Question to all!

I have posted on here before about a highly unlikely exposure. It was about me having a nipple piercing and what if the other person had blood in his mouth, yes i know that it is very unlikely. anyways 10 days later i came down with some very strange symptoms and they kinda just lingered.i had never gotten sick like that before, it was the strangest feeling, i know that it would be rare if i did. well at one month i tested negative and also at 10 weeks and 3 days. well people say that the odds are in my favor and i should not go by symptoms. well anyways my boyfriend knew the whole situation so we decided to have sex unprotected he was the only one i have ever been with and we have before. well then when my test came up at 3months and 2 weeks im still negative. but now im feeling worse then before and he got some kinda cold like a little over a week later. im still not feeling well and now im wondering what if i gave him something. wouldnt something have shown up by now. when i go to the doctor  certain nutrients of mine were low, and my ph levels were a little high,but i also dont eat right and from being stressed out i was really eatting at all during this whole thing. im trying to except my results, but its hard when i have all these things going on with my body and all these conincidences. im just scared and stressed and when i look at him, i think oh my god, how could i have even put him in that situation. anything would be appreiciated

How many times have you been told that symptoms mean absolutely nothing? Now if Medhelp gives you time away from the forum you'll only have yourself to blame.

Excuse me for seeming foolish, but it is very scary for me, im asking for serious advice regarless of how foolish it may seem or regarless of the risk assement. i wish i could say i had no symptoms or that i cut my self and then touched somebody what if i got it. but i cant say that, because ive been having symptoms now for a while and many other things are not adding up right.

It has nothing to do with HIV. Move on. You don't want MedHelp to tell you to move on because they are done with the foolishness.

Your comments are always appreciated. and yes i have been seeking mental help, but that is not making the symptoms go away. To you it may seem stupid or whatever, but for me its a nightmare and its scaring me like crazy. All these things that have been going on are really hard to deal with when physically there are things going on and my boyfriend getting sick when he did, all this is to much of a coincidence for me to relax and believe  that everything is ok.

if the person was coinfected do you get both for sure? and would there have been some kind of sign that something was wrong? besides symptoms and test what is a good indication? im still getting pain in my joints and sometimes it feels like burning, i dont know what to think anymore.

Seek professional mental help because none of it has anything to do with HIV.
