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.

  • The information shared in these forums, by moderators and members, is designed to complement, not replace, the relationship between an individual and his/her own physician.

  • 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.

  • We ask all forums members to provide references for health/medical/scientific information they provide, when it is not a personal experience being discussed. Please provide hyperlinks with full URLs or full citations of published works not available via the Internet. Additionally, all forums members must post information which are true and correct to their knowledge.

scared...
« on: April 13, 2008, 08:52:44 pm »
i had unprotected receptive anal sex about 4 weeks ago. i do not know if the person is poitive he was tested 5 months prior and was .egatie however he has had sex since so thre is a chance. about 4 days ago i started having a bad headache about once a day that would go away as soon as i took advil. I then started sweating in the night and then a very high fever of 103. the fever would go away as soon as i took tylenol. i went to the dr and tested negative for strep and flu. i was given antibiotics and now i feel fine. ihadthem take blood and do a full std panel since it has been 3 months since i was tested last. i know the only way to know for sure is to gettested but any positive words would be appreciated. i can guarantee u that this has happened fo a purpose i will NEVER have unprotected sex again! and have already signed up with my local aids organization to volunteer. it has made me realise how one simple mistake could really screw things up. i hope that is all that will come from this situation.

The only way to know your hiv status is through testing, a test at three months past your last incident of unprotected intercourse will be conclusive.

Condoms should be used at all times...NO EXCEPTIONS.
