hiv fever

[10feettall]

If one contracts hiv and gets symptoms, is it possible for the fever to be cured by paracetamol and last for two days only?

[Noname12121212121212]

That's definitely a negative result

[JamesD1991]

Please just go have your test confirmed.  

[10feettall]

But which is more probable in cases of faint line results? A true positive or a false positive?

[JamesD1991]

Yes, especially with a self-administered rapid test.

[Coicoicoi]

How is that pos i dont understand i only see one line

[10feettall]

Is there a chance of false positive?

[JamesD1991]

That is certainly a faint line.  I would go to a clinic and get a test done.  One thing is for sure, you certainly did not seroconvert from receptive oral sex.

How do I post it? Paste a link here? Message you?

[JamesD1991]

Yes, post it.  I'll see if there is really a faint line.

[10feettall]

Yes. Do I need to send it to you

[JamesD1991]

I highly doubt that one appeared.  Did you by any chance take a picture of your result.

[10feettall]

What's worrying me now is the faint line that appeared in the test :(

[JamesD1991]

The human mind is a very powerful thing and has the ability to create any issues that it believes it may be facing.

[10feettall]

So these are all coincidental? The fever before, cough that is still going on even zithromax and anti-tussive did not cure, sores on back of tongue and white spots appearing on the sides of my mouth? :(

[JamesD1991]

You did not have a risk, so you do not have HIV

[10feettall]

It's an hiv test kit where you draw blood from your finger, the one that has C and T lines

[JamesD1991]

I've never heard of an at-home finger prick test

[10feettall]

I did a home rapid test (finger prick test) earlier and a faint line appeared on the results area. :( i've checked my mouth as well and there seem to be some white spots appearing on the upper sides and it's a bit painful and sore. What could this mean? :(

Also just to add, I got treated for this cough with Zithromax and an antitussive but it did not get any better.

I'm afraid that this dry cough is hiv related

[JamesD1991]

It's not HIV

[10feettall]

Sorry. I trust you guys but I'm really just worried. My dry cough has been going on for about 3 weeks now, plus I also had fever and nausea two weeks after possible exposure. Also, after that oral sex my gums became swollen which made me think I could have a mouth sore that time and it became infected that's why it became swollen. I am a generally healthy person and these did not happen to me before.

I know symptoms wont tell anything and i am planning to get tested soon. I am just scared that I might be the first person to get hiv through this mode.
