Why do I feel that It's HIV - Runny / Stuffy Nose / Ear Pain

[MrLund]

For last 3 days my symptoms are getting worse, it all started with ear pain, then stuffy nose, than runny nose, than headaches, then pain in the rib cage  on both side, then pain on the kidneys on the right hand side, and know the watery eyes, when I blow my nose.

Usually, I get better in 3 days or so, this is over 3 days. It seems like immune system is losing the battle...

I am just concern, how can I tell my family members, how do I tell them ?

Your symptons do not point to a STD. If you read in the Dr's section and the HIV community you will see that you do not have HIV. And please listen to AJ because the advice is right on point. But for your own piece of mind you should get tested and possibly see a therapist because it seems like you have a negative view of yourself. Think positive, act positive.

No, you are absolutely correct, I am under the care of doctor, I let him know everything, but still there is so much he can do.

Look, here is the thing, back of mind i know that I was invovled in a low risk and that only 1 in million get infected the way I did.

But, with symptoms and my bad luck, I just feel its me.

I mean who gets allergies and fever for over 1 week know, it should go down...

+ the CBC report and everything is not normal. It just concerns me alot.

I know I am making you mad and there is so much you can do, but your advice gives me hope.

sorry for the inconvenience, sometimes I may ask dum questions. .

Thanks

Oh and sorry - sore throats are part of hay fever.

[auntiejessi]

Seriously?  How many different ways can I say you need to see your doctor?

No, its not an std, but if you have symptoms, you need to see your doctor.

I know I sound mean, but I can only say the same thing so many times.

Hey, auntiejessi, I been having throat pain since Friday, and it's still there, is this something I should worry about ? Every time I swallow, I'll feel the pain.

Thanks

Herpes doesn't typically occur in the throat, especially when its not a new infection.

You just really need to see your doctor.
