Even though I had no idea what was happening to me at the time, I can remember mine so well.  I only really got this horrible pain in my throat,  like could not swallow at all, was hell and I didnt know what was going on,  and I remember my mum taking me to the doctors and getting me everything for my throat and my being angry that the doctor just said it was a sore throat and should get better. Whole thing makes me dead sad, remembering my mum getting me all this stuff for throat infections and stuff, now that i know what it was really.

i had no symptoms at all, only reason I found out was due to knowing I had a risky encounter and tested 3 months after. I actually thought I may have dodged a bullet until the results came back.

A year back, had severe flu for around 20 days. Doctors couldn't detect any disease and I continued back at work post recovery. The fever was recurring that got me worried. Previously, I used to suffer from fever just once a year, but now the frequency was thrice in just 6 months. Got a body profile done and hiv test just as an additional test.

I think that mine happened Summer of '14. I just hurt real badly all over my abdomen and back and my skin itched and I felt really hot and weak and couldn't get out of bed for about 3 days. I was diagnosed with trich but didn't get a blood test. After that I kept getting weird acne on my face and overheating a lot. I also started losing weight gradually. Then about six months later my lymph nodes swelled a bit in the back of my neck and head (painless) and in my upper back (thought it was broken) and a month after that I got a herpes sore and the nodes in my thighs swelled and hurt really badly for a week or two. Then I kept getting sick for a few months.
I can't really pinpoint it but the more I read I think it was the first illness. I don't know why trich would make me hurt and itch all over like that and I had no other symptoms.
After I started treatment, the knot in my head and my sore back went away (mostly. I'm still aware of it but not miserable). The doctor told me she had never heard of anyone having that happen in their back.

Honestly if it weren't for the being able to trace my exposure I doubt I would have realized it for what it was. I had nightsweats like crazy for about 2-3 weeks along with an on-off fever and a sore throat. However I am so prone to allergies and weather changes that I didn't think anything of it.

I haven't been diagnosed HIV+ but I'm wondering what was the rash like in those who say they seroconverted and it was a symptom. Was it like tinea versicolor (pink and blotchy). I've had a rash recently that lasted 4 weeks and has disappeared. But I'm curious as to what your rashes look like?

Sorry if this made me laugh.  Today's my mother's and Adolph Hitler's birthday.  We got her an awesome gift this year.  We're finally gonna plant her ashes.  I thought they look quite nice on my sister's mantel.  We've already had these plots but the marker thing along with the "internment"?

Double diagnosed, Syphilis and HIV. Early December of 2015 I noticed swelling in the lymph nodes in my groin. Didn't think much of it at the time. Was going on winter break from work and knew I would have a couple of weeks to get over the "flu". Nyquil and lots of rest and liquids. But, from the Saturday that I noticed the swollen lymph nodes till the next Saturday when I could barely move. The pain in n the joints in my knees was to the point that I could NOT get out of bed without pain. Had a rash that started around my ankles that worked it's way up over my torso, never had rash on the bottom of my feet.. Had bad night sweats, and temperature ranged from 103 to 96. Initially my GP had no clue and prescribed a round of antibiotics and did some blood work. Nothing there to give him a sign, except that there was an infection. After googling my symptoms, on the second round of blood work, I asked if an STD panel was included. Nurse said no but could do one. Guess I'm glad I said yes. Went from Syphilis to HIV diagnosis with initial results in signature. Caught early, and after  30 days of meds I am undetectable.  Really wish I knew if my initial symptoms were Syphilis or HIV related( just to try and narrow down my time frame). But, since initial symptoms are so similar, I'm probably SOL in trying to get a hold of my infector.

Those are ridiculously good numbers bsquared. I'm so jealous!

As for my seroconversion, I am pretty sure it was about 4yrs ago. I say 'pretty sure' because my HIV team are less sure and keep telling me it was probably Syphilis rather than HIV, but I don't buy it...

Anyway, I kept a detailed diary of it - so unusual I found it all. Of course, I rationalised it away for 4 years regardless.

Basically started with upset stomach and nausea, with fever and it hurt my eyes to move them. Paracetamol brought that under control to a degree but still had intense chills and some spleen discomfort. Eventually nausea was replaced with extremely, bordering on painfully, dry mouth. After a few days the fever broke, and was replaced by a pink spotty rash which affected only my upper chest, face, scalp and neck. This in turn faded after a few days, whilst the dry mouth and general shitty feeling continued in tandem. All in all I was probably only 'ill' for a few days, but the rash and dry mouth kept me away from work in total for two weeks.

My seroconversion actually happened in 2005 (i wasn't diagnosed with HIV until 2006)  i had a high grade fever for over a week and a half, i finally went into the dr because i was never sick.  After many blood tests they diagnosed me wtih CMV, which most people don't get unless they have a compromised immune system. My HIV test at the time was negitive,

My dr's think i was part of the rare population that harbord HIV in my body but didn't serovonvert it for awhile so my HIV test came up negitive


that doesn't really make sense. If you're going through seroconversion it means your body is fighting something…also harboring HIV wouldn't stop antibody tests…and especially antigen tests if they're generation 4. Sharing false info can scare people.

@Iphoneguy

People often have anecdotal personal stories, they are often just that nothing more nothing less

You however have no business commenting on them or posting in this part of the forum. If you post outside of the "Am I infected" section it will lead to a ban.
