HIV or STD ? Posted: 07-09-08 12:22pm
I am a 32 year old male. I would say
about 3 months ago, I had sex with girl
that I barely knew. I used a trojan
condom. Afterwards I noticed a little
blood on the condom. This really freaked
me out. The condom wasn't broken. But it
has been in the back of my mind ever
since. Then maybe about 4 weeks ago I
started having some strange symptoms.
Light headed, body and muscle aches
everywhere, fatigued, fever for a day or
so, stomach pain. This lasted for about a
week. I went to the doctor and his
concerns were 1, getting my sugar levels,
and 2 having an ultrasound on my stomach.
I didn't mention the sex part, but he
didn't seem to concerned I might have had
any stds based on my symptoms. I told him
I wanted to get a full std blood work too,
he didnt think I needed it, but he had
that done as well as the sugar test. I
get my results in a few days, but again
I'm having similar symptoms. There is no
stomach pain now, but I feel fatigued,
light headed, I had a fever last night,
but that is going down. Also last night
it was extremely painful to swallow. Not
as bad now, but there is a little pain
when I swallow in my throat. I'm really
concerned this might be HIV. What are the
odds that I couldve come into contact with
hiv, even though I was wearing a condom?
I get the feeling my doctor thinks it's
diabetes. But I didn't think diabetes
symptoms were fever, and fatigue, and the
other symptoms I mentioned. Does anyone
have any thoughts?

Please get a HIV test to rule it out.
Trojan is a good brand of condom.
Remember they say safer sex NOT safe sex.
