please answer my question

Your symptoms came on to quick to be related to ARS and I doubt that you contracted HIV from time exposure you expressed but the only way for you to know it to test at 3 months post exposure. I would recommend that you test for STDs while you're at it.

so do u think there is a possibility of getting hiv+
and please tell the chances of it

by Teak, Nov 26, 2007 05:40AM
Yes, it's possible however rather slim, but the only way to know is by testing. Your chance of contracting an STD is greater.

by harry04, Nov 26, 2007 05:48AM
To: teak
ok ,
so u think there is greater chance of contracting an STD,
but , due to enxienty , i think i lose my apatite, and loosing of apatite is the symptom of hiv,
how can i balance my mind because i am so worried about it

by Teak, Nov 26, 2007 06:12AM
I never lost my appetite with HIV. Only when I contracted an OI did I loose my appetite.

that means loose of apatite is not a symptom of hiv

To: harry
same boat you are in same exact thing so far i have tested negative out at 8 weeks today i will take my 12 week final

by ExtremeStress, Nov 27, 2007 09:10AM
loss of      "APPETITE" is not a symptom of hiv. It isa symptom for too many things. Have you never loss your "APPETITE"    before?

by harry04, Nov 28, 2007 12:01AM
To: ExtremeStress
no i never loss my appetite before
and one more thing
is it true that getting hiv is 1/1000 change , even if ur partner is hiv+ , and if u didnt use condom, is this applicable for all countries or only in US.

by alienshadow, Nov 28, 2007 06:41AM
To: harry

by Teak, Nov 28, 2007 06:42AM

when did you know your condom slip off . Was it hanging out in her vagina or it was inside her vagina .I had similar situation in my case i remember when she pulled herself out (she was on my top) i saw condom hanging out in her vagina . Every one here told me i don't have a risk . You can search my post here which was  posted last month.
