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.
When you talk about unexplained weight loss as a symtom with Hiv, does it mean that you get sick and can't eat or do you just lose the weight no matter how much you eat, also is the weight loss one of the early signs or later. If you do have symtoms at 2 or 3 weeks will it show up in a test?
I still wait for conclusive result so far I am negative till 8 weeks mark. But yes I was eating normally and still lost 10% of my body mass I have no idea how could that happened I think it stared before I got really anxious
You need to test 3 months post exposure. Ignore the above poster they don't know what they are talking about if they have to ask why we ask what was your risk. You were protected until the condom failed. Which lessens the risk of contracting HIV.
I read post of many positive folks on credible forums who also had so called "no risk" situation and somehow got infected
anyways i had same issue with weight loss - have no idea when it happened but was very rapid and significant
I had protected sex for your info without condom failure
