i appear to be the most unlucky person
ever. 10 months ago I was diagnosed with
genital warts after a sexual encounter
with someone (we did not have full sex as
I did not want to catch anything and we
had no condoms!)
at the time I was checked out 10 weeks
after the occurance I had everything
checked including an hiv test which came
back negative.
Since then however I have been having what
appear like light night sweats every
couple of weeks for a few nights at a
time. Could this be a sign of hiv
infection. After doing a bit of research
online I see that a rash and mouth alcers
can be a sign of serconversion, around 12
weeks after the occurance I got what
appeared to be prickly heat and some mouth
ulcers while on holiday, could this have
been something more sinister?? I also
have had some itching which I believe may
be a mild case of herpes?
I have found my hpv diagnosis so difficult
I do not think I can face going back to
the clinic.
Thanks
worried!

Symptoms of the lack of symptoms are not
hiv specific. If you had unprotected sex
then you need to be tested 13 weeks post
your last risky episode. If you are
having signs or symptoms of anything, see
your doctor.

You sound fine donnster80 . I see no need
to test unless its life threatening.
