Hi
I'm a 22 years old female. Exactly 9 weeks ago(01 Oct 2017) I had unprotected sex now I'm freaking out that I might have hiv, I got tested at week 5 came back negative but the symptoms keep persisting mild muscle and joint pain, constantly tired, I've been sneezing since week 5/6, swollen lymph nodes (I also had a sore throat at week 2 but that cleared out within two days) I have irregular periods (I'm on contraceptives) so I don't know whether that could be cause by them, a mild rash,on and off headaches, irregular bowl movement, pain all over my body and my body is constantly stiff. Could my symptoms be due to stress/anxiety or hiv. Planning on going for another test at week 10 cause I can't wait that long
I'm freaking out please help
The pill can have side effects,
To put your mind at rest go for a further test and make sure of the result.
Could it be something else caused by unprotected sex.
Sometimes HIV does not show in the initial test, although this may be quite rare depending on the when the incident happened.
Get yourself check for other sexual infections, you will move on faster as you put your mind at rest.
Be careful

There are other types of sexually transmitted disease that are not as serious as HIV. Make sure you get tested for all of those.
Please please do not have unprotected sex! It’s not worth it.
You owe it to yourself to protect yourself always. ❤️
Hi,
Sure you have an infection, i dont think its HIV. Just try to increase your immunity & improve your gut strength to regulate your bowl. 80% of infection starts with stomach, so if you take care of your stomach, rest should problem should solve.
Thank you so much, I will never put myself at risk like that, planning on going for a follow up test in a weeks time
Okay, thank you. I will be going for my second test in about 1 week from now
