My story
I'd just like to say my story, Im 18 living in Canada who has HIV I have not been officially diagnosed HIV positve but it's obvious to tell exactly 2 weeks after exposure I had all of ars symptoms I untill today around 10 weeks after exposure. I believe it was gods punishment for me it was my first ever sexual experience and it lead to me having HIV. The population is 250,000 I'm my city with only around 2000 pos people and I ended up with one of them who is a 17 year old girl, i believe it's my punishment for not Waiting untill marriage, so I would like to tell you all it's not worth the risk of getting HIV from a random wait untill ur marriEd or at least a monogomus relationship . Also please pray for me to still be able to live a good life. Thank you
Soyoung man I understand how you feel your on 17 but sex isn't supposed to be built around be scared its about love man don't worry I think u will be negative when u test , I bid u luck
Test--I bet you my house you will be negative.It is extremely difficult for a man to contract HIV from a woman than the other way around.
I have all those symptoms all the time thats just normal to all problems sounds like u may have depression stress. And god dont punish you. God gives you life with free will. Trust me i was just poked with a needle with some one used it with HIV and the chances are 0.003% of contraction. Im getting tested today anyway its been 6 months so I believe you maybe ok so dont stress enjoy ur life eat well take vitamins and live you young life and be more careful so you dont feel this way. you will never have peace in mind untill you test good luck
If you think the HIV meds can really help me then I will get a test at 3 months so I can be official diagnosed
3 months is the official guideline. And yes, I really DO believe you very well could not be infected. You don't even know her status. MOST people do not have HIV, even promiscous people.
Just get the test, like Lizzie perfectly put it...man up, and do it.

oh this post is ridiculous and there is no reason for it to continue.
you've been assessed...and testing is the only way to know your status.
if you're man enough to drop your pants and crawl on...you ought to be man enough to test.
until then...move along...there's nothing more to tell you

Is it 3 months or 6 months? So does it mean my reoccuring headaches could be from jaw clenching due to stress? Nurse do u really believe in the 1 in 1000 chance i honestly don't that Is why I know I'm infected
I've already gave you my opinion and my advice. It's far less likely that you're infected than it is you ARE. SO many symptoms can be attributed to anxiety, you'd be surprised.
A test at 3 months from time of exposure will be conclusive.

As for the HIV test I doubt I will take it unless my symptoms will make me not want to live anymore which they almost are but If I test before that maybe at 6 months although I already know the outcome :(
I think that the stress/anxiety cause me to clench my jaw while I sleep which cause headaches and jaw pain
I have a question for you I have been full of stress lately relating to HIV, but can anxiety/stress cause daily headaches?
Forgot to mention, you wouldn't have HIV related symptoms for 2 months. Strongly suggest you see your doctor to figure out what is going on, which would include an HIV test.
Seek some professional help. Your way of thinking is extremely messed up. You "gave HIV" to yourself by making the decision not to use protection. You have to assume every partner is infected, unless you are in a monogamus relationship and both testing. Even if they say they're not, they could be lying. You don't leave your health up to someone else. You have no sense of personal accountability.
The really sad thing is, you probably aren't infected at all. Your symptoms are not at all consistent with HIV. But, if you'd prefer to go on living as you are infected, go right ahead.
No point continuing this discussion, you refuse to listen to reason. Good luck.

My symtpoms are clearly not of any garden variety Infextion as if been having them for 2 months now, if the dumb *** told me she had HIV I would of never even done a thing with her, I'm not testing because I dont want people to search my file and have it say has HIV . I will not feel guilty at all if I give others HIV since someone gave it to me
You're not serious right? Is this a joke? The ONLY person you need to be blaming IF you are indeed infected (which I doubt) is yourself. NO ONE put a gun to your head and told you not to use a condom. YOU and only YOU are responsible for the decisions you make and the possible consequences that result. Would it be morally right for someone to not tell you they were infected? Of course not. Does that make her responsible if you are infected? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
You not getting tested is about the dumbest thing ever. One can NEVER make assumptions about their status, based on "symptoms". A study done in the US of thousands of people seeking help in the ER for what they thought were ARS symptoms yielded these results...99% of those people tested negative, and their "symptoms" were caused by some common, garden variety infection. You not getting tested is only going to do one thing most likely, keep you from finding out you're NOT infected. If you ARE infected, it will keep you from getting the proper medical care that will keep you healthy and alive. Lose-lose situation.
With all due respect.....and I say this to be very frank with you...I STRONGLY advise you to pull your head out of your hindquarters.

If you compare my symtpoms with HIV you will notice the similarity;
Chronic sinusitis leads to facial pressure/pain, nasal congestion, daily headaches,Tonsils enlarged, sore throat, white on tounge doesn't come of when touched, extremely fatigued, no concentration, jaw pain both sides, bones crack a lot, dizziness in sun, nausea feeling
Please tell me how does aren't related to HIV, also I neve had majority of these before

That is your prerogative. I hope you are responsible enough to use condoms in the future. No reason for you to put others at possible risk.
I don't know whether she has HIV or not but I do know she's had unprotected sex with more guys then just me along with her background from a 3rd world country I think maybe 2nd not sure. She's never been tested for HIV before and that she says she doesn't have which worries me more because she can't prove to me she doesn't have HIV and she also doesn't insist that she's needs a HIV test because she doesn't have it but how does she know. I know I'm infected the symtpoms I had and some still I'm having have ruined my daily life they stop me from doing many things, and many people have been infected from 1 exposure I honestly believe that 1 in 1000 chance is all bs just to give people hope
