sinus problems persist

Sinus problems started again last week and they're still persisting until now, like 1.5 weeks now. Mucus stuck in my sinuses. It's been roughly three months since I've had sex. HIV or ARS doesn't present like this right, in terms of timing? It's really bothering me and I keep associating it with my fears.

It's been two weeks now and I still have these sinus problems... Kind of like a post nasal drip but sticky. I never had something like this for this long, and the fear will not leave. Are you guys sure it's not HIV related? I don't know the cause, and I don't want to bother my doctor again I've gone too many times these few months...

I really want to move on, but what is up with this sinus problem? It's been there for 1.5 weeks it's really worrying. I don't remember ever having something like this for this long. Is it ever going to go away?! Can HIV do this? Even 3 months after intercourse?

Teak, I really want to, but I keep suffering from these mood swings. One moment I think I am fine then the next moment I feel like I am doomed. Mainly correlates with symptoms but on the whole I think I am feeling better. However this sinus problem that's been going on for 1.5 weeks isn't helping. HIV doesn't present this way in terms of timing does it? It's like the same sinus problem I had two weeks after protected sex which I suspected as being an ARS symptom. I'm just so confused, or I suppose you could say, ignorant and cowardly.

Do you have any allergies - after all, it is Spring and pollen levels are very high.  Get an HIV test if you need to allay your fears.
