Aa
have to be positive
I am a university student that experienced a very high risk exposure recently. I had sex with a random girl after a club and we did some cocaine before engaging in sex. During foreplay this girl started bleeding profusely and immediately i thought it was because I was using my finger to hard. For some stupid reason i attempted to put on a condom and penetrate. However due to the effects of the cocaine i could not get an erection and my penis only went around the clitoris area and was never inside. Eventually after an hour I got an erection and we began having sex with a new condom that i used.
The next day i felt my penis itching me and two days after that i noticed tiny red spots on the head of my penis. I immediately thought this was an std and waited for a while to see what transpired. Eventually the spots disappeared and my penis began constantly flaking. I would wash it off and two hours later it was flaking again. I found myself taking several showers a day. I rdid research on the internet but could not match the symptoms with any common std's. The flaking stopped after a week. The skin on my penis head looks like it is dead and wrinkled.
EXACTLY 7 weeks later from the sexual encounter i came down with a fever that lasted for a week. I remember tryin to play soccer and i was so sick that i could not move. I've played through fevers before. My glands in my groin were throbbing and i experienced minor sweats at night. So mild that I would wake up and there would be a litte trail of sweat around my collar. The doctor gave me antibiotics but i didnt do much and after a month i stopped feeling tired. There is one minor lymphnode on my left groin about the size of a skittle which has stayed the same.
Since the encounter a year and a half ago I have experienced-
The first thing i noticed that was my saliva became more watery. Totally different to before
loose stools but no diahrroea
chicken pox
bumps on my inner thighs that seem like jock itch. One at a time
A rash that looks like tinea on my inner groin
Loss of facial fat
Loss of fat in thighs- My weight has stayed the same tho or even increased?
Loss of fat in the buttox
loss of back muscle-back is much more flat
Nausea for two months that only occured every time i drank alcohol, now it doesnt happen
pimples on my scalp that was recognized by my barber
I feel my tail bone when i sit down!
I feel dizzy when i lift weights or when i sprint, It feels like I am about to feint but i never do.
A very bad odor coming from my penis, which occurs intermittnetly
2 bouts of more severe night sweats
To this point I have not had a swollen lynph node however i have had swollen lymph glands in the neck that has been recognized by a doctor.
My questions....
1. Is it posible to have ARS symptoms after 7 weeks?
2. Some of these symptoms point to hiv but what esle can be causing it?
3. How can I lose so much fat on my thigh only after a year and a half of possible exposure? And how can my weight remain the same even tho this has been happening gradually for a year or so?
I am not anxious...these thighs are really happening and I know that symptoms are not an indicator but in this case there are too many. I know you would suggest gettingtested and that is the most obvious resolution but what are the chances that I have contracted this disease

GOT TESTED TODAY
FoolAldo, your sure wearing out your welcome as far as i'm concerned. I hope your next post is I GOT TESTED TODAY......
Stop fooling around and go get tested Aldo, c'mon man, it's getting tired.
You are going to be fine, but stop with the panic.
I would also suggest you learn risk/ exposure relating to hiv for future refrence.
Hang in there FoolAldo..

i have to reiterate that when i could not get an erection, i kept trying to put the condom back on and off again and may have turned it inside out. Therefore I may have been exposed to the blood when putting the condom back on
Your encounter caused you to be infected with anxiety, primarily. Teak is 100% right. Man up and go to a doctor to find out if anything else is wrong.
You do not have hiv, if what you described happening is what actually happened.

Go back to the doctor. What is going on with you has nothing to do with HIV with the situation you provided. You'll need to work with your doctor to find out what is wrong with you.
you all fail to realize that this encounter has caused me o be infected by some sort of disease, in which, i do hav similar symptoms to hiv......I will also higlight again thatwhile my penis could not enter the vagina the first few time it may have grazed the blood even tho i had a "loose condom" on. Why am i losing fat on my face back and thighs. Why did i get chicken pox 8 months later....is it not because of a weakened immune system.
It is only for his nerves that he should get tested, that why i suggested this, plus he has een sexually active without protection so it won't hurt for him to know his status, which will be hiv negative.
Where in his post do you see that he was at risk and needs to test? He had protected sex. He doesn't state that he had a condom failure. He doesn't need to test.
yup dear plz go and get tested its only the to ease your mind
i was also scared about hiv but now i am piece of mind
and i know that this 4 week test is not conclusive but it give me mental strength.
wish u all the best :)

You see FoolAldo, Harry04, tested...get tested man, get tested...there is no other way out of this, i know it's scarry, but it's a must. Your very likely hiv negative anyways, this was a low risk situation anyways my friend, stop stessin'.
No, i don't have hiv FoolAldo, but i'm also worried about an exposure developing into hiv. You can't diagnose yourself, trust me, i've tried. What you need is to test out, your not going to get anywhere like this. I tested negative twice for hiv (30 days/ 12 weeks). Get tested man, that's your only option.
chapeau thank you for the support....it really means alot to me....
...i have a question tho....are you infected....and if so...what were your symptoms.....thanks

Make it your new years resolution my friend. Maybe after X-mas/Chaunika-sorry for the spelling) get your test alright?
One sure thing about it, if you have HIV it isn't because of the situation you came here with.
not yet man....I'll do it after i see my family for the vacation..I can't face them if i have this disease...
Did you go get tested FoolAldo?
Stressin'.
I'll Bet your negative man.
My good friend does coke /alchohol and picks up women in bars all the time for over six years. I keep on this dude about it because he does'nt seem to practice safe sex, he's like a ladies man, women just throwing themselves @ him, doin' coke with him, ect.
He does'nt have hiv and you with your one time slip in judgement don't either FoolAldo. So just think about that for a minute bro'.
Also, no more coke right?
No more unprotected sex right?
Go get tested FoolAldo, you can do it man.
Don't ignore this kind of stuff, no your status and then maintain it.

You need to chin up my friend, test for hiv, are you going to go?
Whens the last time you had a physical?
Could be stress or something else man, stop stressin' until you know for sure.
Get tested and then go treat yourself to a massage (legit one/thai) and nice meal.
Go see a movie in order to take off the stress you feel.
Hang in there man, either way, you gotta know.
I hope i helped out some, i feel the same way you do man, but you have to test as well. Promise you will do so...
