Most Symptoms. I think i have HIV

[worriedgirl86]

hi... i seriously need help. all i do is search on the internet and cry everyday. Heres my story. Im a 19 year old girl who lives in the US. i had unprotected sex with a 25 year old male in april. which was a one night stand. Dont know his hiv status. while we had sex i was on my period which i heard will increase your chances. Around five days later i started to get the "cold/flu like symtoms". Lots of fatigue and shotness of breath. I had the swollen lymph noid underneath my neck and left arm pit. i had a fever but only for around two hours then went away. i never experienced the rash. I dont really believe i had a sore throat. 2 weeks later i was given antibiotics and everything went away. After a month i experienced the diarrhea and lost 8 pounds (from stress i believe) got GAD. It is now 2 1/2 months and i am experiencing burning in corners of mouth and diarrhea.I also feel like i have excess mucas in my mouth.I recently found tiny bumps on my left knee. I am away for a 2 weeks and wont get my results till then.

Any reassuring words? Harsh Advice?
I basically already came to the conclusion that i have it, im just really hoping for something. Anything to help me out right now. The anxiety is killing me....

In a few weeks when you are past your 3 month mark get tested. Let us know what happened. I bet its NEG.

ARS COMES AT 2-4 WEEKS AFTER INFECTION

I had the swollen lymph noid underneath my neck and left arm pit.

SWOLLEN LYMPH NODES DUE TO ARS ARE ALL OVER THE BODY

. i had a fever but only for around two hours then went away. i never experienced the rash

SYMPTOMS OF EARLY INFECTION LAST FOR  1-2 WEEKS

After a month i experienced the diarrhea and lost 8 pounds (from stress i believe) got GAD

NOT HIV RELATED

It is now 2 1/2 months and i am experiencing burning in corners of mouth and diarrhea.I also feel like i have excess mucas in my mouth.I recently found tiny bumps on my left knee.

NOTHING TO DO WITH EARLY INFECTION

First of all calm down. Stressing over this will only make things worse. Yes you did have a risk and you need to get tested at your 3 month mark. With from what you say is only a few weeks away. So you wont have to wait very long. And there is a very good chance he never even had HIV to begin with.
As for your symptoms I am not a Dr, but it sounds to me like you are having anxeity over HIV. Witch will cause a lot of the symptoms you are haveing.

Get tested when you are at your 3 month mark. Dont stress because more than likely it will be NEG. And learn from all of this from now on always use condoms.
