Possibel HIV exposure

by WICKEDSCARED, Aug 05, 2009 12:40PM
I need some advice. I had received and given ORAL sex to a male massage person. Their was no ejaculation, but about a week after I started having headaches (fullness in my head) and tight/stiff muscles in my neck and shoulders. Almost feels like swollen lymph nodes.  I'm going into my 7th week with my neck being stiff most of the time. I ahve had about 4 days of Diaherra at different times in the last month. I had HIV test a ELISIE HIV test at 17 days that was negative and CBC at 4 weeks that showed everything was normal. It seems strange that my neck started to swell on and off a week after.

You never had a risk of contracting HIV.

I understand they say 1 10,000, but dosen't it sound strange that since my giving and receiving oral sex that I have had tightness in my shoulders neck, jaw since????

No because I can tell you that it is related to stress and anxiety.
Some people/CDC say 1 in 10,000, but based on studies done there is not a risk.

by Vance2335, Aug 07, 2009 01:33PM
meaningless, you can never use symptoms to diagnosis or even give an indication of HIV. And in your case not a risk.

I know teak said no risk, but I have had a off and on un well feeling since possible exposure in june. Can feel bumps under skin below ear lobe, tylenol helps to reduce.  After all other symptoms mentioned above developed sore throat at 7.5 week with white spot on one tonsil. Sore troat goes off and on please help

i did, but what else could make all these symptoms and my lymph nodes to swell behind my ear and only go down with tylenol for 9 weeks plus everything else.

by Teak, Aug 22, 2009 07:09PM
See your doctor. It's not an HIV concern.

by WICKEDSCARED, Aug 22, 2009 07:14PM
I guess the lymph nodes going up and down in my neck, off and on loose stools and now a sore throat. The doctor had no idea what the white spot was ans since I have not had a fever and tested for everything, he thinks their is nothing wrong. would hiv symptoms still be coming on after 9 weeks

Hi, I'm new to this, but I can identify with your situation, howevr try not to agitate too much, and in the process ruin the verysupport system you have by way of this dicussion board. As human beings we tend to punish ourselves too harsely, as such you have made yourself believe that you caught HIV, just because you had some kinda of exposure, and you are  refusing to believe your luck.

Pick yourself up and be grateful that you are HIV negative. you escaped the virus this time around, and maybe you want to be stricter next time.

congratulations!

this forum does NOT need a blow by blow of your testing times or lymph node swelling.  you have been assessed as not having a risk...therefore nothing you have to add is a concern to the forum.
