I gave and received oral from a guy six weeks ago. Lately I've been feeling warm(No fever), fatigue, headache, muscle pain. I went to go get tested and came back negative ( oral test). I been reading alot about hiv. I'm so scare, I been depressed and Anxiety. Help
You are very low risk at catching hiv through oral sex , and all ur symptoms could also be major anxiety , it is frightening waiting to find out if I have hiv or not I hope it works out well for u
First thing you are not alone to think like this. I am in the same case for the past 15 months, no answer. But i am feeling better now. If you are tested negative and your symptoms are persist, it is minor issue dont think and research much.
Just try to increase your immunity.
Hi please don't work your self up! this is all probably related to stress!
you tested negative for a mouth swab test? u was giving/receiving oral? chances of catching HIV through oral activities are very unlikley.nearly like 0% please please stop worrying mate i was in a terrible state of thinking i had HIV!
im still going through symptoms now because the stress i believe had taken over my body and i am recovering!
all of these symptoms was signalling HIv! 6 months later negative!! whoopie
but i have damaged my body beyond repair at the moment seriously if you dig yourself to a hole as deep as i did my body is so unbalanced because of this i have oral thrush,swollen glands,rash,loose stools! (still) 1 year later after exposure!
please dont go down same path as i did especially since this is a very very very low encounter! just be careful ask if the person is safe, and had been tested recently.
Hi Joop,
Just see reiters disease, if it is related.
hope this helps
reiters disease can combine with ebv/cmv and candida it will destroy the immune along with stress.
Ya I've been feeling all the symptoms, I just have to wait till the end of August
Hi ashyam, is there any specific testing for this? im 21 years old andthis is arthiritis am i correct?
i don't think i have that but i am going to do my research on it and see what tests are avaailable
thank you for replying!
You're fine jon!
I understand fully how you're feeling and if testing again will put your mind at rest please go for it! but i can tell you now if these symtoms are still present after your second test (which will be negative). will you still be worrying its \HIV?. ive gone to doctors/etc nd had same results and thought it was false negative but testing these days are so accurate and the information on the internet is so out dated. even i let myself believe doctors/ were wrong.
its horrible going through this and its a life changing experiene and will learn from this. as i have and will be more careful with who i meet up with.
can't play russion roulette with our lifes. i felt like i was going to be positive and was so depressed from it.
6 months off severe stress does so much to your body.
im still recovering now. please take this in im probably around same age as you.
can i ask what symptms youre experiencing?
your tongue look anything like this? (you said you were feeling symptoms)? wasnt specific on which?
If my test comes back negative, i will no longer think it's hiv. 4 weeks after the oral sex I had with the guy, I started to get scare, stress, and depress. The symptoms that I started feeling were
*body was warm(No fever)
* sore throat
* strange fatigue( body felt numb)
* headaches.
No my tongue dosent look like that. These symptoms lasted about 2 weeks. They're gone now. While I was feeling these symptoms I went to go get check( 6 weeks after exposure) and came back negative. 26 more days, and I can go get check again. He came in my mouth too....
Hi Joop,
Looks like you have yeast infection. Normally this goes by its own. try to take anti fungal foods. Like raw garlic, ginger, black pepper in your foods.
hope this helps
Hi Joop, please keep posted on your research. I am over 15 months from the day of exposure. Symptoms exist.
Hello ashyam, are you a male? or female? was your risk exposure high?
what are you dealing with at the moment? are you still testing for HIV? after 15 months?
Again. no need to worry.
i would just take this on the chin mate this event has no reason for you to be concerned.
altough i have researched, you can catch yeast infections from sexual contact. in turn makes you drousy can do all sorts of things to your body. im still really suprised about my tongue though. i am stil worrying whats going on but i know its not HIV. doctors and any sexual health nurse/ would just tell you and myself to stop worrying and really it is the best thing to do.
i dont know whats up with me maybe the ammount of stress from believing i was HIV positive for nearly a year has unbalanced my microbes and immune system. but thats jut a thought.
ive not felt sick. at all though just swollen glands. rash on face. and thrush? as everyone says it is?.
im not taking medication no longer as antibiotics are not any help at all.
biotic actually means (life) and the word anti means (againts)
anything that unbalances your bodies bacteria will make you feel unwell
ive not felt unwell at all except the symptoms above. (this is 1 year now exactly 1 year yesterday).
my neck can be hard to move sometimes becuase my glands.and front of my throat.
got an ultrasound on my neck again i had one last year but they just never bothered with it as theyre mildly swollen but it shouldnt be taken into account like that. they hurt alot sometimes so gonna get them checked again.
anyway jon. no need to worry my friend. hope you start feeling better
only medication i took was nystatin and diflucan? nothing worked!
im a strong believer against medication but it was so bad and now im just waiting for what it might be? tick hiv off the box?
Thanks man! Idk, everything online saids i should be all good to go, and I'm praying that i am. Im about to start school and all. I don't need this. On august 28 i can go get tested again....
Hi Joop,
I am male, my exposure is oral recieving by a sex professional in thailand. exactly 15th Apr 2016.
after 2 weeks had diarhea, night sweat, throat infection, dry skin, dry mouth, mouth sore, mild fever, hand and feet numness, dizziness, fatique, muscle pains, head aches. back pain, joint pains, ear ache, penis yeast, belly button yeast, white tongue, IBS, gum infections, neck sore etc...
tested until 10months exposure for 6 times, all std's negative, i ruled out hiv but still symptoms persist. Like throat infection for the past 4 months, mouth sore on and off, cold, numbness etc.
still looking for answers.
And you came negative on hiv? I gave oral though, and came in my mouth.
well you and me are definitely negative. i have had thoughts of testing again but there isnt any need to.
i should mention to you have you tested for mono,strep? all those symptoms above you stated mono and strep can cause this.
im seeing a gastro soon to have an endoscopy and colonoscopy to rule out any stomach issues as alot of our immune system is in our stomaches. and alot of gastro problems cause oral thrush from my knowledge,
your sexual encounter is another very very very low encounter and these symptoms arent related to HIV.
alot of the symptoms you are experiencing like ibs etc alot of our negative thoughts and anxiety takes its toll on our bodies and runs us down so low we dont function right.
u guys are fine trust me.
defo should drink alot of water eat healthy and try to see a specialist get referred make it clear to doctors what is going on. and just tick HIV off the list.
it honestly is the worst going through this im still batteling symptoms a year later from august 2016.
just oral thrush and bad digestive system a rash which is atually no longer here but it comes back.
glands in neck are hurting alot today so is my bottom left abdomen where my bowels are.
im gonna get a neck ultrasound on the 11th august. i had one last year around same time and glands are still changing size and swelling up daily.
i dont know what it is ive got lumps inside my tongue too 3 of them and my tongue feels really heavy too.
they feel like cysts, if i drag my teeth across my tongue like clench down on both sides and drag my teeth downwards i can feel them. also if i feel them with my hands.
dunno whats up but seems like stress has done this to me. i was never like this untill the experience i had with same guy for around a year we was meeting up but like i said suspicious whatnd i was going manic really depressed, never felt sick though. just achy sometimes thrush glands swollen etc etc
ive completely unbalanced my body i think and im totally over this but the thrush is really what makes me go back to the hiv scenerieo even though i know its not HIV its just my anxiety and mental health is lowering as my health is too.
mad isnt it.
hope we all start to be are normal selfs again. im sure we will find out whats up. its best to just nto worry now ashyehm for HIV that is.
u need to start looking up monteralhealthygirl *youtube* very insightful lady i dont follow everything its just good to know what natural ways of getting healthy and its working i dont take antibitics never jabe never will it makes us worse and is what makes us go back to the doctors in the first place.
