Please Someone Reply. I Am Under Severe Depression. ........

Hi guys,

please someone tell me if my syptoms are hiv or std related or its just anxiety or alcohol abuse. It all started in the following way.

I had sex (using condom) with a sex worker somewhere in mid of march, I had small sore on the testicle at that time and I suspect that it has contacted the vaginal fluid. And also she gave me blow job while I was not wearing the condom. A 3 weeks after that I had diarrhoea type situation on and off for 2 months now. No fever, no swollen gland. But I have pain in pelvic left side and left side of neck/jaw and also a mild sore throat for more than 2 months until now. I have had small purplish blotch with little pain on my left eye lid for the last 1 month it has got swollen now. I read about all these symptoms on the web and since then I am worried. I had 2 weeks antibiotics course but still the pain and sore throat is there. I am scared and as a result of depression I have started drinking and smoking too much. My personilty has changed a lot. Could it be because of alcohol abuse and smoking.


I got really scared and contacted a general practitioner who advised me to go for esr test (i didnt tell him about the exact incidence). I took the test on 26th may and got the following readings.



Esr westergren method 02mm/hr (normal range 0-15)
lymphocytes 45.4% (normal range 20-45)

in urine test all is fine except for occassional red blood cells.


I had abdomen ultrasound and theres no inflammation or lymph node growth there.

I am really scared to get hiv tested. Does esr test reflects the hiv presence or std ?



If yes, what is the affect of window period on the esr result.



Please advise as I am under extreme depression and I have learnt my lesson. I love my wife and I have decided to keep away from such act in future.

Please reply someone ...

Mark.
