Scared

by cholny29, Oct 02, 2007 06:42PM
To make a long story short Jun 06 I gave a guy oral sex for maybe 2-3 min. No ejaculation but couldve been pre-*** don't know. Had all symptoms even a fever of 100.9 one night. The guy supposedly had a test done at my request where they took his blood in a vial and gave him his results within 30 min. I never heard of that type of test where they would draw your blood in a vial and still give you pretty much instant results so it is hard for me to trust that. I had numerous tests done all negative thank goodness. My doc finally convinced me I was fine after 6 months and I could continue to be a blood donor to red cross like I had done before this ever happened (I have donated a lot). Last week I went to donate and I couldn't because my hematocrit was 36 and it had to be 38 I have never had this happen before so I look online and it says anemia is a sign of HIV. Then a few months back I had something that looked similar to Erythematous candidiasis on the roof of my mouth just for two days with no symptoms at all I just noticed it in the mirror and I just now saw that that is an early sign of HIV. I can't find any other thing it could be from other than the net keeps saying HIVI am trying to be strong but why are all these things signs of HIV. I have tested so far out and I am so scared because when I start to calm down and comfort myself I find something else that ties it back to that. Can someone offer any advice? Anything would be greatly appreciated! Teak any thoughts?

1) hematocrit has to be 38? Not at all, 36 is the lower values for most labs for women>19 . Besides that it may be a symptoms of acute infection (few weeks after infection)

2) Erythematous candidiasis for just two days? Well, that would mean you have a very strong inmune system to fight it back in two days or... it wasn't candidiasis

A test at 6 months trumps all symptoms...if you are a woman anemia isn't all that uncommon.  

You are not dealing with HIV, but see a MD if symptoms persist or concern you.
