Needle-stick injury.....Just finished a PEP treatment and waiting for the 6 weeks test in three days. Today I received a letter and a temporary worker's related-injury compensation ID. Did its mean they know I am positive since I did 3 weeks blood work? Can the occupational health service do a test without telling the employee? I was told that it’s was to just check my body response to the HIV PEP drugs. I did see a tingling in my fourth left hand finger ( 1 week) and some toes pain ( 2-3 days), no rash, no muscle pain but did lost my appetite and I am following an "Ensure" regiment. I look OK, but very scare and very anxious. NEED HELP!
so what if u have a swollen lymp node on one side of ur groin can that be a result of std or something else? and can will you have to take a blood test or can a pee test show if u have a std?

I wish somebody can help me. 4 weeks ago, I had unsafe sex. Then within the next 6 days, my penis released a yellowish pus. Prior to that, my arm pit got swollen. I went to see the doctor and he gave me some medication and it works - doctor said it may be gonorrhea. Besides my arm pit got swollen, I also got diarrhea...it stops after a few days. I am not sure if it is the medication or not that causes it. Now my mind is not peaceful. I intend to go for a blood test this week but it is only 4 weeks. I understand test will be more accurate if it is after 3 months. Whatever it is, my body now feeling very tired easily. It is as if my blood are all sucked up...No pain but restless kind of feeling. Can anyone tell me is it symptoms I got HIV or it is truly gonorrhea? My medication does help cure the gonorrhea but...I am still worried...
the only way to know one's status is by testing
so i shouldn't be worried that the lymph node was swollen by hiv infection also the rash that came with it
oops i meant to say "swollen lymph nodes are NOT conclusive of hiv" wow i need to get to some sleep.. sorry tommy and teak. a typo on my part.
Did you go test and get your conclusive test result? One lymph node swollen is in no way an indication of ARS.
you can but swollen lymph nodes are conclusive or hiv. neither is flu like symptoms. so many things can cause swollen lymph nodes and flu like symptoms. what was your risk?
