facial wasting

Teak......i recently got tested but haven't gotten results and as you know I'm still worried about facial wasting and other forms of fat loss that is happening to me. Everytime I sit down I can feel my bone and my ribs have become more pronounced. However I am at my heaviest weight ever and have never lost weight since the encounter . Is is possible this is the effects of hiv and my possible exposure. By the way, this has been gradually occuring after 7 months of incident. Also my saliva looks and has a different texture to it. It is extremely watery.

Facial wasting and fat loss is not a sign of early HIV infection. If I remember right you didn't even have a risk.
