I Fear I have HIV

[isthereanyhopeformw]

Where to start.

I had unprotected sex with a woman I did not know well. She told me she was clean, and I just believed her (stupid). We only had sex for about 2 minutes. Which is something that I hope is going to help me in the long run. She ultimately moved away and now I have no way to contact her.

Anyways this was back in early January. Since then things have been a wreck. Originally I did not think much about it. I went and got tested for STDs a week after and the results were negative for everything, and I just put it all in the back of my mind. After two weeks I got a sore in the roof of my mouth. I pop it and then it turned black. I also started to get a sore throat around this time. I was given antibiotics and it healed up. This would only be the beginning.

Around 4 weeks I started to get real bad tingling in my legs/feet and arms/hands. It was real bad. To the point I would wake up at night and have my hands feel completely numb. I also started to feel nauseated, fatigue, and shortness of breath. I was getting very scared. This is when I started to look up symptoms and to my horror saw HIV symptoms. I then tested myself again on the 4 week. It was again negative. My tingling got a lot better and soon I also started to feel better from my throat. I just had random nausea and diarrhea type stools. In my paranoid state I then went and got tested during the 5th week at a doctor's office. It came back negative. I then tested myself with Oraquick on the 6th week. It was also negative. During this time I started to eat a lot again and feel a lot better. This didn't last long though.

During the 7th week things changed. I started to get upper right abdomen discomfort. It wasn't really pain just felt strange. Around the liver area. Also I now have a sore throat again and have bumps on the back of my tongue. It also a bit white. Paranoid again I couldn't let this go, so I tested myself again with the finger prick test. It was negative.

I have tested negative for weeks: 2,4,5,6,7

Now I am on the 8th week. My upper abdomen is doing better. It just feels firm now. I went to a doctor and they ran a whole bunch of test on me. I will be getting the results on Tuesday. Also I will test again for HIV there on Tuesday if no problems are found with all the test.

My question is should I try and calm down considering how many times I have been negative? Should I get relief from that. Also if I do test on the 8th week and it is negative again should I believe that this is just really bad anxiety or all in my head? I was on an antibiotic for a little more than 3 weeks for the sore I got. I also I forgot to mention that I had frequent urination the very next day after sleeping with her, and that didn't go away till sometime during the 4th week. Could the antibiotic cause the present problems I'm seeing? Any information about this would greatly be appreciated. My doctor seemed pretty assured with all the testing I've done, but there is just so much doubt and so many random problems that have occurred to me these passed weeks.

I've been feeling a little better lately. Just having head pressure and some tightness on my left side. Other than that I feel okay. Still no rash or fever.

And also was negative on 8 (Elisa) weeks 1 day, and also 9 (Oraquick) weeks. I'm close to the finish line hopefully, but still very stress about everything.

I've seen it posted here that a negative results at 8/9 weeks is very close to being definitive. Either way I'm very close. I really hope this all goes away. I believe

12 or 13. US is the only place that uses 13 week.

Is that 12 or 13 weeks?

3 months post exposure is when you can obtain your conclusive negative test result.
