- No one here can diagnose your symptoms.
- I have been monitoring this thread for some time and it has gone NOWHERE. Based on what you've reported, and you've been told multiple times, you've had NO RISK. You will NOT get a different answer regardless of how many times or people you ask. It seems like an exercise in futility to make you accept the truth.
- HIV can and should NEVER be diagnosed by the PRESENCE or ABSENCE of ANY SYMPTOMS. If you have persistent symptoms which concern you, please see your Dr.
- If you feel a pressing nedd to be tested for HIV, you have that right at any time.
-You've asked your questions and have been givin an assessment( repeatedly). Please discontinue this thread and move on with your life.

-Regards-

Symptoms are not going to tell you anything and if you had HIV for 7 years it means nothing interms of feeling ill.

I know i need help. I think a test woul be best. When i was younger i smoked alot of cannabis and I had a very bad mental episode. The thing that worries me the most is the fact I have a girlfriend who i love dearly, If for some reason i did have HIV it scares me so much. I really think the time you dedicate to other people is amazing.

Just one more q if i had it for seven years would i feel rellay ill and what would the symptons be?

Oh...and if it would ease your mind....just get a test plain and simple...not that you need one for this situation.  It has been 7 years though...and it is time to move on!

It is no risk because it wasn't INSERTIVE sex.  Insertive sex is where transmission occurs.  HIV is a very fragile virus and cannot stay active outside of its host to cause infection.  It is normal in mutual masturbation situations to expect an exchange of genital secretions.  They will not cause infection.

It sounds like it is time to seek some professional help, as this concern is becoming unhealthy for you.  Quit searching the web for one..there is a LOT of inaccurate and scary info out there.  All you are doing is fueling your anxiety.

I really apreciate your quick answer. Why are my lymph nodes not sweeling up when am ill and why do i get ill so often? I have been ill 6 times this year. Is it normal to convince yourself you have hiv? What got me worried was some idiot sent me an email saying "I am sorry but you will die of aids in 2010 enjoy your last two years".
