Hi almost 3 months ago I gave oral sex I've had alot of symptoms of hiv and I'm freaking out! I'm a 22 year old straight black female.. I've had burning scalp,headaches,white spots on my toenails,red spots on my throat,unexplained brushing on my body,tender and soft skin,brown spots under my skin,fever that comes and goes, a little bit of diarrhea,chills,the urge to cough,seems like easy brushing,maybe liver pains,i think i have a yeast infection but i just got done with antibiotics and I've had a sore throat that comes and goes.. i had a hiv test at 7 weeks it was neg but i know the window period is 3 months i'm freaking out please help!!!

Perhaps you can find a free clinic somehwere? At this stage >3 months post exposure, actually, all you need is a regular rapid antibody blood test... these are widely available in clinics

I have to wait until I can pay they charge at the clinic and planned parenthood it's not free where I stay really wish I could go now!

why wait a couple of weeks? HIV testing in the modern day no longer requires a painfully anxious waiting game. Retest now with a 4th gen DUO or PCR RNA test. Find out your status now.

I've tryed to talk to the guy about it but it's like he's avoiding it that makes me think he has it and knows! He won't go get tested and won't really answer me it's always something with him I'm really worried now I will retest ih a couple of weeks but I know I'm positive

[nina890]

Thanks guys! I'm scared to test again I know it's gonna be positive

Well if you test come back and share your negative results.

Thank you! But did you read the top post of my story I have MANY symptoms and now I have a sore throat again I think my lymh nodes are swollen under chin or ears.. I've got it I know I do!

Hi, groin pains and body aches are not symptoms of HIV. Symptoms do not define presence of HIV. Theres are some people who get ARS symptoms which are flu like and there is a difference between flu and common cold.

Thanks so much for responding! I don't know what kind of hiv test it was I am a nervous wreck! I also forgot to mention I have groin pains and body aches I think that's it's I've been all over the internet and I've seen a few ppl say that got it from oral! I just know I have it!!

Relax ! Even if your test was an antibody alone only, of previous generation, it was highly reassuring and none of us has seen a 6+ weeks negative test turning otherwise in the weeks to come.

Exposure of performing oral sex is a risk of extremely low intensity, too low to be considered. The symptoms you mentioned, do not look HIV related

I forgot got to mention the biggest part I brushed my teeth before and had bleeding gums!!
