If you believe you have been exposed to HIV and want help to judge your risk, would like advice about HIV testing, or have questions about the effectiveness of condoms or risks associated with specific sexual practices, this is the site for you.
- Immediately the next day I start worrying that I have a yeast infection or HIV. During the course of the next few weeks I become very very constipated, like never before. I think I could even feel the stool blocked up on my sides? I would sit on the toilet for literally 30 minutes and nothing came out. It wasn't until I finally mentioned this to my mom and she suggested trying laxatives and that worked. Everything slowly started to function and I'm no longer constipated as of Sepmteber now.
- While constipated, my stool was very very skinny, which is no surprise I've read. It was also very vibrant, like saturation is put up in color on photoshop.
- After this, I have diarrhea. This is when my constipation is done. I then went on a roadtrip and developed the flu, high fever, chills, fatigue, dizziness whenever I stood up, and strained/red eyes. It got pretty bad the whole flu that I couldn't really get out of bed in the mornings sometimes, so we didn't hit back on the road one day because I just needed rest. I was so cold too. This lasted for about 6 days, these symptoms for the most part. I also had piercing headaches, and most of all the headache-like feeling behind my eyes. If I moved them left, right, up, or down it hurt.
- After this I was getting fine for the most part and started to forget about all this until my sister got really sick this month (October) and then got my sick like never before again. My mom, dad, and brother also got sick. We assume it could have been swine, but who knows, we can't diagnose ourself ever. Since this time though I have been fearful once again that I may have HIV because my symptoms are once again back. During the flu I had 103 fever, chills, dizziness, weakness, fatigue, red eyes, pale skin (I am Caucasian), and of course diarrhea again.
- Well now it's been a week or two since I've had the flu and I still have mushy stool where the toilet water gets all brown. Sorry I don't want to try and be graphic, but I want to cover all basis. Also, in the last few days there's been like a white mucus attached to the stool, but that seems to be gone as of two days now. The stool is currently mushy/light colored with pieces in and around that look to be undigested to me.
- My eyes are really red in the morning and night and remain with a cloud of red during the day. I've never had this before. Why could this be?
--- I hope you can semi-conclude what the problem might be here, or come up with a list of things you might suspect, that I could look into.
