HIV SYMPTOMS?

[ashash16]

I had unprotected  oral (i have cuts in mouth due to braces) and vaginal sex, he is my boyfriend for 3 years now, he only had sex with two virgin female, that includes me. 8 months ago, i had red rashes and i have sore throat that time, not severe to point that I don’t know i have sore throat, i went to our school clinic and the doctor said, it’s possible symptoms of RHD (rheumatic heart disease) I don’t have fever that time by the way, i ignore the doctor, because the rashes gone after 2days Last tuesday (march 17, 2018) i noticed that i have sore throat again, until now, and my neck aches. I still don’t have fever as of the moment, but i’m scared if i have HIV, i asked him if he had sex with other girls during our relationship, and he said no, I believed in him because he’s not that kind of man, and he came from good family. he only had sex before with his ex, but she’s HIV negative for sure. My rashes are on and off, as well as my sore throat. Any advices? I had my blood tested last january for school purposes and WBC is normal and all others. I experience headache right now :(


Do i need to worry about HIV?

My rashes are, circle red and others are like a ring, i have them on elbows, palms, sole of the feet, somtimes in legs and they’re on and off, is this a sign?

I don’t have fever, while experiencing sore throat and rashes? There’s still a risk?

Do i need to have fever with these symptoms for me to worry about hiv?

They said that 97% of hiv experienced fever, with these symptoms, is that true? What if I don’t have fever?

He’s the first time i had sex with, i’m his second but her ex doesn’t have hiv, is there a high risk?

I think i have sore throat for 10 months now, what would i do?

There’s a possibility that is because of RHD and not of hiv?



Thank you so much, i’m so worried right now to the point thay I can’t function well :(

You can not get HIV from picking up a needle.  People get HIV from having unprotected vaginal or anal se or sharing IV drug needles.  Air inactivates the virus so anything on the surface of a needle would be inactive in the OFF chance it ever had HIV on it.  You are very much reaching for something to be anxious about.  Talk to your doctor about your increasing anxiety.

You need to get help for anxiety.  I really say that with compassion.

Just having sex with your boyfriend and then having a sore throat and rash does not mean you have HIV symptoms.  Sore throats and rashes are common.  Every one gets them.  

You are in a relationship with a person who has had limited sexual experience based on your other post.  Your fear is falling into anxious fear.  Go to the doctor for your sore throat, you don't have HIV. Sure, test if you want as you are having unprotected sex but the only way to get HIV is if the other person HAS HIV.  And being in a monogamous  relationship with someone who doesn't frequent sex workers means it's not a risky relationship.  Speak to your doctor about anxiety.

But what if someone pricked a needle on me with HIV+ blood :-( without me knowing :-( i’m so depressed and I want to give up in all aspects of life :-( thank you for your response ☹️ How many percent possibility that i have hiv? :-(

Since you are in a discrete relationship and both of you do not have multiple partners, your risk is negligibly small. Sexually active individuals, involved with multiple partners are always at a relatively higher risk.

Symptoms are confusing and misleading most of the time because similar symptoms can be experienced due to other common infections as well. So do not give a serious thought to those symptoms.

If both of you did not have any other partner in past 3 months, it is suggested you to get tested any time now, only to positively rule out a probability that itself is negligible, but a test result will give you an ultimate peace of mind.
