showing HIV symptoms

[scaredguy309]

I used to come to this forum many months ago, cuz i thought i caught HIV due to the symptoms i was having, i now know they were due to herpes and not hiv. Now with the dumbest luk in the world am back scared as ever. The prob is i recently had a condom failure with a girl and since then i've been getting the very same symptoms, except fever. Soar throat, muscle and joint pains, headaches, neck pain and one gland in my neck swollen for a couple days. i also got a diahorrea for one day but it may or may not be connected to this. Here's the thing, the girl also has herpes but due to the fact that i already have antibodies for it i shouldn't be gettin those symptoms which have been going on for 2 weeks now. So its not herpes, then what cud it be!!! Am really afraid. What else cud cause those symptoms?

Look i will obviously take the test but you have to understand that i have an excrusiatingly long wait and so until then i need to find out my chances.

OK, if you are dead set on hiving HIV then go ahead and believe it. Im not gonna say anything else other than that your symtoms are caused by so many other things and its pretty easy to catch the flu or anything else shortly after having sex. For example, I sleep with a woman that has mono and 2 weeks later I get symptoms, do i have HIV? Nope but i probably have mono.

Go get tested at 6 weeks anyway and again after 12 weeks.

Look its definitely an STD cuz my symptoms started right after the incident. And not many STD's have these sympyoms. Herpes, Hepatitis, HTLV and syphilis i think. The thing is she got tested for those the same month she stopped seing the cheating guy she was with. So it only leaves HIV i think

I dont know. How about some of the same ailments that caused those symptoms way before HIV was ever around?
