Symptoms after 4 months
Okay,
Having read many posts on this site and having many, many restless/sleepless nights I've finally decided to post.
So my questions are these and they probably are stupid ones. I had possible exposure four months ago. I tested negative for HIV at 3 months (83 days exactly). I had no symptoms before I tested negative. Over the last month the anxiety has really gotten to me and I am stressed out beyond belief. I've lost weight (no appetite because of OCD and constant searching), had headaches, developed a rash on my legs on my hips, I have always had geographic tongue but now I swear it's thrush, had fatigue......etc, etc. I was on Dicloxacillin antibiotic so that could have been a possible reason for the rash, and could possibly cause thrush. I was also taking prednisolone which probably didn't help with the headaches. I also grind my teeth and could explain the fatigue and headaches. Most things I read say that ARS symptoms develop within 2 to 4 weeks. Is it possible to develop the symptoms 4 months later? Should I test again? Is it all anxiety and stress related?

83 day negative HIV test means you dont have HIV, end of story, goodye.
Go see the doctor about any of your health problems because they arent HIV related. Most likely from anxiety and stress.
