HIV Acute Symptoms, How Serious are Mine?

[Qulmurad]

Dear Doctor!
Thanks for your valuable online service,

To inform you of my situation, on 31st of March 2010, I had a protected sex with a russian CSW in Tashkent/Uzbekistan who physically seemed healthy. Due to being extra careful, I quickly finished it withou deep peneteration and at the end I checked the condom which was not damaged. after the brief protected intercourse in a Suana Bath, I took a shower in the bathroom which seemed to have had a stopped up floor drain. Since several others (my firends and their CSW partners) had taken shower before me and my feet were into the floor water. however I didn't notice any blood in the water and I didn't have any wound or cut in my feet.

On 2nd April 2010, I visited a clinic for my stomack + also give blood for HIV Antibodi 1 and 2 test. My HIV test result came out negative. so I tought I am fine but when I surfed the websites, I found that two days after a possible exposure is too short. My stomach test showed I have a 4cm x 5cm duodenal ulcer. the doctor periscribed me Pariet (Rabeprazole soduim 20mg tablets), Metronedazole tablets, Ammoxcillin tablets and Actovegin injection.

after a couple of days for taking the aforemntioned medication and one week after the exposure to the above mentioned hiv risk, I experienced the following:
1- first a mild allergic type of body itching which still comes and goes, (if I take Avel (anti allergic tablet) during itching, it quickly subsides)
2-  Four days after itching started, I felt dizziness and dry mouth followed by a very weak fever mostly above the neck which still exist but it is not sensed by people I shak hand or kiss.
3- As the medication entered the sencond week, I strated to have a very dry mouth, lost taste, got foaming tongue and painless swelling of throat (don't know if the two bean size things at both side in the very begining of the throat are tonsils or anything else) and my mouth and  esophagus has become sensitive (I feel pain when drinking something hot).

Apart from the above mentioned I don't have any other symptoms but high level depression and anxiety which is obviously because of my fear from HIV.

I would appreciate it, if you assess my risk of a single exposure in my life time and if my mentioned symptoms are side affects of my medication or are they related to Acute HIV Infection or any other STDs?

Thanks in advance

"painless swallen tonssils" and "mild body itching" have nothing to do with HIV and you were not at risk for HIV. The answers here will never change regardless of what "symptoms" you present to the forum. My advice is to get off the Internet, stop reading up on on HIV, and get on with your life.

Dear All,
Sorry for bothering you a lot even after you guys assured me of my symptoms. As you can guess my situation by reading my first post, today is Day 24 of my post exposure of a single condom protected sex with a CSW. and my painless swallen tonssils and a mild body itching are existent. I have had the itching one week after the exposure and has already lasted for three weeks, which makes me think it is probablly the affect of my medication. but my swallen tonssils showed up two weeks after the exposure and is still the same (neither gets worse nor go away). apart from these two I don't have any other signs (no fever (it has been 36.5), no diharea, no night sweat, no appetite loss, no swelling of lymph glands, etc) the timing of the the two symptoms is killing me. you are knowledgible and know about Acute HIV Symptoms and have been kindly helping people. So please help me understand my situation. Thanks to you

You had protected sex so these symptoms can not be related to HIV.

Dear All!

Thanks for your shed lights. I would appreciate it you carefully go through my post (especially my symptoms part given the fact that I am also under medication and my doctors have said my situation is because of my stomack conditions and drug affects).

I thank you very very much for your didication to help people in need. Hope there were many of you in this world. May God bless you,

could be...but this is something you need to discuss with your doctor.  we cannot diagnose your health concerns.

kindly move on...you do not have a hiv concern.

Thanks for the answer.

I explained you that I feel sorethroat like swellen throat followed by mild fever and mild body rash.

Do you think they are the adverse/side affects of the drugs I am taking for stomache?

Thanks
