Mono symptoms gone, going next week
I feel better today, no more sore throat but I do still have what looks like thick white cottage cheese plastered all over my tonsils. I am trying to prevent my brain from telling me its oral thrush.
I realized there is a public health 8 blocks from my home! This works out perfectly because I posted yesterday that I was banned from the county health STD dept from any further HIV tests until Sept. I am going to get my 4 week at the city health dept. I figure if I was misdiagnosed with mono and it was truly ARS, then no doubt I will test positive by next week as I have been sick 2 weeks. Dr HHH says most people who truly do have ARS will test positive a week after symptoms start.
I am really scared.

They provide free tests at the clinic I went to and they straight up told me not to come back until sept that I am low risk. Maybe they think its wasting tax payer dollars.
Oh well.
On monday I am going to a city clinic anyway. And it will be free.

" I was banned from the county health STD dept from any further HIV tests until Sept" < ---This is illegal unless its a private clinic, they denied my test, I called manager and complained to Better Business Bureau, and they had to apologize and privde a free test with all the accomodations. :)
just make sure sex or exchange of bodily fluids/needles is not how you celebrate.
When I find out I am negative the way I am celebrating is just staying home and watching a good movie and relaxing, because I havent been able to relax and enjoy anything for weeks.

I'm actually celebrating by taking my private pilot's license checkride this weekend. Look out everyone...there's a new HIV- pilot in the skies soon (hopefully). This 12 weeks took a serious toll on my flying....
I'm all over the place. A doppelganger, if you will.
I just think people are fooling themselves with this godtalk. They will test negative and then say that god listened to their prayers or some stupid sh!t like that.
Anyways, BJs...I need to celebrate somehow. Did you see that link of the tranny hooker with the Avs jersey in Denver (with HIV)? I live a couple of blocks where he/she was picked up...

Oral thrush is a condition in which the fungus Candida albicans grows out of control. Like most healthy people, you probably have small amounts of the fungus in your mouth and digestive tract and on your skin. You can't see the fungus and normally won't know it's there — it usually doesn't cause problems because normal bacteria (flora) in your body keep its growth in check. But when this balance is disturbed — by medications or illness — Candida can grow out of control, leading to problems such as diaper rash and vaginal yeast infections as well as oral thrush.
Oral thrush causes creamy white lesions, usually on your tongue or inner cheeks. The lesions can be painful and may bleed slightly when you scrape them or brush your teeth. Sometimes oral thrush may spread to the roof of your mouth, your gums, tonsils or the back of your throat.
Although oral thrush can affect anyone, it occurs most often in babies and toddlers, older adults, and people whose immune systems have been compromised by illness or medications. Oral thrush is a minor problem for healthy children and adults, but for those with weakened immune systems, symptoms of oral thrush may be more severe, widespread and difficult to control.

That being said, believe in religion all you want; I could care less.
God ain't gonna save you from HIV, though...(or from taxes or the runs)

What made you think that?
We've made roughly 4,556,000,000 revolutions around the sun. We are on our own. If you want to call something 'god' call it the path of random events and evolutionary processes that have landed us to this particular day. Why some people believe some book that was written some years ago by some random people is beyond me...
Ghandi had a good quote:
I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ.
(I'm in agreeance...but about all religions)

Oh ya, it's quite obvious that religion is just for people that have not accepted death as the end. That's it.
Sorry, god won't help you.
But this is still a good wake up call. Just be careful and evaluate yourself day to day...

Thanks, bluebell. I'd bet my car (at this point, the most valuable physical thing I have) you're gonna be fine. Remember, think happy thoughts.
I hope I am fine. I am just praying God is giving me a second chance at life and maybe this was a wakeup call to get my act together.
Big: you are one crazy guy lol

Congrats by the way on your negative!
If I am negative when I go on Monday, I am not doing ANY type of sex, not oral even though Clinton said its not really sex. I am going to be completely celibate until marriage. And I will make the man I marry take every STD/HIV test on earth. Then, i'll really let loose.

our honeymoon is going to be SWEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know rationally its not oral thrush, my mind keeps telling me crazy things right now.
I still dont know if I have herpes. This is the LAST and FINAL time I ever have any sexual tests done at a regular dr. It has been over a week and the herpes test is "still processing." What kind of baloney is that? If i had done a blood test for herpes at the county public health i bet i would have known asap. But now I cant go back to the public health for a month.
I think I will go on Monday to the city public health for my 4 week HIV test. If it is negative, I have decided to moveon with my life and accept the result as conclusive. I dont care what the CDC says. I believe Dr HHH and he says most people who are truly positive get a positive test result at 4 weeks. I have always been a part of the majority my whole life in everything, I'm not the sore thumb, so I am confident I will be conclusive at 4 weeks.

I was going to respond with "I'll have unprotected sex with you if it makes you feel any better...cause it will make me feel better"...but then I remembered the last 12 weeks I went through. But I'm open to oral...
would it sow up in the form of extreme dry mouth a little less than 3wks after sex?
