showing HIV symptoms

I used to come to this forum many months ago, cuz i thought i caught HIV due to the symptoms i was having, i now know they were due to herpes and not hiv. Now with the dumbest luk in the world am back scared as ever. The prob is i recently had a condom failure with a girl and since then i've been getting the very same symptoms, except fever. Soar throat, muscle and joint pains, headaches, neck pain and one gland in my neck swollen for a couple days. i also got a diahorrea for one day but it may or may not be connected to this. Here's the thing, the girl also has herpes but due to the fact that i already have antibodies for it i shouldn't be gettin those symptoms which have been going on for 2 weeks now. So its not herpes, then what cud it be!!! Am really afraid. What else cud cause those symptoms?

This is definitely HIV, well i dont think so, this is anxiety, stress and depression pretty sure. You can think whatever you want and live your life in your own way, but there is no logic in linking very very common symptoms only to hiv, you know what you have to do, TEST just wait for the 6 weeks to have a 95% accurate result ans then at 3 months for conclusive, then we can start talking about if its definitely HIV or not. the odds are really high on your favor

Good luck

After a couple days of headache and then two days of intense migrain, headache stops. No other noticeable symptoms except dull joint pain all over.This is definitely HIV. I feel like am just waitin for my death sentence on tues. what a horrible life. Whats worse the guy who cheated on my partner gave her herpes and cheated with more than one person.

No more "what ifs" because they just show your anxiety level. First off most people wont ever show any signs of HIV anyway.

Did you tell the doctor about this sex epsode? If so thats clear reason for her to take STD tests.

I dont think anyone is destined to catch HIV.
