FOR ALL YOU SYMPTOM CHECKERS AND WORRIERS

[jaydheretohelp]

I really would like to share my experience as it was an educational and very humbling experience.   I had unprotected insertive vaginal sex with someone who's status was unknown to me. From day 1 I was very worried/stressed/anxious about this exposure. 4 weeks after exposure I developed daily headaches some slight muscle aches and the occasional chill.  At that time I did the worst thing possible. I googled my symptoms. From there it was a total downward spiral of anxiety fear and obsession. I thought for sure that I had contracted hiv. at 3 1/2 months I could not take the worry anymore so I tested and it was NEGATIVE effing NEGATIVE....the worry and weight that came off my shoulders was indescribable it was beautiful. Unfortunately some people don't have that happy ending. So three things to take from this..

1.  DONT RELY ON SYMPTOMS FOR - OR +
2.  Anxiety is a *****
3.  GET TESTED GET TESTED GET TESTED it is never a bad decision

I hope my experience will help someone because a lot of you on here and your words really helped me and I thank you from the bottom of my heart ✌️

ive seen drs all over most of them either dont care or make up retarded excuses one says i got it from an excavator.

i bought a microscope and i saw candida and virons in my blood samples.also i think i have an infection in my throat as well to wich im still suspicious of a bacterial infection .my western blot says i have the p41 antigen .in general if you have it it is synonomous with spirochettes wich could be lyme or syphilis or one of the other seven spirochettes that cause lyme i had a darkfield microscopy done and it showed the same findings i had under my microscope.so far i diagnosed myself with hhv6 and the candida still trying to find out what the name of this virus is..

but 1 year an 8 months and no answer .so i am going to get a sputum culture and a gram stain.to find what is in the throat.drs should use microscopy to help diagnose .it seems to be useful enough to observe the infections themselves .it used to be one of the main ways that syphilis was diagnosed in the past especially when there was evidence and a blood test would not pick it up.

also you can see you can see a syphilis rash under a blue light .drs used to do this too .you cant alwasy see the rash enough to identify it in interoir lighting and it does not always display itself as big brown spots.i just dont understand why drs tell me  that the tests are too expensive to save my vision and hearing .so we just wont do them.microscopy .could have very well solved this mess a year and a half ago .before anyone else was harmed by this.

my son has had some hearing loss also they say it is ok because hes only lost between 15 to 20 percent on various frequencys but hes had 2 hearing tests and the general consensus from 2 audiograms is that his hearing is still moving downward .the dr says this is still within range so once it gos below 20 % we might check his sputum maybe.he says he dos not see any thing wrong and that testing for preventitive  purposes is bad medicine and he laughed at me.but i am negative for hiv.

testing at 6 months is outdated and completely unnecessary. 12 weeks is conclusive unless you are being treated with immunosuppressive drugs or had a recent organ transplant.

my experience started with an infection in my throat.i gave the results of every blood test i have had.i watched my mchc go high my lymphocytes dropped like a rock.they went from 32 % to 7%. my platlets got very low i was bruising easily.my ck was elevated .i had tension in my chest vision problems night sweats,tinnitus..wich lead to hearing loss and vision loss 40%.its affecting my liver kidneys heart.im negative for hiv .

now its affecting my wife she passed out 5 times and was unresponsive and groaning.she is negative for hiv .she got this from me and we havent had relations the min i knew something was in my throat so i stopped all relations drs said i wasnt contagious.i never even kissed her.

Yes sleepless education is definitely key

[sleeplessnights34]

1- I agree

2- I agree

3- Rather than getting tested, GET EDUCATED, GET EDUCATED, GET EDUCATED ((and get tested "if" required))

Don't worry yourself sick because you literally can make yourself have symptoms. What was your risk if I may ask?
