showing HIV symptoms

[scaredguy309]

I used to come to this forum many months ago, cuz i thought i caught HIV due to the symptoms i was having, i now know they were due to herpes and not hiv. Now with the dumbest luk in the world am back scared as ever. The prob is i recently had a condom failure with a girl and since then i've been getting the very same symptoms, except fever. Soar throat, muscle and joint pains, headaches, neck pain and one gland in my neck swollen for a couple days. i also got a diahorrea for one day but it may or may not be connected to this. Here's the thing, the girl also has herpes but due to the fact that i already have antibodies for it i shouldn't be gettin those symptoms which have been going on for 2 weeks now. So its not herpes, then what cud it be!!! Am really afraid. What else cud cause those symptoms?

Hi,

What I know, I know these people will tell you not to listen to me coz I am scared of testing and I had ur symptoms + vision problems, paresthesia and others. Anyway
having an STD/STi like syphilis and genital herpes increases the risk, but if treated it can be ok even if the sores were there.

one other note, if you had herpes they hurt if not treated so you wnat be performing sex
until you treat them.

Hepatitis takes 2-6 months to show symptoms and usually includes abdominal pain

Did you treat the herpes when you got them?
I also agree with teh otehrs the symptoms mean nothing...get tested if you are braver than me.
Good luck.

You need to chill out.

my doc has my results but i hav to wait till tomorrow to get them. What TORTURE!!!! This is my last post before my life changes forever. I don't know what to think...

[worried826]

Lets put this thread to rest, its ridiculous and you cant convince this guy of anything. Hes sure he has HIV and will find out with his test. Until them ignore him because the more you discuss with him the more worse his anxiety will be.

Be sure to post your negative results though.

What ever, just wait for your test they will prove you wrong.

didn't have joint pain. look, wen i got herpes i got the same symptoms i'm having now and i also thought it was hiv. the symptoms are pretty similar and people were tellin me it was stress. i know stress. i used to have panick attacks and i know this isn't stress related. i no longer hav panik attacks or its effects.

I other words your chance is 4 times lower that the chance you can guess my phone number in the first try if a I give you mi country and area code. you will have to dial
+54341_ _ _ _ _ _

I`ll be waiting your call.

I told you once, your symptoms can be due for thousands of diseases or illnes, the go from stress and anxiety throu flu, cold, mono, ect, to cancer, ect. so if you want to link them to hiv becouse you have and OCD-HIV fobia menthal illnes thats up to you, the real facts are you had condom failure while having sex with your gf, and she had sex with a guy you think that is on high risk, thats equal as an extremly low probability that you had been nfected with hiv, putting that in numbers lets say the chance the other guy had hiv is 50% (really atronomical high), then the chance your gf got it is 1/1000, and then the chance you got it is 1/2000 so your overall risk is 1 in 4 millions, with that odds I would bet all that I have that you are hiv negative,

[alienshadow]

you dont know anything ONLY a test will know but if you want to have hiv then be my guess but you are way overeacting dude

[scaredguy309]

k partner. u really seem as if u're confident. i am interested in medcine and i do know u can't diagnose from symptoms. but given the circumstances, i just know.

[alienshadow]

this guy needs help i will also transfer 100.00 but if its negative you will have to take an std prevention class get real man

[ECN44120]

Is this simple if you test positive sent me your bank info and I`ll tranfer you the 100$ if you test negative then you will have to donate the 100$ to any hiv foundation.

[scaredguy309]

i wud love to bet. just don't know how i'd prove it once the result comes.

[ECN44120]

WHAT THE F...k, you are already looking for treatment options, I think that you know that the chance for her to be infeceted and you will have to multiple that with the chances you are infected, and that is really low, anyway since it doesnt matter for you since you are already convinced that you have hiv, I`ll just want to say that your reaserching on treatment options is usless, If someone would be infected today it very probable that he/she wont start meds for at least 5 years or so, but that time there would be around hundreads of new meds and therapies, we all hope probably even a cure, so dont waste more time, if your girlfriend is over the 3 months so you`ll get the negative un tuesday, please let me know if you want to bet on it. 100$

[scaredguy309]

its the guy's sexual past thats killing me. He had no standards, its just do it with anyone. Now its like i had sex with him cuz i did with her.everysingle bone, joint,muscle has ached at some point and continue to ache. my gf is over 3 months so i'll get the positive on tues. Ask for now am just lookin at treatment options and future treatments

[worried826]

Headaches and joint pain is a sure diagnosis of HIV.

Comon get real.

[ECN44120]

This is definitely HIV, well i dont think so, this is anxiety, stress and depression pretty sure. You can think whatever you want and live your life in your own way, but there is no logic in linking very very common symptoms only to hiv, you know what you have to do, TEST just wait for the 6 weeks to have a 95% accurate result ans then at 3 months for conclusive, then we can start talking about if its definitely HIV or not. the odds are really high on your favor

Good luck

[scaredguy309]

After a couple days of headache and then two days of intense migrain, headache stops. No other noticeable symptoms except dull joint pain all over.This is definitely HIV. I feel like am just waitin for my death sentence on tues. what a horrible life. Whats worse the guy who cheated on my partner gave her herpes and cheated with more than one person.

[worried826]

No more "what ifs" because they just show your anxiety level. First off most people wont ever show any signs of HIV anyway.

Did you tell the doctor about this sex epsode? If so thats clear reason for her to take STD tests.

I dont think anyone is destined to catch HIV.
