April encounter with 2 unknown guys, talked about drugs and Bottom line I strongly believe I was injected.
I was healthy prior to this night
1.5 weeks started to feel lightheaded
2 weeks 1 day sore throat
2weeks 2 days really bad throats and chest infection. Coughing lasted 3 to 4 weeks
Rash started and 3 weeks to now rash on chest, thighs, stomach, neck never had before
3 weeks plus aching legs
Tingle g in arms and legs
4 to 8 weeks felt so bad whole body just alien, felt like a UTI I had years back
Still lightheaded
Still rash
Guess everyone says don't look at symptoms BUT why all this on a healthy guy afte a stupid encounter
My details
Healthy, minor asthma, inhaler daily and have hypothyroidism. Apart from that 49 and ok
Now I have shaking in hands and still lightheaded and feel 60%
Testing
25 day duo Uk .. I guess Duo
30 day same as above
54  insti at Uk GUM
62 duo in a private clinic 9 weeks
75 duo just taken in a private clinic
After being soooooo ill and still issues I really feel I will be the small % who for some strange reason seroconverted at 9 to 10 weeks.
Any thoughts guys and sorry for the long post I just. Wanted to get it down
Cheers

This is not a realistic concern. People who are paranoid of being injected with HIV suffer from severe paranoia which requires therapy to overcome. This is not in any way a normal thought.

Symptoms are never used to diagnose an HIV infection. A combination of risk factor (yours is zero because you had no exposure) and HIV test results (which you've already done multiple times with negative results) are used to diagnose HIV. You're absolutely conclusively HIV negative based on those two factors. Whatever is wrong with you is definitely not HIV. Keep working with your doctor to treat the issue and find a therapy appointment to discuss your irrational HIV phobia.
