Aa
Is there a hope for me ? Help me please
March 25th (with person A)
I had my first intercourse ever it was (unprotected oral)
April 8th (with person A)
A (protected anal sex)
April 22th (with person B) **
A (protected anal sex + unprotected oral+ deep kissing)
April 23rd Person B got sick
April 28th ELIZA came negative (Mine and person B's) (B's last exposure was on the 4th of March)
April 29th (person B)
deep kissing with cold sores on lips healing
May 12th ELIZA came negative (Mine)
----------------------------------
My symptoms started after 22th of April ** :
+Two days after that date I got an outbreak of cold sores on lips (the first time) so I'm assuming new HSV-1 is involved
+Then 2-3 days one swollen tonsil
April 28th:
+first night sweat
then symptoms showed one by one until this day May 26th (something new every now and then)
in order:
+one episode of diarrhea
+cold sores healed
+tonsil: back to normal
+night sweats come and go
+severity of fatigue increasing
+random flashes of pain in my (knee) that come and go for a day
+the most sever fatigue (lasted for 3-4 days)
+decreased appetite (no weight loss at all)
+episodes of dry mouth
+kinda loose stool
+folliculitis on scalp (after I shaved my hair)
+frequent flatulence
+swollen gums in random places (kinda receding gums)
+tenderness in lower back (in one point only)
+4 days ago: mild pain in my armpit when I move my arm - the pain increased a bit (no lumps)
+3 days ago: some weird things happened to my skin:
out of nowhere, the skin of the back of my hand started to turn red (a little bit itchy) then it was getting bigger and stopped ( I drew a line around it to see how fast it is spreading) but bit stopped and disappeared after 40 mins
then I took a shower immediately - and the same thing showed on my neck, back shoulder, stomach then it disappeared in almost 40 mins as well
+2 days ago: a swollen lump right behind ear lobe (the mastoid I believe) tender to touch (no so movable)
------------------------------
today:
kinda loose stool, mild fatigue, the tender lump behind ear is still there, tenderness in armpit (no enlargement), a painless enlarged mobile lymph node (not sure if that's posterior or anterior cervical) (and I'm not sure if it was there the whole time)
------------------------------
info about me :
I workout (bodybuilding/ heavy weights) 6 days a week- i experience fatigue all the time any way (I don't know why)
I started getting my teeth cleaned (from tartar and stuff) two days ago because I had a lot apparently
I spend most of my time googling every single change occur to my body - I'm checking my all of my lymph nodes all the time...
I am so stressed out and anxious about the whole thing which resulted in bad quality sleep some times (not to mention the panic attacks)
Every page on the internet says smth different about hiv (the duration, the symptoms and their severity...etc)
I'm gonna get tested again two weeks from now
My questions are :
1) Is it possible for ARS symptoms to show one by one (in a 1 month duration) ?
2) Is there any chance that this could be something else other than HIV (I hope this is mono or smth else)
3) if I am hiv+ (I hope not) am I a fast progressor (considering the mild gingivitis and folliculitis on scalp)
I apologize for the long post
I need answers PLEASE
Thank you in advance
I love you :)

Protected sex is a safe sex practice.
Congratulations on your negative , remember only test can tell the truth but never the symptoms.
HIV has no clinically defined symptoms.. it always mimic to other illness , so testing at 3 months can reveal the mystery which you have already done so.
Stop worrying about it.

I will. I'm waiting for this window period thing to elapse...
The only test available where I live is ELIZA that means an extra month of anxiety and self-diagnosis (which helps a lot !)

My answers are short because giving too much detail at times can confuse people and with the amount of questions asked daily and amount of time I have to do this, I need my answers to be short.
Yes I have been asked them over and over but my answer is the same for all of them.

According to how short your answers are Mr. Vance2335, it is clear that you have been asked the same questions over and over again...
I'm gonna get re-tested two weeks from now (and maybe one more time the next moth) and I'll post my result (which is gonna be negative- I hope) as it is so important for other people experiencing similar symptoms and anxiety...
Thank you... :)

The oral sex part was unprotected (no ejaculation)
Plus recently I noticed:
1) That bruises and even minor cuts and injuries (like scratches form my cat) take a long time to heal...
2) Shotty lymph nodes in my groin and armpit + kinda enlarged lymph nodes in my neck (posterior cervical + under jaw + behind ear)
so maybe what I'm betting on here is only mono, right ? (or a combination of other infections, weird timing and a coincidence) :(
Forgive my anxiety and my endless questions - I'm sure you can understand what I'm going through... especially knowing that there is no way for me to afford hiv treatment
Thank you Mr. Vance2335

If you will, I have follow up questions:
1) Other than mono is there any onther illness that would cause such symptoms(considering the severe fatigue and night sweats and the painless enlarged lymph nodes)?
2) I found out later on that person B's last potential exposure was an unprotected anal sex on 04/03. Will your answers to my previous questions change?
3) Also, will you change your answers if I told you that I had never had such a mix of symptoms before ?

Condoms are the most effective way to prevent HIV and STDs.
PrEP is used by people with high risk to prevent HIV infection.
Can I get HIV from surfaces, like toilet seats?
Can you get HIV from casual contact, like hugging?
Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
2) Yes because you had no HIV risk
