OMG, What I got myself into :(

I have had conscious prostate massage at parlor and was unconscious until few weeks ago that I had very bad exposure getting STD.

In the  middle of March (around March 11), I went to parlor and lady offered me a prostate massage after a regular massage which i foolishly accepted.. and at that point you don't think much from any other prospective. I didn't even care to see if she was clean or not, weather she had gloves on or not, weather she had cut ot not...However, I believe she had plastic (I don't think it was latex) gloves on and she was applying some sort of lotion on those gloves. I was are the receiving end and we had an encounter for about 10 minutes... It was total penetration of her two finger in my anus.. I wasn't able to see the whole scenario and I'm just trying to recollect all these to gether ...

Fast forward on May 1st, I saw cold sore on my lips with tingling effect, and my lips were totally dry and had tight sensations with some discoloration.

May 2nd, I have had diarrhea for one day. Because I started juicing on May 1st to eat healthy etc , I thought that these are due to the ingredients that we uses in healthy juices...

May 5th or 6th, wife had so many pimples on her face and we started talking and searching on net to see what could cause these , etc..

And it lighten me up that I may have had put myself and herself in trouble, however, I didn't had sex with her in two months so it was a relief sign.....

The story starts now, From May 5th and 6th forward, I saw following ARV (seroconversion) symptoms and feel like that I'll be one more +ve number on this earth.

Between May 5 to 24 or so in sequence....

> Night sweat for 2 consistent weeks. During this time i was constantly feeling dehydration (dry mouth excessive thirst) as in general i don't drink much water but during those week i drank about 6-7 32. oz water during day...but these symptoms are almost similar to someone with hiv conversion symptoms.. also would go to bad promptly but after 1 1/2 hour wake up to see that clothes are wet but no need to change it, then again 1 hr. later go to sleep and waking up after 1 1/2 hour with same situation... from last two weeks i only had an average of 3 hr. sleep per night.

> tight pain on my two legs specially below the knee area.

> I have had hot flashes during day for some time. those came and gone type of symptoms. Burning skin sensations, left side of Rib or rib cage tightness

> My entire body skin was burning and was getting pin and needle type of feeling, complete body burning. Because of this I have had several red dots (like someone put needle on my body to puncture) on my skin on my face and upper body.

> I have had so much pain underneath of my armpits and i felt that it was a sign of ARV. constantly checking lymph node go see if those are swallowing...

> Recently my body feels like i have low blood in my body and i'm taking iron supplements from last two day

> Tiredness all over the body and fatigue .. On one particular day, i almost felt sleep in my meeting with my boss.

> My food intake has been consciously increased even though with the loss of appetite just so that i can maintain my weight. but my face skin is loosing mass it seems.

> i have had blood taken on May 9th (most likely at 3 weeks) for 4th gen and it came back negative but I feel that it could be very false positive as i was getting all these symptoms during that time and when you are in window period (seroconversion) this could be false negative as I'm having hiv like symptoms even now.

> Till 26th, I feel so much tired, fatigues, loss of appetite and skin burns unless I apply cream at night..


Can all these symptoms be related to anxiety ? I understand mental issues but not sure about night sweats, too much pain in leg muscle, skin burning overall, it seems like my immunity has been decreased.... :(((

Update: I'm constantly getting sicker and I'm also having more symptoms such as green loose stool, feeling tired, skin rash, joint pain etc,tinnitus ...I went to doc. and he said if its hiv we'll treat you....

So it ultimately comes down to 3 month test....but I'm so fearful abot it... my 4 week test was negative but 4 weeks and 12 weeks are totally different story.

The risk was low risk and NOT no risk per him.

Hi there,

Your symptoms are not due to HIV because you were not exposed to it.  Your best bet is to consult with your doctor about your symptoms, which could be due to anything except than HIV.

Hi,
There is no risk of hiv transmission for this incident.
HIV can only be transmitted via unprotected vaginal or/and anal penetration, sharing IV works in drugs and from mother to child
Take care

Also, forget to mention that penetration was so deep and I was not sure if she (status unknown)was clean or not and weather she had gloves or not..
