I know there are no symptoms of hiv and
you can go a really long time without
knowing. I'm 19, and i've had unprotected
sex once. Other than that, it's only been
oral, and I have only swallowed semen
once. After I had the unprotected sex I
became completely unsettled and began
thinking about hiv and aids. That was
around the beginning of may. During the
summer I started experiencing diarrhea on
& off, and still experience it. Also,
I suffer from chronic fatigue, since then.
I could get 12 hours or 8 and I would
wake up completely exhausted. My glands
are swollen, and I have broken out so bad
on my face, back, and chest recently. One
thing I would like to point out is that
when I had unprotected sex, I also became
vegetarian and stop eating meat which
sometimes causes diarrhea. I have other
flu-like symptoms. I am too afraid to get
tested because what if I am positive? I
wouldn't know how to react ro what to do.
Does this sound like I could have hiv?

Yes. No. Who knows. Do yourself a
favor and just go get tested; you've
passed the "waiting period" already.

Dear friend.
You yourself have mentioned clearly, that
hiv has no clear symptoms at the earlier
stages (ars). Then how do you relate all
your symptoms to hiv. Well, symptoms are
common for many diseases and no one except
a perfect medical examination can confirm
or decline the cause.
So, let me advise you the same thing.
Dont get panic. Whether you are tested
or not, you cannot do anything if you are
positive, except to be positive in your
situation. But think the other way, if
you are still negative, you have been
wasting your days thinking about it and
spoiling your healthy lifestyle...Right.
So dont worry. You have already crossed
your 3 month mark and its a best time to
get tested. Occurance of hiv in a single
exposure if limited to 1 in 300 to 10,000.
So your chances of being infected by
this rish behaviour is rare, though
possible.
So take courage and get tested. Inform
us when you get your results, so that we
could also smile along with you.
Good luck and be cheerful. Gods guidance
be with you.
