Odd symptoms
Well in January, my partner passed away, he was HIV+. I was tested 3 days ago and my test is Neg. I have had unprotected sex since Jan. last one was in the beginning of April, but nothing in the past few months. I have watery diarrhea for about 2 weeks now, and weight loss other then grief I don't know what else the weight loss could be from. I don't have fatigue, and no fever, no swollen lymph glands. I don't see any rash like they talk about for HIV+ symptoms, other then the diarrhea and weight loss. I do not have, or have not had any night sweats in months. I do have slight pain in my upper abdomen, comes and goes, I do sometimes get legs cramps but I think it is from the dehydration from the diarrhea. this has happened in the past, for me lasted about a month, I was so scared but it went away about 5 years ago. So my main question is do you think It could be HIV? that I have to wait longer for a test result to come out poz? I also have geographic tongue, BUT I have had that all my life and its always been bad.I have been tested for any STD, as I do have some discharge from my penis, BUT the test results all came back Neg, including HIV? I have been put on Cipro. 500mg twice daily, started yesterday. The discharge is thick grayish white. Only comes out in the mornings. I guess I should go to a different forum for that BUT just all the symptoms I have been having. Just looking for a second opinion on this matter is all. Thank you for you time.
Then I suggest you make your threads clear when you post. If you never had unprotected sex with him then you don't need testing. Had you had unprotected sex the testing guidelines are 3 months post exposure.
No HE was neg, My partner was Poz, and we always had protected sex. after he passed I met another guy in April. He was Neg, and also, why is this 3 month long wait period, I hear 3 months, I hear 30 days I hear 6 months, I even hear 1+ years before you become Poz, before it shows up on a test? Also, when people are concerned about their health there is no need for smart *** comments either. We are trying to get answers about our health not get ridiculed.
