Guys...I feel so depressed.....I can't go on any more....I just want to know the truth...the waiting is killing me.
i've got my 3 months mark negative hiv test...alright....but this persistent sore throat is still on...the guy I slept with had it too for a long time...possible HIV?...And after giving head on him, 2 weeks later I feel this itchy rash all over my body..it was foliculitis...no swallen glands...no fever...
Teak, I just need you to give me some support....do many people that get HIV feel their skin itchy during the first weeks of seroconversion?...does a sorethroat lingers on for a long time after being infected?...I'd highly appreciate your response teak.
Thank you all guys...tomorrow I will go to the ID to see what's going on with me....red sore for 3 and a half months is too much guys....throat culture done...all normal....antibiotics...no response....something viral yes.....but that does not go away no matter what this sore throat/pharyingitis is still here...so depressed...
thanks again

Your 3 month neg result is conclusive....you should be celebrating. If you cannot accept that, then you need to seek professional help to work through this. Your anxiety is surely getting the best of you.
Remember, there could be a bazillion different explanations for your symptoms...one that you can be sure of that ISN'T causing them is HIV.
Anxiety is the name of my problems.
thanks again
