Could This Be?
Posted: 10-20-05 18:05pm

I'm so scared I need someones advice. If you have any please let me know.
On sept. 23 I had unprotected sex with this boy. Its now oct. 19 and i'm feeling a little scared. 2 days after having sex with this boy I get a uti (urinary tract infection) I get that cured and tha doctor said if the medicine works well I will get a yeast infection from the medication, and that happened. Now all of that is over with and I keep thinkin that I have hiv. I guess its just my nerves or something but sometimes I think that my throat is starting to hurt. I think its all in my head cuz when I dont think about it I dont feel like that. I just think like that when i'm by myself. I've gotten sick 2 times im allergic to smoke so thats probably why i've been around people who smokes which gave me a (stuffed up nose, watery eyes, coughing etc. Nothing major) it happened while I was with these smokers it went away the next day. Also i've been tired lately. Im so scared cuz im only 17 years old please help somebody.

This is why having protected sex leaves a comfort zone. If you are really worried about it, you could simply ask him if he knows whether or not if he has hiv, or you can go and get tested.

I Think Youre Worried to the Hell's Limits

I see you dear friend that you are all the more worried due to the incident. Please leave your worries to a confidence and get tested if you want to be sure.

Hiv has no specific symptoms, nor symptoms always cannot be related to hiv. The only way to get rid of it from our mind is to get tested at the end of 3 months (window period).

You could have got all those symptoms that you had specified even before, but now, the incident makes you think that its specifically due to the virus. But the answer is no. Most people who get infected never realise any symptoms at all until their immune system comes down. And most people who report back with symptoms never have the virus in them. Its just the fear that makes it like an elephant. Cheer up and get up and get tested.
