My girlfriend and I have been having some
symptoms for a while now. We both have
real pale skin, dark eye circles, she's
gotten skinny in the face and arms/legs.
We both have stomach problems all the
time. I used to have rashes pop up on my
arms and legs, always in the same spot,
then they would leave. I always feel
congested in my sinuses, and my throat
feels like its burning a lot of the time.
I have pain coming from my calves,
stomach, sides, back, and arms. A lot of
symptoms that scare me. The last time I
would have been at risk was over 2 years
ago, and I was tested for hiv last
november and I was negative. I was very
impatient so I called my doctor the night
after the test and asked if he had my
results and he told me that it was
negative after a long pause. Is is
possible my doctor gave me the results
before he actually new them? I'm really
scared because my girl swears she hasnt
cheated on me, and I havent cheated on
her. Also she has just recently developed
a decent sized red bump down towards her
vagina. It doesnt look like herpes, or
anything else that I have ever seen for
that matter.....
Sorry for the long post, but I need some
serious advice.

Get tested again if your nervous about it;
but maybe don't do it at your doctor's.
Go somewhere where you don't know anyone
so they will have no reason not to tell
you the truth. On a side note, hiv has
no symptoms what so ever. You should
consult your doctor about what might be
causing these problems for you.

Where have you read that hiv has no
symptoms? Hiv has many symptoms man. The
might not show up right away, or might not
be noticable at first, but there are
definately symptoms to hiv.

There are no true symptoms, but rather
"signs" that may suggest that you have
hiv. Acute hiv syndrome (flu-like)
often develops in people within a month or
so after becoming infected, but it is not
always present, and the effects are few
and far between. The only sure fire
proof that is a "sign" is a decreased
white blood cell count on account of it
(aids). While some people so develop
more frequent infections in the chest and
otherwise, many others go without knowing
they have hiv until it's to late. Hiv
reacts differently in everyone, for this
reason, many people suggest that there are
no true symptoms of hiv. Sure there are
tests that can be run to prove whether or
not you have hiv, but a symptom is a
something that the person can physically
or visually experience or feel without a
test.
