Need Urgent Help.Extreme anxiety.
I had unprotected sex with an unknown female at the time on 14 dec 06:00 AM *almost one month ago,no ejaculation,not brief.The next day i couldn't eat anything and barely sleep.Neither the further two days *i think i slept 13 hours in three days.The next morning i ate something and drank some coffee.I had diarrhea for 4 days in the mornings and a feeling of vomiting *couldn't actually do it,acute malaise,tired.This mood continued for the next days and i started searching for my lymph nodes in the neck many times a day.They felt swollen some of them but for brief periods of time.*convinced myself i had aids in the mean time and started to feel an urge of urinating frequently*5 times a day.I contacted the girl and she told me she was fine and that she will never talk to me again,started harassing her.No fever,no headaches.Some red dots on my limbs slightly raised,slightly itchy.Feeling of confusion,dizziness.
Loss 3 kg in the first 4 days after the encounter,weird feeling of butterflies in stomach and then abdominal pain.18 days after exposure right inguinal lymph node swollen*suspect LGV.no swollen lymph node in my neck or armpit,no fever.slightly sore throat.Took some xanax,began eating a lot started laughing.
Crying,depression,suicidal thoughts after. Took some strepsils for my throat,no longer sore...
Today HIV 1,2 TEST *i think ELISA- time after exposure 28 days;result negative;scale 0-1 result 0,29.What does 0,29 mean why isn't it 0? or 0,01,etc
Sore throat again.The feeling of throwing up persists when i get anxious.Right now i feel fine...except for a weird feeling in my right inguinal lymph node.
Please help and sorry for my poor english skills.

Believe me, u're just fine...... I was in your shoes 2 years ago. I was close to dieng for almost 6months and lost 20kg. I took a 10 months test and still couldn't let go, because I still have oral Candida.
If it weren't for the people on this forum, I would probably be searching the net and still not have my life back.
You must let go, you're anxiety is killing you and you're increasing it by being here reading this. Let go and have a life!

Went to the dermato-venorologist said it was no herpes or canker sore.Need to go the dentist...these coincidences are killing me... My throat feels sore sometimes and i have expectoration....It's pretty cold outside and it started after I had some cold tea...I'm just confused...how can one not think of things and just wait 2 weeks?
What does the number represent? Is there any standard number? The expected value should be close to 0 or anyone has a non zero value? Thanks for being here!
ok got that clarified too... i'll take a new test next week and the week after and so on... i would also like to take a pcr or a home test,would it be useful?
Also,I've got another fistula *small abcess beneath a tooth..I'm thinking of viral gingivitis...what tests should i do?
I made yesterday analysis for syphilis *negative, chlamydia *negative,acute urethritis positive.is it possible to have chlamydia but not be detected by a culture from a urethral secretion?
an antibody test at 6-8 weeks will give you a good indication of your status. at 8 weeks it would be unlikely to change...but in order to get the conclusive result...test again at 3 months.
Thanks again to all of you.Would a 'quantitative' HIV test be useful?I really don't think i could hang on for another 2 months.This month has been the hardest of my life. I never did such a thing and never will...
look mate you need to retest at 3 months, dont trawl the net lookin for answers, it will just feed your anxiety, believe me I know. the early symptoms are down to your anxiety not hiv, retest 3 months then move on
the source of your dental concerns is irrelevant. you had unprotected vaginal intercourse and can obtain a conclusive test result at 3 months post exposure.
you cant diagnose hiv by symptoms.
as vance stated...3 months post exposure for a conclusive result.

Thanks Vance.I forgot to mention that i developed very soon after the encounter an obsession for std's especially hiv.
