Dear Sirs,
I am sure this question pops up every day. I have reviewed the answers and questions and i am afraid that i got. HIV.
19 Days after having unprotected sex with a high risk prostitute I experienced epiglottitis.
This is caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b (HIB), though Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and group A beta-hemolytic streptococci.
The above are the typical virus that causes Pharyngitis.
I have also read that People with depressed immune systems may be more likely than others to be affected.
I was hospitalized for 5 days during which i was given corticosteroids and antibiotics.
HIV testing was Negative
Viral load test was undetectable
The Dr advised that my lmpyhonodes clinical test was ok
placquets count was ok normal
and blood white cells were normal.
STD tests were negative
During the five days stay in the hospital my temperature was 38.2C to 38.6 C. (100.76 to 101.48 F).
During the 5 days hospitalization I couldn’t eat and had
lymph nodes were non inflamed
No Fatigue
No Rash
No Headache
No Lymphadenopathy
No Nausea
No vomiting
No diarrhea
No Oral ulcers
No Genital ulcers
I was discharged on a five day course of antibiotics, and a reducing scheme that lasted for 12 days of corticosteroids.
Upon discharge of the hospital I started to develop
Diahria that lasted for one week.
A rash of small pink raised pimples heavily concentrated on by my forearm (biceps). I also had them scattered on my back and my belly (very few).
A week after discharge I experienced flu like with coughing an little sneezing
My questions are:
Since the testing was done 19 days after exposure, then HIV test is not conclusive.
Further more, as I was on corticosteroids and on antibiotics during my stay, could this suppressed the Viral load test? ( I understood that Viral load tests are high in patients with Acute HIV)
Now the 6 weeks period to test is on the 27th and I can not wait this much can you please advice?
