for future reference...nPEP needs to be started within 72 hours...NOT 8 days.
no one here can diagnose what is causing your muscle pain, but my guess will be anxiety. yes, anxiety can cause very real physical symptoms.
if you are having health concerns, see a dr...its NOT hiv related.
Dear Teak/Nursegirl
As a respected senior moderators can you please let me know the cause of on and off muscle pain.
Since Nursegirl had assured me that i will not catch HIV by Oral sex, i was not worried about it until this muscle pain started along with sore throat.
I know still your answer will be same that i wont get HIV by oral sex. I just want to take your advice on what can be the reason for getting on and off muscle pain?
Its coming and going within few seconds
Can it be AFTER PEP side effect?
Please reply.
You received a blow job. Get over it. You're not going to catch HIV from a blow job. See a doctor if you have symptoms that concern you.
Hi
Since last 4 days i am observing on and off Muscle pain.
It is coming and going. Its not much painful but yes i can feel small pain sensation when it happens.
It lasts for few seconds at one place
It is happening on all joints, muscles and fingures of my hands and legs.
I never had this type of On and Off Muscle pain before.
Also having sore throat since today morning .
Can they be symptoms of Serocoversion?
Please reply because I NEVER HAD such muscle pain before.
You are very welcome...now get off the computer and start preparing to see your family!
THANKS A TON.
You cant imagine how much happy i am now by reading your reply.
You are like GOD for me today. I MEAN IT.
My life was HELL for last 2 1/2 months and I was SO MUCH SCARED by thinking about my son because of the stupid blowjob which i received from that prostitute.
Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks Thanks!!!
Just a last question i would like to ask - Do i need testing? Of course not. You don't test if you didn't have a risk.
Can i have unprotected sex with my wife who is coming here next week. Yes.
I am much worried because of my son as i dont want my wife to get infected by me and then situation where nobody will be there to take care of him. You have nothing to worry about.
Thanks for Prompt response
Medical is TOO POOR in this country.
The person gave me PEP was not even a doctor.
It was a pharmacist.
Hence to get any advice here is very very difficult and nobody is here to discuss who knows the subject properly.
But a words from professional like you who is in this field for several years have really gave me comfort after a long time of more than 2 months

THANKS A LOT
You have nothing to worry about and you certainly didn't need nPEP. If you DID have a real risk (unprotected sex) the nPEP was started far too late anyway, as it needs to be started within 72 hours of an exposure to be effective. It's a shame your doctor doesn't seem to be aware of that.
