how is it possible that you leave the house every day? I hate to do this to you, but, then again, you sound like the type of person who would want to know about stuff like this, just to take precautionary measures, so, imagine this:
Somewhere, some 22,000 miles above this big blue marble we call Earth, is a satellite in geosynchronous orbit above wherever it is you happen to live. Said satellite has been up there for, oh, let's say a few years. It's been buffeted by cosmic winds and dinged up by little pebbles cast off of ancient meteorites passing in its vicinity. Did you know, my friend, that pieces fall off of such satellites all the time? And, if they are big enough, their orbit slowly but surely degrades to the point that said pieces re-enter the Earth's atmosphere and, uh oh, they don't break up.
Do me a favor, go outside now and look up at the sky. Put down the thermometer, set aside the 2000 page medical manual detailing the inner workings of the liver you are leafing through, and step outside and just look up. Because, I have something to tell you. Looking up yet? Good. Do you see it up there? That satellite we were talking about? Yep, that one right there, sort of looks like a star, but it isn't, is it? Nope. Want to know what it really is? You sure? Ok, I will tell you: it is the instrument of your doom!
That's right. All this time you have been worried about something that is really, really impossible to occur: getting HIV through a handjob. Stupid you. What you should really be focusing on is something that is only slightly less impossible: a solar panel becoming detached from the satellite, falling down to Earth and striking you on the head as you sit in your back yard fretting about HIV and feeling up your lymph nodes for the bazillionth time. Bingo, you're a pancake, flattened by a steaming hunk of metal that just, against all odds, fell to Earth and did you in.
My advice: forget about HIV. Start worrying about space debris. And, don't even get me started on the ant colony in your yard that has achieved advanced intelligence and is planning on carrying you away in the dead of night and eating you, one pincer full at a time. You think your liver hurts now, just wait until that happens. You'll look back on this and laugh.
Ok, good luck with all that, and think about wearing a helmet. Just in case.
I must say your timing is impeccable. Though you don't chime in very often, when you do it's always a good read.
I couldn't help but visualize with a slight gigggle this part of your post...
"Put down the thermometer, set aside the 2000 page medical manual detailing the inner workings of the liver you are leafing through, and step outside and just look up..."
We've all been there to some degree, but it helps when we put things in the proper.perspective.

Hey, I have tried everything, to realx and all, but i just can't the symptoms wont let me relax. I called my doc yesterday about itching around the thigh and butt area got so bad, he may think it may be Candidiasis, and that I am going to go see him tomorrow.
I read Candidiasis is caused by HIV.
See , what no one is seem to answer me is, why am I suffereing from so many symptoms ? That no one should from a small episode ?
This has taken a big toll on my life, I have mood swings, I can't seem to function or have fun anymore.
I am not much worried about HIV, but the symptoms I am.
I can't seem to live with these symptoms, they hurt and it takes a big emotional toll on me.
I am not the person, who keeps wanting precaution in life, I take risk, but pain I can't
I can take risk, but the pain that comes with it, I can't.
On this board , no one has ever had any problems as I do.Many of you say oh its in your freaking head, but really, you think ?
Why, do I twitch when I wake up, my body is fatigue after having 8 hours of sleep. Body itches, butt itches, thigh itches, comes and go.
Sharp pain in finger, and below foot.
Sharp pain in the back, ear pain, stiff neck.
Why now ? Why after my hand job ? why not before ?
Do you see where I am getting at now ???
Is it all in the head, no. Sure stress can cause some problem, but not low immune system symptoms.

Ok, I'll go along with the gag, Goloka. I now believe that you have HIV. Somehow, you are the only person in the world, since the emergence of the HIV virus, to have acquired it from a simple HJ. While every doctor and specialist in this area in the world will tell you that it is impossible, you know better. And, finally, I will say I agree with you.
All of your "symptoms" sound like the effects of a perturbed emotional state to me, but, what do I know? You know best: you have HIV. Even though you refuse to just go get a test, and instead prefer to spend all of your time endlessly reciting your various complaints and then accusing those who disagree with your self-diagnosis of ignorance or insensitivity, OK, I will agree with you.
So, given that you know that you have HIV, what are you doing about it? Have you spoken to your doctor about getting on meds, getting a viral load test, establishing drug resistance of your particular strain of HIV, etc.? If not, and since you so firmly believe that you were infected (in contravention of all known laws of physics, no less), why haven't you done this? I see you are going to the doctor because your *** itches (dry skin, maybe - of course not, HIV!), so you obviously have a doctor. Instead of hounding this forum for answers that no one can give you and that you will not listen to anyway, why aren't you on the phone with your doctor setting up a treatment plan for your (imaginary) HIV infection? Seriously, why not?
I doubt you even read the replies, but, just in case, in your next post, please address your treatment plan with all of us so that the next person who wanders in here with an (imaginary) HIV infection has some idea of what to do and expect.

He's beyond the help that anyone on this forum can help him with. If he won't go seek the help that he needs there and there is nothing that anyone can do here.
Who is trying to scare him? If he really, truly believes that he has HIV, OK. Do I think he has HIV? What rational person would?
The issue here is that Goloka thinks he does. So, my question to him is: what is he going to do about it? That is what I am curious about. If he's really convinced, even without the benefit of a test to confirm his fears, then shouldn't he be addressing the problem in a more productive manner than coming here? I think he should. My suggestion is this: he should sit down and have a serious conversation with his doctor about this. Lay out his fears, why he thinks he has it, and then ask what he should do. I think his doctor would be very interested in his situation, and may be able to help (more so than strangers on an Internet forum, don't you think?). That's what doctors are for, after all.
So, get to it, Goloka, and then come back and tell us what the doctor advised. After that, I'll be willing to listen to anything you have to say. You have an appointment for the doc to look at your skin problem, why not take advantage of the good timing and have that conversation during the same appointment?

You're going to die a young man GOLOKA, but its not going to have anything to do with HIV...
Guys, you are correct, why am I a little *****, well I am from a strict relgion, and If they find out, I am done
Think about it, I bleed easy, my mouth has so must sores, now, my butt itches, stiff neck, lymph pain in the collar bone, neck, and in the throat, groin, and armpit.
Runny nose alot, getting sick alot, abnormal blood report, liver pain, liver results high.
Burning Pain in the body, arms, and legs, back, back pain, back aches.
When you say , symptoms are never indicator, than WTF are they indicating, that I am healthy
What else can it be ?
Yes, I need to start my treatment, but should you rather not and die and let anyone find out ??

I think the biggest concern for me, is that I may of have had open wound, and she may of had cuts on her hand.
Go to a DOCTOR, noone here is a medical doctor and your symptoms mean nothing to most of us.

Ahhh, so, things start to make a bit more sense, now, to me at least. Would it be true to say that the root of your fear is that those who are also in your strict religion would look down upon someone who received a hand job in a massage parlor? Also, can you explain a bit more about your religion, and also how you yourself feel about having gotten a hand job in a massage parlor.
Personally, I don't think you're anything more or less than someone who finds themselves in a moral dilemma. You have crossed some internal or external moral boundary, and now feel the need to continuously punish yourself with thoughts of HIV. My guess is that, yes, your "symptoms" are indeed solely the product of your fevered guilt complex. Of course, that is just a guess.
Another question, are you afraid to discuss all of this with your doctor? If so, why?

That was funny man. Really laughed out loud on that one.
Goloka, you are one crazy mofo. If you are indeed religious, then I can see how this would affect you. Religion plays an interesting part in HIV paranoia. But, part of me thinks you are simply trolling with some expertise. So, good job. It's definitely good for a laugh.

At least you're not as crazy as the guy who thought he got HIV when his exposure was fingering a chick with a condom on (Yes, a condom on his finger)?
Please, if you are so convinced you already have HIV, go to the doctor and at least get it confirmed, even though you will be surprised with the result.

Seriously....are you not going to test? I sure yyou will be much more respected in your religion for being such a pansy. I am concerned for you because you are obviously freaking out. Simply get a test and put this to rest. (that rhymed). As far the shark tank Jaguar mentioned....if you continue to stress like this, it might not be a bad idea.
