how can the mind produce a low grade fever and chills?
I appreciate your empathy reguarding my situation. Apparently, Teak lost his compassion for people who worry about what they believe is exposure, whether it is or it isn't. It's frightening out there especially for those who are ignorant. I have become much more informed thanks to all of you. I know I have tried everyone's patience, but out of worry, nothing else. my other account name "wonka74" was banned by medhelp. I truely belive that they should be a little bit more sympathetic towards people.

thanks for the info- i hope you're right.. i plan to retest in about 2-3 weeks which will be 5-6 weeks post exposure.. i'm keeping my fingers crossed.
one word ANXEITY
Sweating
Sweating is a normal bodily reaction and is designed to reduce the body temperature. As the body heats up sweat is released onto it through sweat glands. As the sweat evaporates it takes heat with it, cooling the body. During periods of anxiety the body is preparing itself for either flight or fight and releases sweat to cool the impending exertions. As the anxiety subsides sweat levels return to normal.
Shaking or shivering (Visibly or internally)
We all shake or shiver when we are nervous or cold. Shaking is a normal reaction to fear and/or a drop in body temperature. Shaking occurs when the muscles spasmodically contract creating friction between muscles and other body tissues. This friction creates heat which raises body temperature. During anxiety it is quite normal to experience shaking or shivering. It will pass.

i hear ya but i have a hard time believing that.. my temo is always under 98 ait it has been rising into the mid 99's and i've been getting the chills. I finnally got my appetite back after several days of not being able to eat. i attribute that to worry and stress, but the fever has sbeen driving me crazy. i tested - three weeks after exposure, but i realize that 3 weeks is still to early.
well when you are worried your mind makes you go crazy man it really happened to me literally
you will notice things you never paid any mind to you will imagine things happening and it really feels like it is but it isnt
trust me man this has nothing to do with hiv
