HIV and Anxiety symptoms

by beautylover, Jul 17, 2008 04:27AM
Hi all,

i just tested for HIV myself today and thank GOD it was NEGATIVE! (3 months after i had sex with some escorts).

However, between April to July, i have had several of these symptoms:-

Muscle aches and joint pains
Rashes
Tiredness, lethargy
Guilt and sleepness nights

All of these are i believe, symptoms of Guilt / Anxiety and the fact that i got them i now know that it was WRONG to have sex with someone you hardly know where there is NO love. Many who have posted on this forum have reported symptoms of similar descriptions (or worse) and i believe that these symptoms are reflective of these illicit sex acts. They may not necessary be due to HIV or any other sexual disease but the fact that SO MANY PEOPLE are experiencing them is a very good indication that they represent anxious / guilty symptoms. Certainly not loving symptoms...

i just wanted to post this commentary here for the future so that whenever anyone commits a similar offense or mistake that we can recognise them as such. No judgement intended, just my opinion.

i wanted to say that i really THANK GOD that i am not infected with any sexual diseases as a result of MY SINS of having sex with 5 escorts in the past and have over these 3 months repented of my MISTAKES and will never put myself and my family and friends at risk ever again!!!

Thanks for reading and i wish all, on this community the VERY BEST of Health and GOD's blessings.

Cheers, Beautylover

wishing you well :)

take that negative result and what you have learned from all of this, and move on with your life.

These are anxiety symptoms. Your test proved that you are not infected.

a test at 6-8 weeks is a good indication of the final result...and it is highly unlikely it will change.  the guidelines still state that to obtain a conclusive result...you must test at 3 months.

Thanks Lizzie.

i hope this testimony is a reminder to myself and many others who tread this forbidden and dangerous path and then decide to find the TRUTH.

i will visit often to offer any insights and encouragements as may be needed.

GUYS out there, stay TRUE to your CONSCIENCE and YOUR GAL if you have a Dear ONE!

Love & Blessings,         Beauty Lover
