Privacy Warning:  Please realize that these forums are open to all, and are fully searchable via Google and other search engines. If you are HIV positive and disclose this in our forums, then it is almost the same thing as telling the whole world (or at least the World Wide Web). If this concerns you, then do not use a username or avatar that are self-identifying in any way. We do not allow the deletion of anything you post in these forums, so think before you post.

  • All members of these forums are, by default, not considered to be licensed medical providers. If otherwise, users must clearly define themselves as such.

  • Forums members must behave at all times with respect and honesty. Posting guidelines, including time-out and banning policies, have been established by the moderators of these forums.

Jegan,your symptoms and your thoughts, feelings and self-diagnosing notwithstanding, you are still HIV negative. Period. End of story.

You say it "didn't work" to see a psychologist. Did you think there was going to be overnight magic and suddenly everything would be gone?

As for your symptoms, you should be discussing them with your doctor if you have persistent ones.

No matter how you try to make it otherwise, this is NOT an HIV situation.

jegan,

Whatever is going on, it has NOTHING to do with hiv. You are hiv negative, period, end of story.

Work with your doctor to get to the bottom of whatever is going on. You have ruled out hiv - look for other causes.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts
