i think i have hiv (answers)

[Healthqz]

i think we all know how symptoms do not mean a thing when it comes to knowing your status. i dont know much but <<< this i do know. This is to help all those anxious people out there, those exposed and have a lot of questions. We have people thinking of committing suicide because of mere symptoms at either high or low exposure. I have been going through a lot of questions here and would really appreciate if those who know answer these questions in general (in short).
1- if you are uncircumcised does it automatically mean you have hiv after vaginal or anal no condom exposure?
2- is it possible to get hiv from oral sex with or without cuts in the mouth?
3- to those who develop symptoms but test negative, what really causes these symptoms?
4-if sexual partner has std and hiv and i have std, does it mean i automatically have hiv after unprotected high risk(vaginal and anal no condom)?
5-is it possible to get more than one std from partner and still not get hiv from them?
6-people talk of 3 months, 6 months, so when can you test and leave your anxiety behind without suggesting more  tests.
7-it is said 80% sexually active people have hpv and it not much of a concern, but does it increase chances of hiv as much as other stds.
8- does having UTI after no condom exposure (vaginal, anal) mean hiv also moved in with std that caused UTI.
9- how is it possible to get stds' and not get hiv(since it is an std as well).
10-Condom exposure, hiv cannot pass through, so which stds can?

What was your 4 weeks Duo test result?

[Healthqz]

i didnt test. bacause i had in my mind accepted i had hiv considering i got candida(as told by doc) and possibly gonnorhea(dark urine and slight pain when urinating) from the exposure.

Why are you doing this to your self?  These are your own diagnosis of your own condition and you are not a doctor.

Secondly, save your self from all the stress,  just go right away and test your self, you need a Duo test for your conclusive.

Posting anxiety ridden statements here in the forum will not give you any answer,  only testing will.

I don't think we can add any thing more to your situation,  how can we help you,  when you are not ready to help your own self?

Take that test, you are in the right time frame for a reliable result. You will most likely be negative, your exposure was low risk, plus the thought that your partner was HIV positive is just your assumption like every thing else.  

[Healthqz]

if it not a bother. can i give you a short list of my experience for the past month so you see why my optimism is this low

[mike_no]

It doesn't matter, symptoms do not mean any thing and no one can diagnose you online.  You need a test to know.  There is nothing more I can add to this.

That won't be necessary.  As you were advised, you can test now for your conclusive result.  There is no need to continue asking "what if" questions when the power to know your status is in your own hands.
