Am i infected Please help

[anxiousguy123]

Hi guys,

I'm a man had a vaginal sexual intercourse not really sure if it's a protected or not. What i remember is that this sex worker put the condom on my penis my mistake is i haven't chked it by myself. Before inserting the condom she did unprotected oral sex for a couple of mins then she puts the condom. Afterwards she insert my penis she's on top then we did a dog style and a mercinary one. I also insert my finger and suck her nipples. I'm bit drunk at that time and as far as i remember i did cum. what i can't remember is i was the one who remove the condom and she can't even remember also. What my fear is that she told me that she feels something liquid in her vagina. Also i haven't examine the condom if indeed my sperm is there. That was last march 24. On 27 i had a lower back ache, muscle pain, joint pain , weak, and i had a diarrhea. It's like i want to poopoo but i can't my stomach seems so bloated. It last till 28 and feel well on 29. After a couple of days i noticed a rash on my shoulder it's a bit itchy it's like a small patch that when it dried there's lesion or like ringworm. Anyway I didn't mind it but then on April 24 I got curious since there's a lot not that many of this rash on my  stomach, back, inner thigh, arms, shoulder, palm. I surf the net and found out that it's a symptoms of hiv. I was shocked and got nervous and terrified. Since then i dnt feel any better. I had a night sweats, chill and felt some swell gland in my armpit and groin, shortness of breath. My tongue is also covered with white and has some white in the corner. From time to time there were rashes popping up and it fades away for a couple of hours.

On my 5th week I had a burning sensation in my back it's like a sunburn but i ddnt see any rash also there were new type of rashes evolved it's like a pimple/small blister and is itchy. It's in my body, legs, arms and top of my feet but they were not group together. Currently the first rashes that appeared were already fade and left a mark on my skin and i can't barely feel the swell gland. I'm really very anxious and don't know what to do i think i'm depress. I always feel sleepy and very fatigue though i believe had a complete sleep though sometimes i woke up and chills. I also have a tinglin sensation in my left hand finger.

What i'm afraid right now is that the first symptoms that i had were gone already and currently what i have is this burning sensation in my skin, tingling in my fingers, fatigue and sleepy all the time. Some rashes still popping up from time to time. Still have white coated tongue and a dandruff in my pubic area.

My question is what is the possibility that i'm infected with hiv with all those symptoms that i had/have?

Please assess my situation. I'm going crazy right now.


I'm planning to take the test in 13 weeks that's what the doctor said,

Thanks a lot and more power to you all

[LIZZIE LOU]

follow your doctor's advice and test at 3 months post exposure.

symptoms dont diagnose hiv...only a test can do that

[rchie]

Im not the expert here i just got over HIV anxiety recently and you may anxiety rather than hiv infection.
according to Teak and Lizzie: 3 months testing = conclusive result
according to the doctors forum: insertive penile vaginal intercourse = 1/1000 chance of being infected if your partner is HIV+.
Relax u got 0.001% chance of being infected but based from my experience for people suffering from hiv anxiety its always a YES or NO.
Pray and trust with God always. Follow his teachings and you will be saved.

[Healthadvisory]

Remember your anxiety can fuel symptoms. Next time use better judgement. A drunk night can cause future harm too you.

[anxiousguy123]

Do you think all my symptoms fits with ars? Also what about the burning sensation in my skin? I'm tryng to remember if  i was the one who remove the condom but the thing is i had these first symptoms that went away. Is it possible that ars will happen in 3 days time then gone after 2 days. Also my first rash is according to dermatologist is Pityriasis rosea not sure if this is ars rash. My fear is that it went away in the 5th week and leave a mark on my skin. The 2nd type of rash is a pimple like and itchy. Also I feel so sleepy all the time not sure if this is becuase of  my anxiety and feeling depress. But it's kind i want to sleep all the time. Also with rash on my palm though it's not bumpy you can see it inside my palm.

Right now my skin is so sensitive everytime i put my arms on a computer table there's a rash popping up.
I'm really scared that i'm having ars and currently on seroconvertion since the first symptoms went away.

Please help. I need some comfort and good insight from you expert.

Thanks a lot.

[rchie]

again im not an expert
but rashes come and go, you just don't notice them but if u r having anxiety youll notice every single change in your body.
Just get tested God Bless

[anxiousguy123]

in my case what's the possibility i'll get test negative? I went to the club and talked the girl and she said she has no HIV of course i'm not sure if she's telling the truth or not. I never asked her if she had a test already that's my mistake. I'm planning to ask her if she could get tested so that at least my mnid will set to ease in case she's negative. it's almost 3 weeks since I became like this i'm so afraid and depress. I hope that my result will be negative.

Our intercourse took about 15-20 mins including oral and i'm sure in the beginning i'm wearing a condom i feel it.

I'm really scared. Plus this burning sensation in my skin it's irritating i don't see any rash it's lke a sunburn without any redness or something. It's my shoulder and back and arms.

I think i'm going crazy . Please help me. I need some comfort.

Thanks  a lot.

[LIZZIE LOU]

THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW ONE'S STATUS IS BY TESTING.

[anxiousguy123]

Thanks Lizzie for the response.

I have a few questions though

If all the symptoms went away does it mean i'm aleady seroconverting?
Please give me some understanding about seroconversion.
What about the burning sensation in my skin without any rash? Is it ars symptom also?
Does Pityriasis rosea related to hiv rash?

Thanks a lot and more power.

[LIZZIE LOU]

STOP with the symptom searching.

the symptoms of ars are the same as many common, everyday illnesses.  if you will read the forum...you'll see that EVERYBODY has symptoms...even those who never had a risk

[anxiousguy123]

Thanks Again Lizzie

Sorry for keep asking is just that i'm really worried and need to know reliable information from you expert I don't want to go to surf the net just to find the answer.  I believe you guys are expert that's why i'm asking.

I'm just curious about the serconversion, if all the symptoms fades away does it mean i'm already seroconverting?

Would you why am i having a burning skin sensation like a sunburn in my back shoulder and other parts of the arms? is it also ars symptom? I hope you don't mind if I keep asking this i just want to know the answer from the expert.

I  know that you don't diagnose symptoms, I just want to know some brief knowldege about it. I don't want to search the net anymore that's why i'm asking you expert. It's really relieving when there's someone who  answers our questions.

I hope you don't mind if keep asking some questions.

Thanks a lot.

reread lizzie's last post..ars symptoms resembles common everyday illness..
you might have fever,sore throat,rash.lympphadenopathy etc resembling other common illness...
and the things you are describing sounds like anxiety related..
only way is to test..this forum cant help you further
if you started intercourse with a condom, i don see a reason that you will remove it and continue unprotected..even if you wanted to do that she would have said no..
dont worry i think you had protected sex and worrying for no reason..
now stop looking or obsessing with symptoms

[anxiousguy123]

Hi Kumar,

Thanks for the response it's really relieving.

That's  what i was thinking the thing is the sw told me that she saw the condom at the sofa and i was trying to remember if i did removed it and just dropped it there. What bothers me is that she said there's some fluid inside her and that's makes me crazy.Anyway I hope that i'm really protected the whole time.

Just one quick question though, If all the symptoms went away does it mean i'm seroconverting? Thanks.

[rchie]

obsessing with symptoms can trigger severe anxiety, anxiety can trigger stressed induced illness like for me i got gastritis and Gerd because of hiv anxiety.
just get tested

[kumar007]

in a person who has been infected the start of ars is the beginning of seroconversion..and when symptoms dissapear normally antibodies can be detected in the blood

but most likely you did not get hiv and dont have hiv so when symptoms dissapear,that means you got better from an illness..
so don woryy just test at 6-8 week post exposure,if negative most likely it will stay that way but just need to test again at 3 months..
no more to tell u

[anxiousguy123]

Is it possible that i can infect anyone just by means of kissing her? she has a sore in her lips and I just kissed her just a casual kiss only.

Currently she is ill she started with vomiting and has fever right now with a slight cough. Did I infect her in case i'm infected?

Thanks.

[kumar007]

no

[anxiousguy123]

Thanks Kumar.

So with all the symptoms and my story what are the chances i'll get negative result? I'm really scared to get the test.

Thanks.

[joggen]

I can hardly believe that one of you would not have noticed a broken condom. The fact that you can't remember details about the condom is good evidence that everything went routinely. It is extremely common for people's anxiety to make them second guess condom integrity and I suspect you have fallen prey to that.

In any case, the odds are overwhelmingly on your side for a negative result, even if the condom broke.

[anxiousguy123]

Thanks a lot joggen

But  i haven't said any broken condom.

,Another question, if all the symptoms wen away does it i'm producing antibodies cause the other day there's a white line in the boarder of my tongue and it's white right now it's fading away. I'm afraid that i'm creating an anti bodies. Does it mean i'm infected ?Please help.

[joggen]

Then your concern is...you took the condom off? And you think your partner would have let you do that? Not a chance.

[anxiousguy123]

No i have not took it off of course. What if she took it off or what if the condom has a hole and she just want to get me infected?

If in case i was using the condom till the end why am i having these symptoms? Currently i have a burning sensation in my skin it's like a sunburn could it be a zoster?

I know  you guys are expert that's why i'm asking you. Thanks that you;re here you really help us.
Thanks.

[Teak]

Now you are having irrational thinking. She wasn't out to infect you. See a doctor if you are concerned with your symptoms. If you had shingles you would know. The pain is horrible and the blisters break with fluid leakage.

[anxiousguy123]

Hi Teak,

Thanks for the response.

Sorry. but what if it's true that she just wants to infect her customers. I know it's irrational i'm just thinking of the possibilities.

I've read that it is possible to have a zoster without a rash do you have any experience here in the forum to have this kind of symptoms and tested negative?

Sorry if i keep bugging you guys. I just want to have clear answers with my situation I know we're so many for you to accommodate but you still do. Thanks a lot.
