What should i do?....

[Tony728]

Hi friends of the forum:
           I know I said I was going to be gone for awhile but i have no else to speak to...tomorrow will be my 8TH WEEK possible post exposure, tested 7TH WEEK NEG-RAPID BLOOD TEST, and i do see my Doctor tomorrow to see if all my symptoms are hiv ARS  or hiv anxiety/stress related..should I just stick to the plan and test at 12th weeks or should I test tomorrow and wait for the results. For the last 10 days i've developed sweaty armpits w/slight pain, stiff neck, possible lymph nodes are swelling now, headaches, and possible cold sores forming, w/slight nausea this morning. Each week when I developed a symptom i went right away and got tested for HIV and all stds, all neg when i got the muscle aches, 2 night sweats, sensitive skin/burning feeling,nauseau, joint pain, sweating and hugh pimples on back & buttucks-i haven't got a thefever or rash yet, the highest twas 98.8-9. What should I do??? Thank you all for opinions and thoughts, i'm also in the anxiety community and they said i should address my new concerns here. Please bear w/me as I have no one else to talk to.

ars usually happens 2-4 weeks after exposure.

I have been coupghing like cracy (and stuff comes out), and I can feel that I pull/use/ and hurt my lower back when I try to cough. Perhaps from that?

Also, no way that the symptoms from HIV would continue that long for you Tony. They usually go away within weeks.

Joint pain can be from anything, I probably wouldnt even try to connect it to HIV. Stress/anxiety can cause lots of muscle and joint pain. Everytime I start to get anxious over anything my muscles ache.

my joint pain is pretty much gone,..but when i did have it it was knees & wrists..today i have neck stiffness-left side of neck is tender, i just checked tem, no fever, no rashes as of yet, and the headaches suck. no diarehear as of yet.  cold sores are developing too, one on left side of cheek and one inside lower lip. i wish i were seeing my doctor today,...this my 8th week post possible exposure, new week, new symptoms...itchy throat too for a couple of weeks. i thought once you get ars or during  or after ars you will test pos..who knows...

Where is your joint pain? because i have it, I think, in my lower back and hyp area. I do not know this typical in HIV infections, but I cam curious. Any body knows joint pain usually occurs in a particular area?

Don't worry I am going through the same thing. You're negative 7 week is unlikely to change, but get another test at 12 weeks.
