Experts, help needed. very worried
« on: June 30, 2007, 01:39:57 pm »
This is my first post here, and I am very worried.

About 5 weeks ago, i made the biggest mistake of my life. I had sex for the first time, unprotected sex with a woman. She was  a nice girl, and she said she got tested for stds every 2 months. (i think that would include HIV).

Last week I had an upset stomach and could not sleep. They have now gone away. I have no fever, no diarrhea, no sweating, but my body feels weak.

I feel tired and the thing that worries me is that i think I have thrush. No swollen lymph nodes, but I get tired more easily when playing sports. I am so worried, thanks for all your help

one simple answer....you need to get tested.  You had unprotected sex and HIV is nothing to guess about.  The symptoms mean nothing regarding HIV. 

Wait the requisite 13 weeks and go get your test.  Odds are in your favor of testing negative as HIV is fragile and difficult to transmit, especially from female to male.

Try to stay busy and not surf the internet looking for "signs", it wil just make the waiting worse for you.

Also, be sure to use condoms from now on and you wont have to worry about HIV again.

Who-

AC is absolutely correct in his risk assessment: get tested at 13 weeks post-incident. It's the only way to be sure.

But I really want to suggest you reconsider this whole "biggest mistake" thing. Sex is not bad, it's actually wonderful. HIV is bad. Unprotected sex with an HIV+ partner can lead to infection, so outside the bounds of a long-term, monogamous relationship (to which both parties are absolutely committed), unprotected sex is risky.

Since you don't want to risk your health, stick with using condoms and plenty of water-soluble lube for vaginal and/or anal sex and you'll be fine.

Who,

The odds are in your favour of testing negative - although yes, you have had a risk.

You need to be using condoms for anal or vaginal intercourse, every time, no exceptions until such time as you are in a securely monogamous relationship where you have both tested for ALL STIs together. To agree to have unprotected intercourse is to consent to the possibility of being infected with a sexually transmitted infection. Sex with a condom lasts only a matter of minutes, but hiv is forever.

Have a look through all three condom and lube links in my signature line so you can use condoms with confidence.

Anyone who is sexually active should be having a full sexual health care check-up, including but not limited to hiv testing, at least once a year and more often if unprotected intercourse occurs.

If you aren't already having regular, routine check-ups, now is the time to start. As long as you make sure condoms are being used for intercourse, you can fully expect your routine hiv tests to return with negative results. Don't forget to always get checked for all the other sexually transmitted infections as well, because they are MUCH easier to transmit than hiv.

Symptoms, or even the lack of symptoms will tell you nothing about your hiv status. The only way to know your hiv status is through testing. The appropriate time to test is three months after your last unprotected incident.

Who,

Primary hiv infection does not turn one's tongue white.

If you're concerned about the state of your tongue, show it to your doctor or dentist. It's nothing to do with hiv.

Stop inspecting your body, trying to identify reasons to believe you've been infected. Only testing will tell you what the score is and that score is most likely negative.

White tongue means nothing of the sort. Many things can cause a white tongue, not just thrush. In any event thrush is not a "huge symptom of HIV". HIV negative people often get thrush.

As you've been told already, the window period is 13 weeks. Most people who are going to test positive will do so by the 6 week mark, but for a conclusive negative result you have to wait 13 weeks.

I am confident you'll test negative at the 13 week mark.

who,

You can take a six week test if you like. The vast majority of people who have actually been infected will seroconvert and test positive by six weeks, with the average time to seroconversion being only 22 days. A six week negative will need to be confirmed at three months, but is unlikely to change.

If your throat continues to give you problems, see your doctor. It is not likely to be hiv related.

Who-

Home tests are accurate, for sure. But poz or neg (and I'm certain you'll turn out neg), there are follow-up counseling/referral services when it's done at a testing facility. Personally I think those services put your results into perspective that calling an automated line cannot provide.

One way or the other, get tested.

Like all other symptoms (or the absence of them), tingling feet mean absolutely nothing in relation to HIV. They are in no way HIV specific and may as likely be from anxiety as much as anything else. That's something to discuss with your doctor.

Given what you have described + the difficulty of transmitting HIV from female to male, (even assuming the woman you were with is HIV+), the odds of your having become infected from a single such episode are overwhelmingly in your favor AGAINST it having occured.

As long as the Home Test is FDA approved you can rely on the result. You didn't mention specifically which one it is. For a reliable result you do need to test at 13 weeks, but a negative at 6 weeks is going to be a good sign. It is very unlikely to change at 13 weeks.

Cheers,

Who,

Lymph nodes swell for all sorts of reasons, including when they're constantly prodded and poked. It's best to leave the examination of ones nodes to a doctor.

Who,

We've told you on numerous occasions that symptoms mean nothing when it comes to diagnosing HIV infection. The important issue here is that you had unprotected sex and you need to have a test done at 13 weeks from that of that unprotected sexual encounter.

That advice is not going to change. If your feet are sore, your nose is runny, your calves tingly or whatever else you need to discuss that with your doctor.

As we've also told you the likelihood of you testing positive is quite remote. I fully expect your test result to be negative and so should you. That's my expert opinion, mate.

It only "hurts" if she was HIV+, which you do not know.

I have every reason to believe that you'll come back negative. Let us know when you get your results.

who,

Stop the symptom hunting right now. We won't play that game with you here.

My partner and I were together for eighteen months before we discovered my positive hiv status. We did not use condoms during that time and as in any new relationship, we had a fair amount of sex. We use condoms now and eight years later, we're still together and he's still hiv negative.

Hiv is a fragile, difficult to transmit virus and more so from a woman to a man. I'm fully expecting you to test negative after this one night of passion and so should you.

Who,

Yes, it's good that you don't have thrush, but a good "sign"? We don't do "sign" reading here, we just go by the science of hiv transmission and testing.

Neither the presence NOR the absence of any symptoms means a darned thing when it comes to hiv infection. Please try to  understand that. Keep yourself productively busy - go mow the lawn or something - and stay off internet hiv websites while you wait for the appropriate time to test.

who,

You need to realise that you're more likely to find a winning lottery ticket, worth millions, lying in the gutter outside your house than you are to test positive after this incident. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it is highly improbable.

As I said to you yesterday, stay off internet hiv sites and stop searching yourself for "symptoms". Stay busy and the time until you can have a conclusive test will be here before you know it.

Now go mow your lawn already!

sry guys I have one last question. Someone else posted this on another forums=

Yes.....it most likely will change. You should have been told by the doctor's office that you won't get REAL results until it's been 6 months. It takes 6 months for a viral load to be detectable.....if there is one. So, you need to go back at that time.

Any truth to this?
