thanks alienshadow u really are a big help
i just cant believe i made the stupid mistake in the first place just shows u what alcohol does to u
ever since i have been feeling unwell i have been loooking at life totally different and realising how lucky i am and how stupid i have been i am just praying to god i do not have hiv and i can move on with my life.
iv never valued life so much until this whole episode has happened.
It is all ANXIETY related my friend please see your Dr to get something to calm you down
any1 know anything about my other symptoms?
or do they sound anxiety related?
my exposure was vaginal sex with a sex worker and the condom broke the sex was only 5 minutes but i do not know how long i was exposed for i was very drink i know its not an excuse and all i can remember is looking down and the condom was basically ripped to shred with just a little bet left on my penis . 12 days after the encounter i sarted experiencing my first symptom. list of my symptoms are at the start of this thread.
Wow man you really have a bad case of anxiety. I don't know what your exposure was but I do know one thing for sure. If you believe that your symptoms, which have been going on for 7 weeks now, are possibly from HIV than nothing is going to calm you down until you get a test. So why don't you just go do that and put your mind at ease. It's easy, quick and painless and this way you can stop worrying about it.
thanks alien shadow
what is your opinion on my other symptoms i am talking about like my pins and needles and stomach looks as if it is beating?
You are okay man like we said if you had thrush you would know follow your drs advice
just a quick update,
i went to the doctor that my tonsils aren't really anything to worry about the left tonsil is hardly swollen but the right one is slightly.
she never mentioned anything about my tongue which i am guesseing is a good thing.
she took my temeperature and that was fine and my nodes in my neck wer not swollen.
she thinks that it may have been glandular fever that i had and it is still lingering as it can last a while. i mentioned the pins and needles and muscle twitching and she said that this may be my nerves.
i never told her about my exposure though do you think this would have changed her opinion on what my symptoms are.
now that is 7 weeks my tonsils have been swollen for is this not awful unusual and a sign that i have hiv? or have they been swollen for too long for it to be hiv?
my stomach has also looks as if it kind of beating but not at the same beat of my heart what is this a sign of?
anyone help?
You don't have HIV so if you are so concerned about your symptoms SEE YOUR DOCTOR.
just to add on to that comment i havent been having a sore throat but the past 2 days iv been feeling a kind of lump in my throat even though there isnt anything there.
just to update on my symptoms,
over the past 2 days i have had pelvic pain and pain in my back and have been slight pains in my hands and back. i have been also feeling uncomfort in my kidneys.
none of these things are really that sore they are uncomfortable they feel like a kind of electric shock pins and needles feeling like an ache for maybe 5 seconds.
i still have my swollen tonsils but none of my lymph nodes are swollen.
i dont think i have a fever reason i see that is because i dont have a thermometer in my house and don't know how ot teset for a fever otherwise.
i have a doctors app on friday but would just like to know what anyone thinks i may have .
it has been 7 weeks since my exposure and was wondering with these pains just starting to *** on is this past the sereconversion stage?
are these symptoms related to hiv?
Perhaps you should just have your tonsils removed if they are bothering you that much. You could easily have a case of tonsilitis, or even strep throat. In either case both need to be treated otherwise they can persist for quite a bit of time.
You are way young you will make manyyyyyyyyyy more mistakes trust me we all have and still do
Yes thrush can be painful you dont have that
Anxiety is your problem nothing ELSE
i went to the doctor 2 weeks ago and she said that tonsils can take a while to go down and she expects them to go down but its still not happened yet and the white tongue is still there.
if it was oral thrush would it be painful ?
my throat isnt sore and neither are my tonsils my throat is just a little red.
i have spoken to my mum and dad and told them evrything as i couldnt hide it from them they knew there was something heavy on my mind when i came back from holiday.
when i mention pins and needles and the weird pains to my mum and dad they think its just my anxiety but i don't think it is i think it is hiv.
i am going to go bak to the doctor tomorow because i am starting to worrry again because i was ok when i found out me neg results for chlamydia and gonnorea.
anyone help?
Have you been to the dr? Talk to your mom or dad dude see your doc ok
i am now experiencing pins and needles and weird pains throughout my back and legs do u think this could be a symptom of hiv or just my anxiety?
my tonsils are still swollen thats 6 weeks now!! and my tongue is still pretty white although it comes and goes throughout the day and it is not painful.
i have had no other symptoms recently apart from these.
