am hiv and now have chicken pox which i develop fever everynight am not sure what is happening
Hello,
From the symptoms they are not suggestive of HIV infection. However to clear your doubts, you can get it tested by specific tests for HIV like western blot,PCR and ELISA.These tests may show accuracy after 6 weeks to 6 months as HIV antibodies take time to develop in the body.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Make sure you go over your concerns with your doctor, in detail.
Since you had sex with him a year ago, then by now if you did have HIV it would show in a blood test. it normally shows by I believe around 6 months but a test at a year would also show it. When on my 13th bday I accidentally had a finger poke from a needle I was throwing away when I held it by the cap(in my church parkinglot, lovely hu?) and had to get the test at 1mo, 3mo, 6mo, 1yr.
I'd suggest that from now on, do not believe a guy based on what is said and always use a condom at least until it's a committed longterm relationship. :) To me, they'd have seen other symptoms most likely if it were HIV so you shouldn't be afraid to take the test.
What happens with HIV is you want to catch it as soon as possible to get started on meds which then prolong life, so take the test and be sure to talk to your doctor in detail about all of your concerns if you haven't already.
