asymptomatic period

I have gone through loads of questions and haven't seen anything similar to mine. After seroconversion would something like a common wart appear a few months after or changes in your nails I.e longitudinal melanonychia occur? I think people need to be specific about the asymptomatic period. There aren't no symptoms just not any Aids defining symptoms . I think that leaves a lot of other minor conditions out in the meantime like folliculitis, neuropathy, and the two I already mentioned as I am experiencing these and feel that there is no way they are not HIV related especially after a possible seroconveersion.

Wow.... You are truly petrified....

My simple suggestion is stop googling(hard to do, I know). Reach out to your PCP and have a 4 generation done, you would have your results in a week(Max). If you don't get a doctor appointment right away, go to the nearest Planned parenthood and have yourself tested.

I m pretty confident your results would be to what your heart favors and put all the things that happened and go on... Have a healthy life. Hope to hear from you that you are all fine soon.

This does not sound like an HIV concern, but if you are worried, go get tested.

Its hard to explain. Basically , I feel I was raped. I had two glasses of wine with someone I considered a friends, his sister was there before she went to bed , I had gone to the washroom two to three times. I feel like he slipped a something in my drink because I remember nothing after a certain point. I've blacked out once in my life prior and it was heavy alcohol drinking for hours not two glasses of wine. I questioned him about this after an he made a sick joke about me becoming pregnant , he then saw that I was very serious and said he was joking, I did not find this amusing at all and never spokento him again although he tried to contact me a few times after and I blocked his number. 3 to 6 weeks after, I was eating out and immediately felt sick and had diarrhea, went home, ate another meal , still felt kind of weird and went to bed. Woke up in the middle school of the night feeling extremely sick went upstairs could barely move and threw up. I was sick for a couple of days thereafter. My mom and brother also ended up getting sick so we attributed it to a virus. Maybe a few months later I noticed a small growth on my pinky , didn't know what it was, ignored it, until a few months after that I had a burning sensation after urinating my doctor said it was a uti, Gave me antibiotics but I got a bad feeling and starting googling std's and genital warts came to mind after research . I started to panic and became extreme stressed . I was taking nail polish off of my toes one day and noticed light brown bands on 3 of them. Googled this and saw HIV . I then became curious about this thing on my finger, googled that saw a wart looked like what I had and then the anxiety and panic started. I then developed what I believe to be folliculitis (red pimple with hairbin the middle, itchy sometimes) but my doctors kept saying it heat rash. Maybe a month or two after that I started getting pin and needles / nimbess in extremities with short periods of pressure looked this up and found neuropathy something frequent in HIV patients .

Dude,

Warts can appear for plenty of reasons and apperance of a wart need not say that you are seroconverted,

A simple test(III or IV generation) would rule out the possibility

IV generation test - 4 Weeks after the last possible exposure, this looks for the antibodies and the virus itself

III Generations - Looks for antibodies and best done at 3 months(as per CDC)

All the best.
