Aa
please help im going crazy feeling terrible
as a follow up to a previous post where I stated my symptoms from start to finish, I didn't mention the rash inside my elbow which according to webmd is almost always HIV, including ongoing swollen lymph nodes under armpits. My partner has been ill for the past fortnight with a sore throat and a swollen lymph node in neck, two weeks after I feared I contracted the virus she also came down with swollen lymph nodes in groin and a vaginal discharge, now she has got a pain behind her left eye and can't get over her cold of the last 2 weeks. She is talking about going to the doctor to get antibiotics and I am scared that they are going to discover we are both HIV positive, I feel like my life is very nearly over now, I feel like I am about to lose everything, we have 2 young children
Your problem is guilt, not HIV.
It doesn't matter if you have textbook HIV symptoms (which you don't), you did not have a risk, therefore can NOT have HIV. That would be like a virgin worrying about being pregnant.
I strongly urge you to seek professional help, you are spiraling out of control. There is NO more we can do for you, we've told you countless times you had ZERO risk. If you cannot accept that, get some help. This is an HIV forum, and you don't have an HIV concern. Please move on. You are starting to excessively post, which is against forum rules.

Doesn't matter if you have a thermometer or not, you would know a fever as high as you get with ARS.
Yes they would come on basically at once. And if you get symptoms you get a high fever.

I promise this is it now, so diarrhea,rash,swollen glands etc would all hit at exactly the same,time? I don't have a thermometer
How do you not understand what a fever is? I already said ARS if one gets them comes on at 2-4 weeks. is 10 days 2 weeks? No it is not. And it is not a progression of symptoms, they basically hit all at once.
If you can't accept this then test. Nothing else we can do for you here.

I don't understand what a fever is. Do you think the symptoms are not indicative and is 10 days too early, I lost my appetite completely and so did she, we both had gut churning diarrhea. Are you a doctor Vance? do you think I don't need to test? Would you test if you had all these symptoms despite the exposure risks associated with oral?
If symptoms start they start at 2-4 weeks. And your fever would be high enough where you would remember.
Mine were swollen in armpits and neck, I got tested for mono and was negative. The doctor felt less than a week later and they were gone, been up intermittently since but very small in arms etc. Please bear with me Vance, do you mean regardless of exposure that the symptoms are not indicative? I can't remember if my temperature was high, I was laid out in bed for a whole week with flu like symptoms exactly 10 days after the event, is this too soon, the diarrhea started 4 days post exposure and the nodes under my arms started stinging 5 days post exposure and rose at 10 days, has anyone else ever written in with all of these symptoms?
I can't give you a percentage or anything like that.
Symptoms that you get with ARS is a high fever which is over 101. If your nodes swell they are big enough where you would be at the Dr the next day, and all of them swell. Her symptoms are not related, your symptoms are not related.

Don't all these symptoms sound exactly like what you would expect, I have never done anything that should put me at risk in theory but we have both had every single symptom in the perfect time frame, say in theory please just to placate me, if o had caught it through oral sex, what would be the odds of me passing it on to my partner within 2 weeks, bearing in mind the viral load etc, what are the actual odds of passing it on to my partner in two acts of vaginal intercourse with no ejaculation, I can't think straight I'm not tryin to be annoying please what are the odds
Not sure what your looking for. You have been told you had no risk. You have been told that if you need reassurance then test. Whatelse can we say?
The day after my exposure I felt a popping sensation in my mouth, could the virus survive long enough in my mouth to get past the mucous membranes, please help me I feel like every piece of the jigsaw is in place and I must have HIV from my oral exposure, every single symptom in both of us is everything I have ever read about HIV, please don't dismiss me I can hardly breathe
