Symptoms of HIV ? One night stand w/ protected vaginal sex Posted: 10-31-07 08:03am
I can't believe this is happening to me.
Had a one night stand with protected
vaginal sex (penis became flaccid during
intercourse --- condom did not fall off).
Also had some gingivitus / small sore on
my gums / and had deep kissing, and
minimal oral sex. I also have HPV / warts,
although the breakout ocurred about 3
years ago.
Didn't think I was really at risk until I
look back now at symptoms that began 35
days after exposure:
I'm really screwed:
Day 1:
1 papular rash lesion on upper torso (did
not see them anywhere else)
1 Episode of diarrhea
Day 2:
Low grade fever after drinking
considerable alcohol the night before
Day3:
Felt fine
Day 4: Low grade fever after drinking the
night before
Day 5: Malaise
Day 6: Malaise
Day 7: Felt fine
Day 8: Low grade fever after drinking the
night before
Day 9: Low grade fever continues
Day 10: weakness and malaise
Day 11. body temperate seems below 98.6
then higher in evening
Day 12: symptoms are over
Is there any other possible reason for
these symptoms. I had been travelling that
month and had been stressed. I am hoping
that it is possible that this is not HIV,
but judging from these symptoms, if it's
not, then it's some other life threatening
disease, and not just a flu.
I'm planning on getting tested next week,
but before this, I am trying to plan how
I'm going to cope. Going to bring anxiety
and anti-depressant medication to the
testing site (i have never taken
medication before).
I am hoping and praying for mono or
aseptic meningitis. These symptoms are
just too coincidental.
So scared.

Having a flu-like symptoms two to four
weeks after suspected exposure can be a
worrying sign.
Flu-like symptoms can be also due to viral
meningitis and most cases of aseptic
meningitis resolve completely within 7 to
10 days.
How do you feel today?
Do you usually experience diarrhea after
excessive drinking?
Do you feel extremely fatigue?
Did you have headache, muscle ache or sore
throat?
Have you checked for swollen lymph nodes?
Did you noticed a tiny red spots or
bruise-like areas inside the mouth,
especially on the roof of the mouth?
