body is aching

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I believe that I could have contracted HIV in Feb. of 2004 during my freshman year of college.  I stupidly had unprotected sex with a guy that was known to be a player.  Soon after I developed fever, severe swollen glands, terrible headaches, lack of appetite, diahrrea and severe lack of energy.  I got tested for HIV in May 2004, December 2006 and July 2008.  All negative results.
Lately, my health has been in decline.  In November 2007, i had a severe upper respiratory infection with a really bad dry cough to the point that i could not breathe and fever.  In March 2008 I became severely constipated and lost 17 pounds in 3 months unitentionally.  At 23, I have been to a GI doctor and have had a colonoscopy and endoscopy.  All the doctor could conclude was that something had caused my GI tract to slow down.  In June 2008 i had soaking night sweats and began to develop some respiratory distress.  I was even hospitalized overnight in June 2008 with what doctors believed was a "lung infection".  After reviewing my blood work they asked if I had ever been tested for HIV.  I had been tested 3 times at that point all with negative results.  In November I had the mother off all tonsil infections with steriods prescribed to tone down the swelling. It was so severe I could not even breathe.  Soon after I developed a horrible yeast infection.  Recently I have gone to the ER due to severe lung pain and chest pain.  My blood gas tests were off, chest x-ray clear, platelets and WBC count a little low as well as a high ALT liver reading.  My body is aching all over the place.  I have severe pain in my lungs, it is literally all over my body.  I can no longer work out at the gym.  I also need to go get an echocardiogram because my doctor thinks i have something wrong with my heart.  I should note that i am 23, petite, not overweight and am a health fiend.  I have been tested for lupus and am negative and now my doctor is exploring other autoimmune diseases.  I explain to every doctor that I have been to about my possible HIV exposure.  I am scared out of my mind.  I know I should take comfort in my negative tests but i just can't.  I even confronted the guy who i think i contracted it from even though i haven't spoken to him in years.  I just feel that if i never become involved with him these things would not be happening to me.  Please help, I dont know what to do and I am totally convinced that somehow my tests were wrong.

Whatever is going on with you has absolutely nothing to do with hiv infection. You have tested more than conclusively hiv negative, far outside the window period. All those tests can't be wrong.

You don't have hiv. Keep working with your doctor to find out the cause of your symptoms. Hiv is NOT causing them.
