If you believe you have been exposed to HIV and want help to judge your risk, would like advice about HIV testing, or have questions about the effectiveness of condoms or risks associated with specific sexual practices, this is the site for you.
I do not know much about your exposure, but my guess is that your chances of having contracted HIV from them, like most of the people who post here, were pretty darn slim.
Sorry, just read an earlier post from you. You indicate that you tested negative at 5 weeks. Kay, this is pretty good evidence that you don't have HIV, and that whatever symptoms you think you may be experiencing aren't related to HIV. I know you are going to test again, which is good. Not because you may have HIV, but because it may help you get a grip on your anxiety once you get your negative result (and it will be negative, without doubt, it will be negative).
I worked with a guy who thought he had AIDS for two full years, finally gave up and tested, he was negative. Gave him a WHOLE new lease on life to find out.
Prayers you're negative. It sounds like your exposure is slim.
Kay-z,

If you are passing blood in your stool, my suggestion is to post to a doctor's office post haste. While it does not sound at all like symptoms of primary HIV infection, it is something that should not be ignored. Has your doctor examined the ulcers you are talking about? If not, get it looked at.
