ABOUT A MONTH AFTER THAT(OCT12) I GOT SICK, I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING THE FLU(BODY ACHES BUT NO FEVER OR COLD) IT LASTED FOR ABOUT A WEEK N A HALF. THEN JUST LAST WEEK(NOV7) A THOUGHT I WAS COMING DWN WITH SOMETHING AGAIN( BODY ACHES, MILD) , I'VE NOTICED THAT I AM ALOT MORE TIRED THEN USUAL(SLEEP LONGER), MY ANXIETY IS KILLING ME, I READ ONLINE ABOUT EARLY SYMPTOMS OF HIV WICH WER TIREDNESS, FLU LIKE SYMPTOMS, RASHES ETC & NOW IM ALMOST CONVINCED I HAVE THE DISEASE. IM FREAKING OUT!!! CAN MY ANXIETY BE CAUSING THESE SYMPTOMS? BECUASE TO ME THEY ARE VERY REAL.. I KNOW THIS IS FLU SEASON BUT I JUST CANT HELP BUT THINK.... UGH!!!! IM GOIN MAD!! WHAT IS THE MOST COMON EARLY HIV SYMPTOM? AND HOW LIKELY IS IT THAT I AM INFECTED? 1 IN A 100? 1 IN 200? I AM SO SCARED TO GO GET TESTED!
There are no reliable symptoms of HIV. They may appear many years down the road. I felt the same way after encountering an escort last year. The more I thought about it .. the more I became ill. Swollen lypmth nodes, follicitis, rashes, swore throat ... ect. Appartently, if you get tested at 6 weeks, it will detect 90 percent of HIV infection. 90% of people with HIV test positive (show signs of anti bodies at 3 weeks). Just get tested to clear you mind ... everything you described is a very small chance of contacting the virus. Cheers!
TY LIZZIE, DO YOU OR ANY ONE KNOW WHAT R MY CHANCES OF CONTRACTING HIV THROUGH UNPROTECTED VAGINAL WITH A FEMALE WITH UNNONE HIV STATUS? I READ SEMILAR QUESTION ON THE ASK A DOCTOR FORUM AND THE DOCTOR ANSWERD CHANCES ARE 1 IN 100,000. IS THIS ACURATE? IS IT REASLLY THAT SMALL OF A CHANCE? THEN THE DOCTOR SAID THE CHANCES OF ME COTRACTING THE DISEASE FROM A FEMALE WITH A POSITIVE HIV STATUS ARE 1 IN 1000. THAT STILL IS A VERY SMALL CHANCE? ?? IF THIS IS REALLY THE CASE IT MAKES ME FEEL ALOT BETTER.. ANYONE COMMENT PLEASE

anxiety can definitely cause physical symptoms.
symptoms...or lack thereof cannot diagnose hiv...only a test can do that.
