Im praying its not HIV
Dear All,
Sorry couldnt post this Q to the doc as the daily quota was exhasuted on the forum.
Im a 24 hetero male. Im confused to the core. However heres my plight. I am a foreigner in Philippines. I had an encounter with 2 females here in Philippines. One was unprotected vaginal and oral. The vaginal was for around a minute, before i realized and pulled it out.
After few days I started experiencing painful urination, weakness and a yellowish penile discharge. I rushed to the urologist, he just saw the yellow discharge and said I was having either Gonorrhoea or Chlamydia, he didnt diagnose but str8way prescibed 1 single shot double dose of Azithromycin and 7 day cource of 14 Vibramycin(Doxycycline). After one day the painful urination went away and so did the discharge. But i started having stool problems,muscus in the stool. The stool started appearing green and then proceed to black in a week. There were no frequent urges but just the loose and wierd stool. I continued the dosage. Completed the 7 days, went to the doc..told him Im feeling fine except for the stool and a little weaknes. He suggested a urinalysis with a urine culture.
The urinalysis showed lot of bacteria, leukocyctes and WBC were present as well. But the culture test came negative. Doc said it might be that the medication is still working clearing off the bacteria.
After 2 weeks, the stool issues were there and I started feeling more weaker. Started experiencing sever chills but no fever. The temperature used to be around 36.3 to 36.7 degs. This freaked me out, I had experienced such weakness only when I had malaria a year ago. I consulted an infectious specialist. He said HIV prevelance is very low in females but more in homsexuals here. He sugested for a CBC/ALT/urinalysis.
16th April 2007:
CBC showed
Hemoglobin 172.0 g/l
Hematocrit 0.52
rbc 6.6
wbc 5.6
Eoisonphils 0.04
Neutrophils 0.64
Lymphocytes 0.27
Monocytes 0.05
Platelet count 156 X 10^9/l
ALT 95 - very high
Urinalysis was normal.

The high Alt is more indicitative of Hepatatitis than Hiv. Hep B is MUCH more likely to be transmitted sexually than hep C and MUCH easier to treat, I may add.
How long since your last exposure? If you are close to three months, you might consider testing for Hiv/hepB/HepC antibody again. If these come back neg, you are probably home free.

I just dont know whats playing with me. I really hope and pray its not HIV. The chills/abdominal pain/white coating on tongue/weakness all seem to be acute HIV symptoms.
The doc shruggs off HIV, and says it can be something viral but not HIV.
If at all anyone has gone through the same or has a hint about it, please suggest. I wouldnt really wanna pay this high a price for my mistake.
Sorry for the long post, wanted to mention everything in details.

Doc suggested a CBC/ALT again after few days focussing towards a viral infection.
20th April 2007:
CBC showed
Hemoglobin 172.0 g/l - Normal: 124.5-168.0
Hematocrit 0.48 - Normal: 0.38-0.50
rbc 6.4 - Normal: 4.4-6.4
wbc 5.4 - Normal: 5.2-10
Eoisonphils 0.03 - Normal: 0.02-0.04
Neutrophils 0.71 - Normal: 0.55-0.65
Lymphocytes 0.21 - Normal: 0.25-0.35
Monocytes 0.05 - Normal: 0.02-0.06
Platelet count 184 X 10^9/l - Normal: 150-450
ALT 125 - again very high - Normal:35-65
HepA/B/C came back negative.
Malaria test came back negative.
I got scared to death. Doc sggested a liver ultrasound. It showed moderate to marked fatty liver. Doc said this also can be due to me being lill overweight.
In between i also felt slight itch on the penis foreskin. Little white coating on the tongue. I am uncircumcised. Out of curiosity and fear i took a HIV ELISA ater 4 weeks,came out negative. I took a CD4 test. The CD4 were 546 and CD8 were 417 with the ratio being 1.32 (normal is 0.9-3.2) Are these really normal??
Still scared. I started drinking plenty of fluids. The weakness subsided..so did the stool issues...but as of now I still get the chills sometimes in morning before waking up. Temperature is the same arnd 36.5 degs. But still i get a feeling my body is trying to fight off something.
I took a CBC on 10th MAY 2007
