Hey guys , its been 50 days now since the encounter . I went to the sexual clinic a few times the past weeks to get a test but they were just too busy to see everyone .
The escort I saw texted me to see if I wanted to see her again , she told me she got tested and send me the pics of her results . Her test was done on Feb 16 .
That was around 32-34 days AFTER our encounter and she was Negative for everything .
I know sometimes it takes 3 months for hiv to show on tests so Im worried if she might of caught something a couple days before meeting me . She openly does sex without condom for extra cash so Im not too sure what to expect .
I will try and get a test done today on Friday , her negative at 32-34 days after our encounter , good news or it doesnt really mean anything since too early??
Just doing an update - incase anyone with a similar situation as me , maybe this could help them out , kind of documenting my journey here ...
36 days have passed now , I feel OK , Anxiety has really messed me up , I had a minor sore throat .
Im going to get tested this week , Im pretty nervous actually . Usually I go to my sexual health clinic but theres always a big lineup and I usually wait 4-5 hours everytime I go there , maybe I'll just go to my family doctor this time.
What worried me recently was at the back of my head I got a few small bumps , I dont think it was swollen lymph nodes , it just looked like a bunch of small bumps around the same area , back of my head around the bottom of my hairline , the place is pretty sore , I touch the bumps and it hurts a bit , theres around 3 , this really worried me and Im not sure what is it .
I've also been touching my armpits the past few weeks looking for swollen lymph nodes ( I know this is bad and I try not to do it ) , its really hard to tell if I do have swollen lymph nodes under my armpits or not .
Im still pretty nervous with this HIV scare , about 2 more months until I can get a conclusive test result .
Would anyone know what these bumps could be ? is that some sign relating to hiv ?
I just wanted to update my post , maybe there are people out there who have a similar situation and this could benefit them.
Its been 28 days since my encounter , oh boy the day started off pretty bad , I woke up early and felt really hot , was kinda sweating .
Then I finally took a bath and brushed my teeth , for the first time in a week basically , I was misrible , stayed at home , never went out , didnt even shower thats how depressed I've been.
But Im worried because most of the day my Throat was bothering me , sore throat / strep throat , this has really freaked me out .
Its been 28 days now , Im really worried the symptoms could possible start coming on now .
HERE IS WHY IM CONCERNED :
I have not left my house in over a week , I have no stepped outside in over a week , I basically just stayed in my room .
I called the HIV hotline and they told me my risk was low and the problem Im having with my throat is because I caught the cold , or virus going around .... but how could that be ? I stayed at home for over a week and never stepped foot outside , how could I caught a cold or anything ?
Forgive me guys for all this , Im extremely worried and just need a place to write down my questions/thoughts , This place has really helped me
Thanks AnxiousNoMore ,
The past week has been brutal for me , I stayed home all week , never went out , did not shower or brush my teeth I hate to admit it , and just slept , stuffed my face with food and watched youtube videos, I've just been very depressed and in the slumps.
Couple days ago I actually started to do better where I finally accepted the fact I had a low risk encounter and could finally move forward ...... but unfortunately today my throat started to feel weird , sore throat , strep throat .
And it triggered my anxiety , I mean I stayed at Home over a week , I never stepped foot outside how would it be possible that I caught a cold or virus ? Today is been 27 days since my encounter and I dont know what to think .... I was doing better but now that I got this sore throat it really made me anxious , I know a sore throat doing say much on its own , Im just worried this is the start of something ... oh boy ..... sorry guys but Im just worried , I honestly couldnt talk to much before my throat started getting sore.
Thanks AnxiousNoMore , oh boy what a roallercoaster ride this is , well its been 24 days since my encounter , I keep calling the HIV hotline when I feel depressed and they said I can get tested at 6 weeks , so just 2 more weeks left and then again at 12 weeks.
I've been constantly feeling my armpits the past week looking for any bumps and I know Im doing more harm then good . My armpits felt a bit sensitive for a couple seconds that why I started feeling them .
I want to focus on other stuff in life but this HIV scare is always in the back of my mind , but I will try my best not to think about it and move on with my life.
I will definetly remember this pain Im going through now and try my best never to make anymore stupid sexual mistakes , all the anxiety for 15 mins of "fUn".... UGH
Thanks Randall40 , I really hope you are right . oh my my anxiety is killing me .
Past couple weeks have been brutal , I stayed home all day long and just thought about this . I' know its wrong but I've been feeling my lymph nodes on armpits and behind ear to see if any are swollen , I feel a slight bump on my left armpit , not sure if its just swollen because of me touching it .
Well its been 23 days since my encounter , I just got a weird tight feeling in my throat for a couple days but I think its just my anxiety causing my throat to tighten up , this lil bump under my left armpit is really worrying me right now ughh
Anxious is 100% correct. You had no risk at all your urethra was covered. Your anxiety is getting the best of you.. Although you had safe sex.
Anyone have any advice for my situation ? My throat is feeling weird right now and its just causing more anxiety .
I wore a condom for the whole sex ... but my fear is I had a raw skin mark on the shaft and Im worried if that was covered or not by the condom . It was a small burn mark maybe 1-3 days old , no blood , but raw exposed skin
Just hoping anyone would have any advice for me ............. Im just really concerned about the burn mark/ raw skin on my penis , not sure if that was covered and worried HIV might of gone through that burn mark
If I understand correctly, the head of your penis was protected by your latex condom whenever it was inside her vagina. The only way to get HIV form sex is unprotected vaginal or anal sex which you didn't have so you had ZERO risk. HIV didn't burn your penis and the condom protected it.
No one gets HIV from kissing or all of America would have caught it by now.
Therefore testing will be a waste of your time and there is nothing left to think about except enjoying your life again.
