Hello,
I have posted in here before, but I am extremely worried. I shared a cocaine straw several times with a friend who is infected with HIV. I believe if I did become infected it would have been in mid-December, 2007.
In late January-early February, I became extremely sick for a couple of weeks. I couldn't leave my bed for a few days. I was extremely dizzy. I had a cough. Flu-like symptoms, etc.
Now I have a rash on each side of my neck. My tongue became yellow yesterday. I have a bitter taste in my mouth. No matter how hard I scrub my tongue, it stays yellow. I've never had this before.
I don't feel right; something is off.
Your nose bleeds when you snort coke. I was extremely drunk and I don't remember much about that night in particular, but I know we shared the straw through the course of several hours.
I have some questions:
When should I be tested?
How soon do acute HIV symptoms occur?
Why is my tongue yellow with a bitter taste in mouth?
