Dear all,
Now I have completed 13 weeks mark and may be at week 16 i will again get tested.I also know that there is remote chance that my result will change.(God help me).
But following are the symptoms i am having after protected oral and vaginal sex(same condom) with CSW(I think I was not me at that time :=(.
1-after 4-5 days started feeling Great FATIGUE and body feels hot.some pin like itching.also feeling like having a fever but no fever or very low garde.(do not know if it was there for some time in the night or may be during day time).
2-at week 1 got white tongue or you can call it as white furry tongue.I have small white dots on my whole upper part of the tongue.I still have it.
3-There are several bleood vessels can be seen in my throat(may be strep throat.In the morning some white thing used to be there in my throat but after gargle it use to be gone.
4-at week 8 i got swollen lymph nodes(a bit painfull) in my armpit for one then pain is gone but swelling is still present.after this got swollen nodes below my ears and still has them at week 13.
5-at week 7 got a big pink patch of 2.5 inch on my upper back wth two small pimples on it.patch is still there but pimple are gone at week 12.
6-Got some pain in the abdomen just near spleen part for two days in week 13.
6-now at week 13 all the symptoms are gone except white furry tongue and some signs in throat.
now after the above I am feeling like lost.Even in my previous post some members(thanks for kind words) has suggested me my test are ok but what about the possibility of a wrong antibody test by CMIA method.
I am really sorry that I am posting again but PLEASE understand my situation.
once again thanks
coz

You didn't have a risk and your CBC doesn't mean squat. You can not get infected by having protected sex.

Well see I haven't really kiss anyone too so Mono is not a chance for me, but your 11 week negative and your level of risk is really strong indication that you don't have it. Perhaps we've both got some kind of strange virus here, but I don't really know what it is. By all means please do go take a 13 week test if you still worrying, I think you should be fine, there's no reason to suggest not otherwise. And I really hope so too cos I see us more or less in the same boat now.

Dear Mike,
I got tested at week 11(in india) not at week 12.Also I would not have sent a post here if I was not having symptoms.
So may be statics is in my favour but I am not feeling safe.(not checked the condom)
I am also not relating  symptoms like headache or having a pimple etc.
All my symptoms are listed in the ARS list (like white furry tongue) and I really hav'nt kissed anyone so Mono is not a chance.
I am asking again and again because I am scared and lost all the interest in life.
Even I was hoping Eifel tower to fall.
So anyway I am really sorry for all this and I pray the doctor in indian Lab was wrong and my 11 weeks results are accurate.
I do not know much about Indian's statics but this incidence happened in Europe not in India.
Now I am winding my things here and going back home.
It was enough for me.
also this mail is just a response do not take this as a offence or something.

bye and take care

No chance, whatsoever !

You used a condom and that kept you protected, you don't have HIV and you will never get it if you consistently use a condom every time you have sex.

I don't feel proud to say this and when I say this I really feel the pain, I haven't seen one Indian here on the forum who had a real risk, every friggin guy has tested out to 3 months for no reasons whatsoever, why are we so irrational when it comes to thinking, don't you know what are condoms used for, you do, right ? And that's why you used it at the first place, now why are you acting stupid by asking the same question over and over again and guess what, you also got a 12 weeks negative and some mother fuckin son of a bitc.h told you to test out to 16 weeks out of his a.s.s and you believed it, these home brewn figures don't work, guideline says "3 month's conclusive" and truly it is, this is like making a major major monkey out of your own self.

what a waste !

Hello Kimoz,
I have read your posts and even I think what you are writing is about me.
But when I tell about my exposure people say I dont even need to test.
Fatigue and feeling hot is now gone at week 13 but white furry tongue and throat blood vessels are still visible.Even I can not take a test in this country.
I had one 11 week negative test and that is my hope.(offcourse God is the first one).
Teak/peekawho/Mike/scaredinabudhabi also suggested that I am negative and symptoms are not reliable in case of HIV.
But my doubt is that my lymph node started to fell swollen at week 7-8.Not between 2-4 weeks.
So can the symptoms start after 4-5 days and ARS happens at week 7-8.Even I had a skin patch at week 7-8.So as per the facts my 11 week test may have been positive If I am infected.
WBC is a bit concern for me now.
Neutrophil                               5.89    thou/mm3 (2.00 - 7.00)
Lymphocyte                             2.98    thou/mm3 (1.00 - 3.00)
Monocyte                                 0.67    thou/mm3 (0.20 - 1.00)
Eosinophil                               0.28    thou/mm3 (0.02 - 0.50)
Basophil                                 0.03    thou/mm3 (0.01 - 0.10)
Blood Picture                          Normocytic normochromic red
                                          cells. There is
                                          erythrocytosis.
HOPE I WILL BE NEGATIVE.

So keep full faith in God and you will be ok.
wish you good luck and stay well.

Hello,
One last question please
at week 11 I had a
Haemoglobin      18.60    g/dL     (13.00 - 17.00)
Packed Cell Volume               55.30    %        (40.00 - 50.00)
Leukocyte Count, Total           9.90    thou/mm3 (4.00 - 10.00)
RBC Count                            6.09    mill/mm3 (4.50 - 5.50)

do you think this indicates a infection??
PCV and RBC could be due to smoking but WBC??

As peek told you, you did not have a risk and there was no reason to test or retest. Learn the risks of transmission, this disease is going to be around for a long time.

hello peekawho,
May be i am not so good in explaining things but it was really serious.
I was feeling like dying with all these symptoms (especially with fatigue for more than first 7-8 weeks)and suddenly at week 13 everything is ok(except white tongue) without a single medicine.
do not know it is ok or not but i will post my results to you at week 16.
once again thanks alot

Because symptoms don't mean anything at all.  If you had protected intercourse, you do not have HIV.  Period.  

So any symptoms you have are related to something else.  Sometimes you may never know what, since what you describe is nonspecific.  

Sex is a normal, natural, and enjoyable part of life.  If you swear off it completely out of fear and anxiety, you will not succeed and will be right back here again after your next encounter.

Please do not take this as a offence just a little query from a really worried person.

You did not need even the test at 11 weeks, so if you want to waste any more time and energy on this, go right ahead.  It won't change.

protected sex is protected sex.

your test at 13 weeks it's negative and conclusive!
You don't need a test with a not broken latex condom!!!
