Grace, all,
I received a 12 week negative hiv! But I am still having bad symptoms - sore testicle , headache, eye pain, fatigue, chest pain, loss of appetite (still) and now erectile dysfunction. Nueropathy?
any ideas what else this could be? My partner now has some symptoms.
Just want to try to test for other things - has anyone seen a 12 week antibody and 6 week dna flip? I am now at 14.5 weeks
Seeing regular dr again in a few days -
you need to stop trying to self diagnose and start living your life again dear.
Grace, thank you -
2 weeks until my conclusive 12 week HIV test (formality) I hope. + a full std panel should eliminate any doubt.
Last question: I know you think it is a random non std virus or stress related, which would be ideal.
What do you think about a bad primary infection of Epstein Barr or HSV 2. - right now that is my best guess but ... I have only been an quasi self diagnostician for a few weeks.
Thanks again -
many , many infections out there that aren't std related. just breathing within 3 feet of someone is enough to transmit many infections.
none of your symptoms sound std related. you've thrown numerous antibiotics at your body needlessly which actually does far more harm than good and can even cause some of the problems you've been having!! Keep yourself busy, eat healthy, either eat yogurt 3x/day or take a probiotic like culturelle to replace your 'good' bacteria that all those antibiotics killed off and exercise to increase your energy. In time, this should be better :)

Well you can take Chlam and gono as with these you get a penis discharge and buring when peeing. And the weight loss is most likly from not eating well since your so worried and a lot of the other symptoms from sitting long hours and crossing your legs pinching your testicle. Head ache and fever maybe coming down with a cold as many people in the office could be sick in this time of year flu season. Muscle spasms from constant clenching from HIV the fear. Their is a good treatment for this anxiety that i actually have tried and its called Rolfing.
The bottom line is that you did something you should not have, it would hurt your partner and many other things.
In life when we do something wrong and dont get caught there is a lingering question of when and the punishment. In your case the punishment is what you are going through. If you think your sick then see another doctor but search your soul to see if what your going through is truly the consequence of you actions alone.
Your in finance and the type of person that needs answers and to be in control. With your situation neither is available for you with what you did.
Got it - so on to the pinched nerve - maybe - I am desk office finance guy.
STD specialist, yes, I have been to one, he relied on the negative test results and checked me over for visible signs. Thinks "guiltis" - will call him again
Again- maybe he is right and maybe I am coming across like a looney person. which in turn has people dismissing my symptoms.
I don't think I am a irrational person, I do not want attention, I am an analytical guy, who is still scared and is trying to figure out how bad of a mistake he made. And the various consequences Level 1 chlaymidia or level 10
Well for sure you dont have HIV so get that out of your head. What other disease you have we cant make a guess. Maybe go to a specialist and have some blood work done. Shooting tingles could be a pinched nerve. What type of work do you do.
Thanks- appreciate the candidness.
I guess the real reason I am asking about my weird symptoms is that if I can find the root of my symptoms, ie another std or infection - I can completely rule out the other.
Does thy make sense, I have x symptoms from y disease. If I can identify what disease, I can get proper treatment, or figure out a game plan to cope and yes to your point completely eliminate the gremlin in the back of my head that still thinks there is a z chance that I picked up a life changing illness
Wyoming, if your worried you contracted HIV from this, the worry in unfounded. HIV cannot live in a person front mouth either because the air kills it or even the mouth bacteria. Its not that easy to get HIV, you need some real anal or vaginal hard lasting intercourse to contract it.
If you have never faced a life or death event before, then welcome to the club.
These are self realization events that have taken place. For years we go our merry way. We get horney and want to pay someone to give us sexual satifaction, We descreetly drive up to the massge parlour, sneak in the door, hoping none saw us. We meet the lady and look at her as someone less than us because of what she does. She treats us very nice and is such a nice beautiful girl, that she gives us more trying to make us happy. We ejaculate and now drive home in a panic and for weeks after that think we have contracted a terrible disease from an infected dirty woman.
These thoughts come from self doubt, betrayal.
Please put this behind you and rest in the fact that you wont be doing these in the near future again for a while.
Sorry, I ( the guy) went to massage parlour - had a normal massage until the end where I received mostly digital stimulation but a minute or so of oral from the female therapist. I had received a normal massage from her a few times before but got a little more than I bargained for this time. I was just stupid and didn't say no like I should have.
What was the sexual act you did?
Interesting possibility, a very good friend of mine suggested the same thing, and I guess the my PCP as well in her own way. I so hope you are right.
I am not normally this rattled, probably the biggest event in my life, I know crazy, but it would mean divorce and loss of my family, loss of my health (if it were hiv) and loss of my way of life. So maybe that is what my body is responding to.
But at first I was not this rattled, I truly was just concerned about the basic stds which I thought I handled with the antibiotics and avoiding sex with my LT partner. What sent me over the edge was the shooting tingles, but I tried to tell myself it might be hep a,b, c but when it came back potentially hiv, I did spiral a bit.
Anyway not a therapy session - any other ideas on what I should either research or try to get my PCP to look for. 9.5 weeks so far
Hi Wyoming, whats happened to you is turning out to be a common thing with HIV scare. The worry is so much that your whole way of life has been disrupted. You making all these things happen like the eye twitching as a response to not thinking about being infected. Its paramount to being in a war zone and some day a theory in the HIV community and will label this Post tramadic symdrome. This happens to those who witness very tragic situations and in this case is ones own demise.
Bottom line its the fear of dying. Not so much the death itself, but from such a silly thing as getting oral sex!
Sorry for got to say - I took arythimicine, cifixme and cipro at 4 days to kill any potential chlaymidia or GC or UTI
Also - no appetite for 3.5 weeks, lost 18 lbs
