Hello everyone. Can someone please give me some insight or advice? I am a 23 year old heterosexual male that was recently diagnosed with ebv and is scared for my life. I recently had a HIV test done due to possible exposure, my results were negative for HIV but by titers were extremely high for ebv but negative monospot. I am normally very active and for the most part healthy. the first symptom that began to concern me was a rash that appeared on my lower back that was suspected as being Shingles. The physician was uncertain due to the fact that it had slightly cleared upon my arrival to the doctor (which was 3 to 4 weeks after symptoms began). Other symptoms consist of nausea, weight loss, loss of appetite, constant bubbling in the stomach ,watery stool (only in the mornings), swollen lymph node on the right side of the neck, redness over eye lids, loss of sleep, random tingling and numbness in feet and hands, dry skin especially on hands and face, and possible but uncertain of what appears to be a white tongue but I do have white pus like looking spots in the back of the throat. I'm especially worried because someone special to me also has showed symptoms of acute diarrhea, nausea, and headaches but she has not seen a physician yet. I did inform her of the situation.. My ebv numbers are:
EBV Ab VCA, IgM- 1.6
EBV Early Antigen Ab, IgG- 0.3
EBV Ab VCA, IgG- 8.0
EBV Nuclear Antigen Ab, IgG- 2.7
My reference range for all four values is as follows:
Negative 1.0
the physician was not of any help at all when it came to my bloodwork. I didn't receive any explanation for my numbers. Can all this be caused by ebv or is it what I assumed it to be? Please be as honest as possible, I am extremely tired and just want an answer but hoping for the best. Please help!! Thanks
