I just keep thinking to how dry my mouth was, now I find out how many people experience during ARS. I don't think its a coincidence my mouth was as dry as it ever has been 2.5wks after I had protected sex with this person. She sabotoged me. She lied to me. I know she gave me HIV. I'm getting pissed off again.

For some reason the cost was eddited so I will write it long... the cost is t-ree thou-sand dol-lars

Chief,

You are still sweating HIV.  Man, go get tested. We started this venture together.... and I don't sweat HIV at all now!

Now the testicle thing....  well that is a whole 'nother storry.

The update is, well they can find a single bug in me. But apparently I have come down with prostatitis, and bilateral nut pain.  It is a dull pain. I have to get a 2 gram shot for 14 days. Then switch to oral antibiotics for the next 2 weeks.  The cost of all of this **** I have put myself through has been at least 3,000 US. That is including everything & I do mean everything from the initial costs to even aquire such issues in the first place.  3K in any country is a lot, but here that is over a years sallary for most folks. Each shot cost 100$, I switched to a genaric after 4 doses. The doc. "forgot" to mention there was a genaric, and the pharmacist, bless her, told me about it. The cost for it is around 25$. I still have another 10 shots to go.  It really is not a shot, more of an IV drip thing, or sometimes called a "push."  They take a syringe that looks like something you would give a cow, hook it into a hose line and stick the hose into a vien.  Very fun....

But any how, in the back of my mind I just hope I will be back to normal after all of this. Sad truth is, it actually seems like my nuts have shrunk some....   which does happen sometimes...  for those that didn't know.  Any how, there may just be a hidden bennifit to smaller nuts.  Who knows.

So BD, go get tested....   You do not have HIV, trust me, if I didn't get it from my deseased flea bag of love....  I know you didn't get it.  I get so mad at myself when i think of how dumb i was....   Anyhow, go get tested, you are OK.

it simply amazes me regarding the amount of torture you are putting yourself through.

Speaking of which, I am going back to bed.

I had some tightness and hot feeling  for some intial days but not right now.apart from that it was something is dry itching near tonsils in throat and need water to drink(still has this problem).
I also noticed that I urinated more frequentely during those days.(lol I drink water too much??)
but feeling hot with weakness and needle itching feeling was the tough thing and now it is gone.(fingers crossed)
Today teak has told me that in India we have 12 weeks window period and I tested at 11 weeks so it is a good.
And I really trust that the symptoms are never a reliable indicator of HIV.I have tooooooo trust........
I can not go by symptoms  here ........
For me atleast I am testing because I need to know in clear even IF I am having all the symptoms.
I got the 11 WEEK result after three days on internet so no need of going to testing site again that was the plus point as I was too afraid of going back.
second reason is that this could be some other problem in my body so once I will be clear of XXX
then I will have a regular med checkup.
Wish you good luck

coz

[bigdummy]

I too have tightness.

[coz80]

Hey Kimoz,
I will tell you after 10 days..............
I really need a lot of luck for this.....(just praying)
Bye and good luck
coz

[kimoz]

I do not have any fatigue now, in fact I am completely fine too, except my tongue and nodes. I do also feel some tightness in my throat all the while though, I don't know why is that, could be because of my nodes or maybe even thrush? I do not know. I think I have notice some kind of a very pale pink patch too at some point too on my left leg, but it wasn't obvious at all. Well let's hope its some kind of strange infection, meanwhile just take care of our health, whatever it is I do not want to make it worse.
Well good luck to you too, I really think you'd be fine.

[coz80]

Hey kimoz,
I trust you and your woories are ok with your symptoms But HIV should not be a issue with this. (this will put the whole reasearch upside down).
Hope we have got some strange infection and it will be ok in some time.
Now I am completely fine except my tongue and nodes.(No fatigue no hot feeling  no such dry mouth etc..)fingers crossed.....
ONE thing is that my pink/light yellow patch is is not looks like a rash but a 2.5 inch amoeaba shaped spot on my upper back and is still there from the last 5-6 weeks WITH NO ITCHING.
Do you have fatigue at this point too?
I  am just quitting smoking and alcohol.I do not know about my future but may be this can provide a correct result next time.
I can only guess till my 16 week test and I REALLY do not like this guessing game.
good luck
coz

[kimoz]

Mine is complicated. Unprotected frottage, nake body massage with broken pimples and some unprotected outercourse too. Normally this wouldn't even be regarded as a risk, but i have many doubts there, you know those many what-ifs questions lead me to believe I have some kind of a theoritical risks there. If it is not for my symptoms I wouldn't even be worry at all, as I don't consider myself as a WW here.
By the way my throat doesn't look/feel good at all too. I do hope it is mono, but mono couldn't come so quickly I suppose? It could last long though from what I have heard, but I don't have any bad sore throat here so i don't think this is the case for me.

[coz80]

Hey Kimoz,
may I ask what was your risk if you dont mind?
mine has a possibility of failure in condom(hole or something).....but you?
bye
coz

[coz80]

Now I am also thinking about mono because I have seen white pus/thing in my throat for 5-6 days at week 12-13.
it is not stable when I drink water or gargle  that white thing used to be gone.
But mono symptoms can not be so prolonged (more than 2 months??)
this confusion is not good........

[kimoz]

I have diffuse generalized lymphadenopathy too. That sucks even I probably have no risk.

[coz80]

"HIV may cause different forms of lymphadenopathy, but the most usual form is diffuse generalized lymphadenopathy. This means that swollen lymph nodes occur in at least two regions of the body (commonly on the neck and in the armpits) excluding the inguinal area (that's where humans have their most useful and interesting organs).
"
Hey BD this is not good for me and this data is given  in your link. :=((
Even I think I dont need a test now..
there is any chance of a good news for me??(OMG........)
coz

[bigdummy]

I said the same thing to myself. I'd rather have cancer, cuz atleast you have a chance of curing it. And you can still have sex.

[bluebell81]

you are going to be fine, i can feel it.

Part of me doesnt want to go test, and if I have it, I will wait until my body breaks down. It would better than being told you basically have an incurable disease and to not expect to live much longer. At least when you get cancer you have a chance at survival, HIV...no chance.

[bigdummy]

I don't think so. I know your neg, all of your symptoms are mono. I find it impossible that out of all of us on here who are scared that the guy who had protected sex will be the 1 to get it, but I'm affaid my luck in life has run out. Maybe there was a whole in the condom. Maybe she was recently infected and had a lot of hiv on the condom I had and when I took the condom of and cleaned up I unknowingly infected myself. I"m lost.

[bluebell81]

You should go on Monday...it will be like we are going together for moral support! Then hopefully we can post negatives!

[bigdummy]

Atleast you have the courage to test, I'm a *****. I just don't want to go crazy. It would kill my mother. I don't know what I would do to this person. I still wonder if that testing center stuck me with a used needle.

[bluebell81]

I am so scared now.

I am still going on Monday for my test.

[bigdummy]

I told you it was scarry, you just couldn't resist. We can  pray for eachother, I'm not too religious, but there comes times when you have to believe in a higher power.

[bluebell81]

I am starting to cry right now.

I had an oral lesion on my tonsil just like it describes! I lost 10 lbs due to my sore throat. I have fatigue. I woke up this morning and my throat felt like it was on fire it was so dry and when I drank water it burned to go down

I was hoping my mono diagnsosis was correct. Now I am so scared it was a sham.

[bigdummy]

I keep getting those sensation over my body like someone is poking me with a needle. What the hell does that mean?

[bigdummy]

I'm telling you this person gave me HIV. My mouth was like the sidewalk on a 100degree day. And I couldn't produce spit. My stomach is starting to hurt.

[bigdummy]

Does anyone know if its possible for a testing center to re-use a disposable needle. Those are my only 2 suspects. This lying woman I was with and that damn testing center. I got sick 1 day after I left that damn place. That 1 is going to be hard to prove.

[Teak]

Wish you had to pay us all here 15 bucks to put up with your nonsense.
