I am dead sick
« on: March 12, 2012, 08:02:36 pm »
Hello, Let me start with my history. 2 years back I came to US to do masters.
I was a horney lbastard. So I started going to clubs. After some days I was wondering about transexlas. SO I met a Af-Amer Trans on Backpage and visited her often. I also visited other escorts. On the whole I had sex with 3 women.
three of them were women and the sex was Vaginal with condom. But I did visit some transexulas aswell but never had sex with them.
I only had protected oral sex that too they did it on me(She licking me).
I never performed oral sex on them. Of the three vaginal sexual encounters I had, after the last one I took HIV test(ELISA Lab Corp).
The test was performed after 4 months or probably 3.5 months after that act. It turned out to be negetive. After the test I did have
three more exposures in which I did not even have oral sex only mutual mastruabation.
In the three encounters after test one was a girl and the other 2 were Trans.
I thought everything was fine. But one day I developed a pimple on shaft which was oozing pus and blood.
I was worried it was herpes. I went to a doctor he told it was bacterial infection. But I was not convinced.
So I tested for herpes. HSV1 came back +ve and HSV2 -ve(Test should have been atlest 5 to 6 months after exposure which was mutual mastrubation).
So HSV2 has been ruled out. But i started reading in forums that HIV will cause piples in genetial areas.
So for the past 8 to 9 months I was like terebley stresed. I started smoking 20 cigretts a day until I landed with chest infection.
I went to the doc and he suspected Pnemonia or Tubecolosis. Took a chest X-ray and every thing was normal. But For the past 1.5 monts I have been
feeling chilly. Lot of mucus comes out. Whats worst is I suddenly had bunch of red pimples in my armpits.
Doc gave antibiotics and they went away in 7 days. But a day after they went away I started having tender swollen lymph nodes in the axilla region.
They were in the size of a peanut and painful. So I went back he again gave me antibitics. So for me the lymphnode stays for a day or 2
on one side. When that goes other one springs up on the other arm. Its been like 5 days since the antibitics started but still have one
tender lymph node one side. I have been streesing over hiv for the past 8 months. I went to a stage where my head started to become light.
Some times I feel as if I am gonna fall down. Whats worying me more my body chills which always there. Doc tested me for Pneumonia, TB and MOno and also
 ordered a Blood count. Every thing was normal but I still spit a lot of mucus and feel chilli. My palms and feet also used to sweat
but that became a lot less lately. My question is how likey is my risk. Are these chills(Still Going On) sign of HIV? Is The bacterial infection
I had in arm pit and swollen lymph nodes after it  common in HIV patients? I also had abcess below my stomach which a doc removed with surgical procedure.
 And also one imp thing. My eye sight in one eye increased from -2.5 to -3.5. Is loosing eye sight common HIV phenomenon?
Please Doc Please take time to read this. I would be really grateful to you.

At no time did you have a risk of contracting HIV in any of the situations you've provided.

If you are concerned about your symptoms see your doctor, they have nothing to do with HIV.

Symptoms are never the way in which you ought to be guided about your HIV status. If you had a risk the only way to know your status accurately is to get tested at the appropriate time.

But nothing you have reported in your history suggests any risk for HIV.

So as Rod said you should be discussing your concerns with your doctor to find out the real cause.

Happily there is no basis to think your problem is about HIV.
