rapid weight loss

I visited  a CSW last month. I was drunk, I dont recall having penetrative sex with her. the most I remeber was one time dipping for 5 seconds.

I lost appettite, losing lot of weight, I lost 4 kg weight.  2inch waist. Gerenal sick feeling.

I took DNA PCR @23Day and Rapid test 25Day. both negative... still losing weight.

I dont have fever or sore throat,cold.

1. could weight loss and general weakness be the primary symptoms?
2. The lab I took tests, say I am fine(labcorp/aboutmyhealth.us). I called up AIM (Adult ind medical) they say I am fine testing @3weeks.
    those test mean anything at all?
3. I have no explanation for weight loss. second/third week I had headache for 3-4 occasions
4. Do ARS symptoms come all at once or one by one?
5. If my symptoms are due to hiv, shouldn't DNA test show something?

Please help...I am in extreme stress... Now due to weight loss & general sickness, I am beginning to wonder, may be there was more than one time dipping

Sorry for your concerns but lets look at this and cut it up...
1) So far you have a neagtive HIV test thats not going to change...

2) Stress will cause you to lose weight among other things ease up and get off the web looking for ways to convince yourself otherwise..

3) Symptoms from HIV dont start until 7 to 14 days after an exposure.. Again quit reading into it and stay safe when it comes to sex..

4) Goodluck the force is with you.....

ppl loose weight from not eating...NOT from early hiv infection.

you have repeatedly gone back and forth on this issue.  one minute you just rubbed on the outside...the next you dipped for 4-5 seconds...then you stated "ok i didnt penetrate her"...and now we're back to 5 seconds.

ANXIETY will cause you to doubt what actually happened.

if you actually penetrated her for only 5 seconds...it is highly "unlikely" you were infected.  with that being said...the ONLY way to know your status is by testing 3 months post exposure.

I was anxiously waiting for your reply. thanks  for responding to my question  Lizzie.

Many websites say, rapid weight loss is the symptom of early hiv infection.

those test I have taken, do they mean anything at all?

I checked the posts, DNA PCR is not FDA approved, but the place I took they say I am just fine with that test @23 day. People in Canada dont know what is a PCR test.

Do the symptoms occur all at once or one by one?

can the symptoms like extreme fatigue start from day 3?

Thanks for replying to my post. No matter how much I try, Finding difficult to focus on anything else...

Would a six week test be accurate?  is there really no test that can give some confidence before 3 months?

[alienshadow]

A six week test is a good indicator you dont have HIV.. But reading your thread you never had a risk to begin with... Time for you to forget about hiv..

[WorriedCanadian2010]

I have my Six week test today. Wish me luck...

[stupiddumbgirlwhoshouldaknewbetter]

I can't tell you anything other than I lost 12lbs in one week alone (I am average size) and couldn't eat for weeks as a result of sickness and anxiety combined.  I tested negative at 6 weeks, 9 weeks and 3 months so that was no indicator of HIV for me.  Ok!  Best wishes.  

[WorriedCanadian2010]

Got my 6 week results Negative... (Rapid test).


I had

23 day elisa  : Negative
23 day DNA PCR : Not Detected
25 Day Rapid test  : Negative
28 Day Elisa  : Negative
39 Day Elisa : Negative
42 Day Rapid test : Negative
39 Day DNA PCR (Results pending)

I feel that 39 Day DNA PCR was total waste of money.

what are the chances of  these negative changing?

I have leg muscle pain... at this point I dont know, what does that mean?

[alienshadow]

ZILCH you have tested way to many times.. This isnt normal please seek mental help if you cannot get over this hurdle...

[WorriedCanadian2010]

After posting the message, I kind of realized that.... "this isn't normal".
I have one more scheduled next week. crazy.. eh?  (I think I am gonna cancel the next week test).

My therapy is not helping.  My family doctor is not prescribing any pills..  only sleeping pills. which I dont want to take.

[alienshadow]

You dont need any form of pills my friend.. You had no risk you need to believe that... Try to get busy and stay away from meds..

[WorriedCanadian2010]

23 day DNA PCR : Not Detected

And what do you want us to tell you that you have not already been told? I think Lizzie stated it great...a test at 3 months is conclusive if you actually did penitrate her without a condom. And as Lizzie also said weight loss has nothing to do with HIV.

[WorriedCanadian2010]

Teak,

I got what you are trying to say.. Dont ban me from here...

Tested negative at 7 weeks.....
