Hi all :)
my story and facts
back in 1998 I went to an escort. She was
young. Anyway, I was too nervous to do
anything with her though she kissed me and
I believe my penis had contact with her
vagina when the condom slipped off at the
end. It was a horrible ordeal and now for
all these years I have been with no one.
Around 6 weeks after seeing her. I
developed srs systems - chills, fever,
mild nausea, stiffness in the muscles,
running nose and they went maybe after two
weeks as mysteriously as they appeared. I
never had a hiv or any test, as I felt my
normal healthly self. It was in march
2000 that I had my first urine tract
infection (which like all the rest didnt
show up anything). I've had them rather
regulary at least once a month since then.
It was august 2005 after a particulary bad
uti, I read about hiv and utis so it was
then I was tested for hiv and the other
std. It was a p24 test and I got a
non-reactive result. I felt fine for
month till had another uti. It was
november that I noticed my tongue had red
spots on it and my upper lip had tiny
little white spots. The red spots left
but the tiny white spots are still there.
As well i've had a dry throat and a
feeling of indigestion.
In febuary I had my 2nd hiv test, the
result was negative. The escort place I
went to is now closed which makes it worse
for me. I know the place that sent me to
it. The doctor of mine has give me
medication for anxiety - luvox, however I
wont take that - should read about it
online scrary stuff.
I just wonder if the hiv virus is dorment
in me and it is not showing.
Anyway, I hope my symtons help ppl here
who are in stress waiting results, and
have the same syntoms as me.
Take care
sammy

Hiv doesn't lie dorment. You had a non
risk situation and you've tested negative.
You have nothing else in relation to hiv
to be concerned about.

thanks. Yes I still think about it. Yes
those 2 negative results gave me a better
feeling. I just cant get those symptons
out of my mind that I had after seeing
that girl and how I dont feel right since
then. Maybe I got mental problems from it
all :oops: :p

If it happened in 1998, and you tested
negative this year, you most certainly did
not become infected with hiv in this
episode.
Hiv remains somewhat inactive during the
long-term asymptomatic stage, but it ia
not undetectable at this time.

something. Seems more like heart burn -
reflex.

Stress And Anxiety Posted: 02-21-06 19:53pm
I think the major problem with you is that
you think of it too much. Just get
relaxed and relieved. Your possible
exposure was way back in 1998, which is
about 7 years before. Though I do not
know your sexual history after this very
incident, one could confirm that if you
are infected, it could not be due to this
incident. Its too long for symptoms to
occur.
However, since you have been tested and
was non reactive, there is nothing to
worry about. Maybe the symptoms in your
tongue and lips could be a local bacterial
infection which could be diagonised and
treated easily. Try eating a good amount
of yogurt which could increase the level
of flora (good bacteria) of your tongue
and could help to cure many such
infections.
Just leave of the worry and concentrate in
something else. If you are panic, you
can get it worse.

kiklis2k thanks. I've been in no
relationships since the event in 1998. I
do think I worry too much but I cant help
it sometimes. Last winter my whole family
got sick but I had a score throat and that
but it went. Since that first test I
havent been right :p probably stree and
anxiety for sure. I'll try the yogurt and
the tongue thing has gone now, just the
lip and that dry burning feeling in my
throat which might be stress or reflux
maybe :oops: ...Sure hope that nasty
virus isnt hiding and that, I really doubt
that :shock:

The virus is not hiding in any intentional
sense. That isn't how it works. You
tested negative in a test where your
immune system's hiv-specific antibodies
are detected. The test, especially after
three months, is medically conclusive.
You. Are. Hiv. Negative.
If you want further reassurance, please
visit aidsmeds.Com, and post your concerns
in the fears forum. Within minutes, one

thanks finess I might go to that forum
also to get more reassurance. :oops: I
wake some mornings with a stuffy nose and
start to wonder this isnt me. I guess I
am just getting older. Thanks again.
Sam
p.S edit - I just realised i've already
had a post on that forum and got the same
reassurance. I'll have to let it go. I
think my post will help others who
might've been to an escort or had low to
high risk encounters.
