lipoatrophy

lipoatrophy

Hi, after two years of being untested after a very risky and bloody exposure. I have started to experience lipatrophy. This occured 6 months after exposure. The first symptom I experienced was the painful feeling of sitting down and losing the "cushion" in my buttox. The fat in my face has disappeared and i now look sickly and tired. The fat in my thighs and the muscle in my back has disappeared as well and my neck has thinned to the pint where my collar bone is more exposed when i put a t- shirt on. even tho I have gained weight i see no improvement in these areas and I am starting to beleive that untreated hiv has destroyed my fat cells. My jeans and clothes fit me different and the only reason along with symtoms (symptoms) of night sweats, red dots on the inside of the mouth and several ulcers there as well  and constant dizziness. I mean, sometimes I'll just walk around and stumble dues to the confusion and dizziness. My penis also has a very bad odor. I have been tested and waitin for my impending discovery

is this not caused by the medication...not the virus?

You're full of more B.S. than a Christmas Turkey. You didn't have a risk. You aren't even HIV positive, so  take your B.S and move on.

what happened was

i used the condom while tryin to  insert my limp penis into her vagina that was bleeding.
When i realized that it was not working, I put back on the same condom and tried again. I think by repeating this process I may have exposed myself to the blood

FoolAldo, your test should be in by now... what's going on man?
I think you should call your doctors office first thing in the morning.
Did you really get tested though?
That's my next question...it's been @ least a week and a half to two weeks scince we spoke so......did you really go?
If not please do so my friend, you need to face up even though it's difficult, okay?

Eventually after an hour I got an erection and we began having sex with a new condom that i used.

these are YOUR own words foolaldo..."a new condom".   i have seen this here on the forum numerous times...ppl changing their story when they dont feel they are getting the answers they want.  i would say that 99.9% of them...tell the correct story the first time they post.

No one gets lipoatrophy due to HIV that early and those that due is caused by their HAART medication. So you are not experiencing Lipoatrophy due to HIV.

You were never at risk, collect your negative result and move on.
