22 may - I think I fell sick with headache and fever
------------------------------
8 July (day1)- I went to find a sex worker and we had protected sex  (condom) . she blew me with condom on. bathe together and she touched my Penis.

30 July (day 22) - Doctor diagnosed me with chicken pox.
took 2 weeks to full recovery

September 5 to now  ( still ongoing)- down with headache ,fever, joint sore, runny nose and sore throat. working in a dusty environment. didn't work for 4 days and were resting but still sick

1. You CANT get Hiv from recieving oral

2. You CANT get Hiv from kissing/spitting/saliva

3. If you HAD protected vaginal sex you CANT get Hiv

[Simno111]

You're find in regards to Hiv

You cant get hiv with what you did

Youre fine

[chaosknight]

But I am really scared because I didn't get sick so often before . and I read from another post hiv infections happens during day 12 to 42 and which fit into the criteria that chicken pox have rashes headaches and fever. or am I just worrying too much

It's a very well known fact that chicken pox in an adult is far more severe (and deadly) than in a child. So obviously you're going to feel like crap if you get it as an adult.

And since you had ZERO risk at all of HIV from what you've described then nothing that you're experiencing has anything at all to do with HIV. You had no risk of HIV and therefore there is nothing more to add here.

thanks but I am 17 and I have vaccine for chicken pox before

[Chima7]

So? Vaccines are fine but they don't always work every time. I got the mumps vaccine when I was a kid and still got the mumps in 6th grade.

Regardless. The FACT remains that you still had NO RISK and therefore your symptoms, which are the most common symptoms of chicken pox, have absolutely nothing to do with it. You do not have HIV because you were never exposed to HIV. You have the chicken pox and are having chicken pox symptoms, period end of story.

I am still sick from the flu and fever ****.  I just couldn't get well. was prescribed paracetamol and antibiotics. which I rested and ate all of them for 5 days but I am still having a high temperature of 39degress Celsius  (not kelvin) . what should I do my meds for antibiotics are done but I still have some paracetamol at home.

As told by Chima, your sickness is due to chicken pox and NOT HIV. You CANNOT suffer from something you dont have. Continue to work with your doctor if you're still sick. I believe there nothing more to add. Be well.

sorry sorry but a last question . I work in a dusty environment (starting September 5), could that be the cause of me falling sick ? or is there any link like from chicken pox lowering my immune system causing me to fall sick easily ?

Hi there -

If you have questions about chicken pox, you should ask them here - http://www.medhelp.org/forums/Infectious-Diseases/show/338

As you've been told, you had no risk for HIV, and chicken pox is something entirely different. Since your HIV questions have been answered, we are closing this thread.

We hope you feel better soon.
