Symptoms
Hi,
I am male, 23 years old and I had unprotected sex and i did the folowing tests:
- 16 days post exposure: RNA PCR and ELISA
- 30 days post exposure: RNA PCR, ELISA and WESTERN BLOT
- 80 days post exposure: ELISA and WESTERN BLOT
All my results are negative. With 75 days post exposure I had symptoms like high fever and severe diarrhea for 2 days. Also the night after my fever has gone, I had sweats for the whole night.
Also i have thyroid problems, i take syntroid every day since i was 8 years old.
I'm worried if i need to re-test, are my results conclusive, is possible that those symptoms are refered to the accute infection of HIV. Can my thyroid problem affect my window period?
Thanks,
David
I keep getting brown discharge in my underwear. I am not about to get my period nor has it recently ended. Could this be a symptom of any STI?
Good Afternoon,
Just yesterday i was made aware that i might have been exposed to the HIV virus on April 28.
Also they said something about not being a transmitter and only a carrier (witch i think is bull).
Also i know that its criminal not to tell someone or withhold that information..
First question, is there 100% chance that I have contracted the virus if I was exposed?
I have been ultra stressed out and have gone to a clinic, they sent me to the hospital, then the hospital sent me back to another clinic, then that clinic said that they would have to get me an appointment for the end of the month..
I feel like its not being taken as seriously as it could be, I feel like crap i think its mostly stress but still can not sleep I feel like can't eat anything, Im noticing every little rash or bump, I can't concentrate on anything and my life feels like its in shambles...
Hope someone can offer some sort of answer here..
2 months ago.. (Roughly) I had unprotected sex with a Male of unknown status.. I was intoxicated and wasn't thinking straight. Bad mistake.
1 to 2 weeks after that I started having vaginal itching, to which I used and over the counter yeast infection kit ( 3 day treatment) It didn't do anything so I then asked for the 1 day treatment from my pharmacist. And I still have the itch, But No discharge!! I also have bad body aches and feeling tired. 3 weeks after this encounter i had really sore hands and feet. and had a bad sinus infection. I don't have a rash and Never had any fever except for a mild fever when I had my little sinus infection.
Basically I know that I have to get tested, and I will. But to your knowledge, is what I have said any indication of "ARS"? Specifically the vaginal itch?
I have been stressing and very anxious about getting tested, And I am already prone to anxiety attacks and a general all the time feeling of anxiety. Could my body aches be due to my anxiety? I am so scared and feel so alone, The last time I asked for an HIV test from my doctor I felt very judged, I feel so uncomfortable at the thought of asking him again... I have a 2 year old little girl to think about and my head is always in the clouds because I am constantly thinking of this.. the anxiety over this makes me feel dizzy at times also or is that a symptom of "ARS"?? scared to death...
I am a male (21 yrs old) from a small town in Maharashtra state in India..
I had unprotected sex with female sex worker before 4 months... 2 weeks after sex I started suffering from weakness, leg pains..
After an month after I had following symptoms observed in me loss in weight, diarrehea - it lasted for 12 days, nausea - for 2 months, muscle and joint pains - for 2 months, oral thrush - till today , oral ulcers- for an week , mild headache- daily , dehydration type of feeling (i.e loss of energy, oral dryness, whitish tongue, sour taste in my mouth) which I have been experiecing from 33 days after thet sex till today.. I am very scared.. plz help me..
I did followinf tests during all this period:
PCR DNA-36 th day
Tridot antibody-92nd day
Combo - 98th day
All the tests came negative.
I approched to many doctors here...
All saying that you should again get tested after 3 months again (i.e. 6 months after sex ). Please help me out...
I also read on many sites that 6 months is a window period for HIV detection... and doctors here saying the same..Sir as on many sites all the above symptoms are mentioned about hiv I am very tensed... what should i do??
This oral thrush with which I am suffering from 3 months is worring me a lot .. plz help... whether I should go for a PCR again.. I cannot wait for 2 months more. Please tell me a conclusive test.... and also sir I read about antibody body tests are not conlusive in X-linked agammaglubulinemia people... what is this??
Is it possible that all symptoms relating HIV i.e. oral thrush, fatigue, sore throat, mild fever, ulcers in mouth, body ache are seen and the person is still negative with an HIV test 3 months after an unprotected sex with sex worker....
This is what is happening with me.
plz reply...
