Welcome


Welcome to the POZ Community Forums, a round-the-clock discussion area for people with HIV/AIDS, their friends/family/caregivers, and others concerned about HIV/AIDS.  Click on the links below to browse our various forums; scroll down for a glance at the most recent posts; or join in the conversation yourself by registering on the left side of this page.

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.

Hi guys,

as most of the regulars know, at the end of last month I had an "exposure" to the virus and I have been worried every since.  The worrying was almost behing me until last nihgt I noticed a rash on my back and I had a very very watery bowel movement, also my lymph nodes have not gone down and they are popping up all over.  I would really like to just get tested now and I was wondering if you are experiencing or think that your experincing ARS, should HIV be present in the blood yet?

You did not read the "Welcome Post." Read the section on guidelines of posting. Keep all your thoughts and questions in your original thread.

er,

For a start, it helps us to help you when you keep all your additional thoughts or questions in one thread. With this in mind, I'm locking this one and normally I do so to enable you to return to your original thread. However, I'm also locking your original thread.

Why? Well, did you think I'd forget about your time-out warning just because you started a new thread? Well, it didn't work and yes, you have just earned yourself a four week time-out, starting immediately.

If you need help finding your original thread when you come here, click on the "Show own posts" link under your name in the left-hand column of any forum page.

Please also read through the Welcome Thread so you can familiarize yourself with our Forum Posting Guidelines.

Thank you for your cooperation.

And please, use your time-out to get some face-to-face help and support from a mental health care professional for your hiv anxieties. We cannot do that for you here.

Ann

PS, do not create a new account to get around your time out. If you do, you will be banned, no questions asked.

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
