What can I do next?

[anonymous359]

Everyone keeps telling me I could not have got HIV infection from snorting drugs but I have facial and body wasting, abdominal pains so bad I can't eat, bad night sweats, headaches, insomnia, dry mouth, fatigue and overall extreme nausea. My doctor has tested for everything else and has found nothing. None of my pants fit me anymore after just 3 months and feel like I am getting weaker by the day. My stool seems lighter in color and I get sharp pains on my right side below my ribs. I think I may have Hepatitis C infection along with HIV but my rapid tests continue to be negative up to 12 weeks. I am so scared I ruined my wifes and my life over such a stupid thing. I am not imagining what is going on with my body, I don't know what to do next.

oh stop all the drama...you are NOT dieing...at least NOT from hiv.

time to accept your status and move on.  if you are unable to do so...i would suggest you seek professional mental help.

We DO NOT recommend PCR tests as they are NOT used as s diagnostic tool for HIV. They are prone to a High incidence of FALSE POSITIVES. If you have a question or are unsure of information, please feel free to ask us BEFORE posting advice.

Go take a pcr test.  That should calm you down.
