Real risk, real possibility.
hmmm...i don't know where to start. i understand how obnoxious it can be to hear so many people complain about symptoms, but i am at a real risk, and im scared.
april of last year i had unprotected sex, though there was no ejaculation, shortly after i was diagnosed with clamydia, hpv, and trich. i guess i was ignorant about stds, i've always been in a monogomous relationship, figures the first time i stepped out of one, i'd get something. i was really embarassed about this. i didn't have anyone to turn to about the situation. my mother and i are very close, but she would have judged me.
during the beginning of december i felt an uncomfortable feeling in my spleen and liver. this for me was the "end all" if you will. i was already paranoid about HIV but along with all the other pain i felt, this made it feel real, as it still does feel very real. my symptoms are the following:
joint pain, swollen node on back of my neck, i think my tonsils may be swollen (i've never had this feeling before), weird feeling in my right arm, white stuff on my gums, and muscle pain. the splenic pain still persist. i jusst feel so alone in this situation because i have never even told anyone about contracting the stds, and i am afraid to be tested since i've had nearly every symptom and std.
i notice my lymph pain even more when i smoke marijuana. this is all distracting me from my studies. to make matters worse i read a lot on trich and how it increases transmission of hiv, if exposed. i feel like all the stats and signs are against me...im feeling down.

I smoke weed also and it definitely will make you paranoid. Just stop smoking... at least until you get this situation under control.
thank you for your answers, they were appreciated. like i said, i never told any any of this, and it felt good to have a release.
I have to tell you that the risk might have be seen as low, so far, I have had all ARS symptoms along with a flu or cold like illness at late December and another one at late January. The evidence its just overwhelming.

She works as a stripper and she says she does not have HIV plus that "she gets tested in a monthly basis for HIV," but, after I started having all symptoms I told her about it and she said she was going to come with me to get tested. She did not obey me and did not get tested in my face. The truth is that she is avoiding the testing, she also had sex with my friend and probably infected him too, and if hes infected his girlfriend is also infected because they have unprotected sex. I will sue the stripper club for false salubrity control and prostitution after I arrive there with a seropositive test. This is outrageous.
Do you know if your gf is HIV positive. Just ask her to take a test. Don't just assume you have ARS symptoms.
Whats up with MJ and those painful things? I was having a lower backache by about a month ago, probably due to lymph nodes swollen in that area, and when I smoked weed the pain just got bigger and hard to ignore. I got diagnosed with Typhoid Fever, supposedly it was that, I was having all the symptoms of ARS, but now Im really not sure if it was Typhoid Fever because recently I had a cold-like by a week ago and now it seems that all my lymph nodes are swollen, I looked up on my upper back and I have a rash. I think I got misdiagnosed Typhoid Fever and I was just going through the beggining of ARS, however I will get tested on Sunday because tommorrow it's my birthday party and I dont want to mess my mood on that day knowing Im HIV+. I have to add that I used condom on the sexual act but probably got the virus through kissing( we both have braces, her braces might have cut my lips). I am one unlucky *******.
