Aa
wondering and soo new here
Hello fellas am new here.. And off course with a problem, i had an exposure abt some months ago and got hospitalised. I tested negative for hiv, so after 5 months i repeated the hiv test and it still came negative, then i included HBv test and there it came positive.. But wen i google my symptoms dry mouth, thrush, dry skin, diarrhoea, yellow eyes, red palms (not only the tips but at the middle too) which are mottled. When hand up it looks pale but red and mottled wen dropped.. Feeling frustrated now cos i read a post here and dat described HCV.. How true is dat even though i would be going for Hcv test to confirm.. I believe its not Hiv cos i read thush is an Aids symptoms.. Pls help.. Lost weight, bad taste in mouth, bad odour, skin problems and am currently taking Glucose D.. Started today
Sorry there have been no comments here. Most of us are not experts. I don't know what to say to you, except further testing seems to be called for to find out what is going on with you. It seems to me that it probably is HBV, as HCV typically does not present that drastically or quickly, it is slower acting. That is just a guess on my part. Try to get a HCV test, that is the only way to know for sure. Good luck and let us know the result of your further tests.
