Small veins

Hello everyone!

I've been feeling very weak lately and had muscle aches and pain. I have pain in my chest bone and on my lower legs, near the ankle, appeared some small blood vesels(capillar) and also on my nose a few.
Are all these symptoms of hiv?

Thank you!

Thanks Teak!

I was really worried cause I read something on the internet.
I would like to ask one more thing. Is it possible to develop any hiv(aids)simptoms (not ARS) in less than one year? Are there hiv patients that progress to ilnesses that quickly?

Thank you!

The condom slipped off and I saw that pretty quickly as I was checking it. Please tell me about my symptoms. You sound really strange. Are those symptoms commonto hiv?

No, but if you had unprotected vaginal sex again then you need to go back through just what you did starting last January.

I know I should test and I intend to do that, only this time I am more affraid. If I test now I would have a conclusive result. Since I saw those veins on my legs and remembered reading something here about being a symptom, I came and asked.
Here is a link where you can see how the veins look like :http://dermatologie-ag.ro/Vascular.html

Your veins or symptoms won't tell you a thing about your status.

Ok Teak
Thank you!
I will test for my piece of mind. Usually I am not thinking about this, but since time to time my mind goes crazy, I think the best thing to do is to test.
Just to be clear, you said that this veins thing doesn't look like symptoms of hiv, right?

Thanks again!
