HIV

[KingBoss]

Ok I have been experiencing a few of the following I just wanted to know whats the risk of HIV. The potential exposure could've been made about 9 weeks ago.

I have been experiencing -
1) Semi-White Tongue (easily removed with a brushing and is painless)
2) Mild Diarrhea (Last for about 2-3 days maximum)
3) Underarm  Lump

My opinion, I agree 100% with what has been said.

Thanks. Anymore opinions

9 weeks is conclusive for you. Get tested.

You don't have HIV. First of all, you were not with a high risk partner. Secondly, even without a condom, any expert will tell you that it is difficult to contract HIV. What you describe are not symptoms of HIV. Semi-white tongue is normal and it doesn't come off by scraping when it's a symptom of HIV. And even so, White Tongue (or Thrush) only happens in late stages of HIV, not 9 weeks or even a year. Mild Diarrhea can be due to anything and is not a symptom on its own (stress probably). As for the underarm lump, you don't know if it's a lump until a doctor says it's a lump.

You don't have HIV from this exposure. If you're still concerned, go get an HIV test. A 9 week test is a good indicator and a 3 month is completely conclusive. Expect a negative result.

Also let me include I still have my appetite and no fatigue at all. I am very active in my sports etc.

I don't care about your symptoms. Nor does HIV.

9 weeks ago? Go get tested, expect a negative.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm 17.
also, can I ask is your opinion based on my symptoms or are you encouraging me?
Are the symptoms at 9 weeks usually worst?

[KingBoss]

she shows NO symptoms**

Sounds like your a good candidate for our neurotic paranoid HIV Prevention Forum. Welcome to the freakshow, friend!

What was your exposure?

[KingBoss]

Unprotected Sex with a girl from school. We both are in high school, she shows now symptoms and I see her everyday. I think she's monogamous. I asked her about possible symptoms, she's been seeing none. She's gaining weight lol. I think I am over reacting and I will see a doctor soon. I'm just looking for other possible opinions.
