stress or HIV?
Hello,
I had unprotected sex with a person that I met in a party in Dec 4, 2007. A week later I got worried and started getting nausua. I went to get tested for HiV on December 7 I got a negative result. Nausea stop after a 3 day liquid diet giving by the dr. The person insures me she is clean and keeps in touch to see how am I doing. I had sex with her again in Jan 22, 2008. Again after a few days I got nausea. This time a week later I flew out of the country when I came back I had a cold with coughing, fever and night sweat from the fever and my glands in my throug started hurting. A few days later everuthing was gone but the nausea and cought. After a week i took Tums anti acid and the nausea was gone and cought i get it sometimes because i have like air coming up my throug. Dr. Gave me preacid thinking i have acid reflux. got tested on the 4th of March six weeks later of my last exposure and 3 months after the 1 st exposure. I got a Negative result. Its been 8 weeks and my stomach feels empty even after I eat and I have been constipated and my stomach is like war zone at night a little less during the day. In addition to these symptoms I dont know but my groin next to my testicles ian getting pains on And off. I am waiting for the three months to get tested again. My question is 6 weeks not good enought time to get tested? Also can this symptoms be cause by stress since my job is very hectic?

This is my 9th week after my last possible exposure. Like I explain before, I had an HIV test done at 6 week and it was negative.
My questions is as follow: My groin, neck and back of leg I am getting pain. Especially in the groin area, next to my testicles. Can this be my lymph nodes or muscles?, they are not swollen, at least they are not bulgen out, but I am getting pains on an off. Can they be affecting after 9 weeks?
I'll appreciate your comments.

Good you got tested to find your baseline status in case you put the other person at risk (assuming you never knew your status before the UPSI).
Symptoms or lack of symptoms are unreliable indicators of HIV infection (though ARS respiratory tract symptoms are not normally accompanied with blocked nose), you need to test at 3 months to find out your HIV status and use condoms.
Anyone sexually active should test for STIs including HIV annually.
Yes, stress can cause all sorts of symptoms. Do not worry about it but find out your status.
