Possible ARS - Very very scared

Hi Doc

I have had a sexual expierence with a sex worker on the 23/11/11. I performed oral sex and i have bleeding gums. 2 weeks later i had a terrible head ache which lasted a week and is persistant until today.Could not eat for about a week. Lost some weight. Was feeling tired for a week and had chest pains but now much better. Had a repit test 2 weeks which was negative.Developed a rase (itchy) around late December on the inner thigh area and is slightly fading now. Recent sore throat but not hsectic however feels like i cannot sollow sometimes. My neck hurts but i am not sure if it was lymph nodes which only lasted about 2 days without swelling. I had another rapid test 25 days later which showed negative but i still feel very terrible and scared. Whats worst is that my wive have had diarrhea a few times now, slight headaches and lower back pain for about 3 days.She also complaining of being very tired recently. I am so scared that i feel i have every symtom within the ARS timeframes. Not sure what to do, going insane. Please share some advise

I have looked at the post you are talking about in POZ and I have to say his post and test results, in  my opinion, just don't add up.  

Sometimes, people post things that aren't true and also on internet forums sometimes people lie about who they are, what they know and what they do.

Take it all with a pinch of salt.  

I believe Teak also advises on POZ, maybe he has more of an idea about what is going on with this poster but beware of what you believe.  

He hasn't given any 'evidence' of his status except to say that he is POZ, this follows many many anxiety driven posts from him.

Thanks guys ,anyway yesterday the wife came from work feeling terrible, troat was sore and very tired. went straight to bed and slept. I woke up last night with my entire body numb and a inflamed lymphnode at the back of my neck. When the wife got up this morning she complained that het neck was so sore at the sides. Freaking me out and beginning to accept that i might have contracted HIV.....Now thinking of every way to see how i will find the courage to go on with what i might of done. I honestly know that there is something wrong with my body ,weird things are happening. Chest pains,headaches ect.
