Update; the guy did indeed tested negative on the walgreens hiv test. I just hope he not in the window period
From what you say Its unlikely you had unprotected sex, as you tend you know what it feels like and he would certainly know.
Even if you did dip, the chances of getting HIV from it, is very remote. To say all your nodes are up, well you will always feel them, if they are then visit your doctor and see what he says, I bet you he will not be concerned.
Personally I think your over reacting but if your concerned enough, ie that really think you did, then test at 6 weeks for a good indication of your status and then 12 weeks for conclusive results
Also chances of hiv through one time exposure are very less...and in any case ARS symptoms dont occus so early..i can say this for sure..
For your peace of mind ,you can get your friend tested..but that would be actually meaningless..because he may show negative (but may be in the window period)..But yes his negative results for now would give you a great peace of mind..
Go for a 4th generation test post 4 weeks exposure...and u will be all fine with ur life(negative results)....Relax ,you wont have hiv..
Its all anxiety that is taking the toll of your mind..Trust me you wont have HIV
I need serious help, today is day 7 from exposure and I have swollen lymph nodes everywhere armpit, groin, below ear lope all on the right side of my body. I haven spoken to the guy and he still state that sex did not occur that night and is willing to take a walgreens hiv test.
Expert do this sound like ARS?
No fever( a little warm but no actually fever)
No sore thort despite smoking about 3 packs of cigarettes
Dr, HHH started in a old post that swollen lymph nodes are never the only symptom of ARS. Please respond experts
Sure you can but it would not be related to HIV.
And the Dr's forums have not been given a time table for reopening.
PEP is normally reserved for someone who had a known risk...unprotected sex with someone confirmed to be HIV+
Hi Vance can you please elaborate on why you don't think I need pep? Please I just at a totally lost and really don't know what to do
Thanks Liz...... I was denied PEP should I go to another hospital and attempt to get them again?
doesn't sound like penetration occurred…the guy also backs that up…BUT…we were not there to witness (thank goodness)
