Hiv common symptoms !

[Goofyinlove]

Hi guys ,
I have a wuic quistion not related to an exposure !
Why every one thinks that he had an exposure start developing hiv symptoms even thou the test negative out of the window period !

Most of them develop fitage , lymph nods , night sweet , sore throat , and white tongue !!

Whats the common thing between all of them ?

Is it anxiety ?  
Do u think anxiet can case same symptoms in all of them even thou most of them didnt even think about hiv till they got these symptoms ?

Is there a different virus they got and duno about it thats why all of them experiance the same symptoms !?

Im just thinking loud and would like to hear ur opinion ..

Thanks

from the health pages here...

A lot of people have been writing questions about early symptoms of HIV infection. Many of these people do not seem to have any risk for HIV, but may be having some kind of anxiety related to an encounter with a sex worker (or as in the case of question one, a strip club). Most have tested negative for HIV and are beyond the window period. They report a wide array of symptoms, some of them are very severe. I think it is also significant that many of them appear to have been reading a lot about HIV since the incident which caused them to worry. Since these people are HIV negative, it seems logical to see a connection between their anxiety and their learning about HIV symptoms. Some of these correspondents report this connection after reflecting on it. For example, they develop diarrhea the day they read about that particular symptom.

The history of psychoanalysis is full of cases of people with severe physical symptoms which appear to have no organic cause (i.e. their labs are all negative), and which persist until some psychological movement is attained. Some people (called hypochondriacs) have this illness their whole life. They become obsessed with every symptom and continually shop for a doctor who will take their illnesses seriously. The saddest part about this pattern is that, for people who invest a great deal of their identity in being sick (and, as a result, sacrifice a lot of their relationships, time, and emotional energy), it can become very difficult to accept that they are not sick.

symptoms of HIV are not specific.If you are having symptoms then go and see a doctor.

Could be a lot of things. If you are concerned about your symptoms see your PCP.

So teak , whats ur opinion about all of them experiance the same symptoms even thou not hiv related !

Is it another virus that is not discovered yet ?  

[RainLover71]

If you had a risk then just take a test at the appropriate time.

Thanks teak for ur respond

[Teak]

HIV has no specific symptoms.

[Goofyinlove]

I know but all of them ? And after a possible exposure !
It doesnt make any sense to me !

All of them have same symptoms "hiv" symptoms
All of them test negative after the window period
And negative for other Std's

So the question is whats the common thing between all of them ?

We do not discuss symptoms or any anxiety symptoms here .. This forum is HIV Specific.
