Regular flu symptoms VS HIV flulike symptoms

[healthbuck]

whats the difference between regular flu symptoms and hiv flu like symptoms? is the HIV flu like symptoms much worse where you would need to see a doctor? how can the doctor tell the 2 apart?

so what do you think caused her strep throat? thats where my worry lies. do you think it may be due to stress?

Well there you go,it was all in your mind then.As soon as you received a conclusive result your mind and body went back to normal,it,s amazing what stress can do to the body.

Thanks,I also had a massage and had diarrhea for 3 months.I went to doctors and medicine did not work for my diarrhea,until I tested negative for the three months my body back to normal
Stress really weird

The Hiv virus becomes inactive and therefore unable to infect you as soon as it is exposed to air,neither of you had a risk.

but theoretically if she did had blood on her hands what is the chance that i may be infected, saying she is hiv+? im uncircumsized btw.
I also want to know about this
if the blood on her hands and exposed my penis hole.Is ít a risk?

ok i need some reassurance that i and my girlfriend dont have hiv. at least with her as she seems to get sick a little often than usual. about a month(09/12) ago she came down with a cold. took medicine and she was fine. now just sunday (10/16) she has developed strep throat and tonsilitis which is painful to her. she developed a high fever and chills. now she is on meds again. now (10/17) she is having night sweats. ive read that persons with possible hiv exposure develop opportunistic infections whenever the immune system is greatly weakened. she never had strep the last time that we felt bad which was in july.

now this turn of events is making me more nervous that i might have exposed her to the virus although i never had intercourse nor oral sex with the asian masseuse. just her masturbating me, nipple sucking and fingering(not penetrative). i described in my earlier post that when i was touching the masseuse's vagina there was extremely little(like tipping your finger on a semi dry tongue) to no vaginal fluids on my fingers when i touched her nipples and sucked them maybe in a space of 10 secs.  i didnt notice any blood on her hands when she was masturbating me. she used lube or oil and wiped her hands with it prior to her giving me a handjob. nor was she lactating or had sores or piercings on her nipples. she was a 45-50 yr old asian lady.

but theoretically if she did had blood on her hands what is the chance that i may be infected, saying she is hiv+? im uncircumsized btw.

or could a smidgen of vaginal fluid still pose a high risk of hiv infection compared to like a 1/2 teaspoon of vaginal fluid if ingested?

or what about breast milk? just theoretically how much of the milk i need to ingest to be infected? i do have mucus settle in the back of my throat all the time. read that hiv is possibe if it enters the mucus membranes.

or could my girlfriend's recent bouts of illness be stress related and im just over paranoid? she has been complaining about the work load at her job. ive read that stress could cause the immune system to weaken greatly. it could be her stress levels but i just need reassurance that its not due to hiv.

thanks greatly and not to be a pest to you mods.

No risk.

---i ask this because a few months back i visited an asian massage parlor and got a handjob. the masseuse was about 45-50 in age. i did not participate in no sort of intercourse nor oral. i fingered her but not inside of her vagina but touched her clit and outer lips. it was dry to the touch because i looked at my fingers. no moisture. or if there was moisture is was extremely little.so with those same fingers i rubbed her breasts. so in the heat of the moment i sucked on her breasts for a few seconds.

---then a few days after the event i made love to my girlfriend. but almost a month later we came down with flu like symptoms. i had throat pain along with headache and earache. it lasted for 3 days the most. my wife came down with headache, earache, throat pain, fatigue, joint and muscle pains. her symptoms lasted a little longer. we got antibiotics.
---we had no fever, no swollen lymph nodes, no night sweats, no diarrhea, no vomiting and no rashes. you know the major symptoms of HIV.  we were able to eat with no problems just throat pain.
---my girlfriend thought she had dengue fever. she took the test and it was negative. the doctor told her that it was just a viral infection that was going around the country that was not dengue.
---was my incident with the asian masseuse a no risk situation? just need to calm my nerves.

You are not diagnosed as having had ARS until you have received a conclusive positive test result.
