I started sleeping (unprotected) with a guy in early October who refused to wear condoms (he never came inside of me, but I realize that does not make a huge difference). We saw each other for a few months, and stopped seeing each other in February. About Two or three weeks after the first few times we slept together, I developed a ringworm on my thigh. I had never had one before, so of course it scared the crap out of me. I went and got tested approximately 54 days after the first time we slept together...around a week or so after the ringworm developed. This was early December. The test came back negative. I know about the window period, of course. DUring the course of time we were sleeping together, I did develop a cold-flu, but so did my roommates and coworkers, so I am not sure if it was because of flu season or hiv. I also saw the gyno when I was tested because I had a sort of- discharge that smelled different than I normally do (sorry that's gross) and she told me that my cervix looked slightly inflamed and gave me an antiobiotic. My tests, however came back clean. I will say that I am a serious hypochondriac and have basically been worrying myself to death for 5 months now. I learned a huge lesson, and I realize now how stupid it was to get caught up in the moment and allow things to happen without using any protection. I feel very stupid.

So, after this testing I slept with the guy one more time, and started getting paranoid all over again. Then, I started having this weird abdominal pain that kind of burnt, and at first I thought it was either Pelvic Inflammatory Disease or some sort of kidney problem. SO, I went to my gyno because I was in my hometown, and she said I felt fine and everything looked perfect. I started to realize that the pain was gastrointestinal. Ever since October I have been on a low to no carb diet and have notices that nuts make my bowels flare up the most. So, I thought, well maybe I just have IBS or something. Then I get a call from my gyno's office saying that my pap came back irregular, but not to worry, this happens all the time, and just to come back in 6 months and get retested!!!! SO now I am worrying even more, and I think the more I worry the more I have stomach problems. Then, I find out a close friend has a terminal illness and become more stressed out. Next, my hair starts breaking (february). I think, Oh its because I dyed my hair recently. But then I realize that its falling out at the root AS WELL AS breaking. Not in patches, but just thinning. I have always had very thick hair, and over the course of the last month, I have lost almost half of my hair density. I stopped taking Paxil for anxiety back in July, and things have stressed me out a lot more in the last few months than they normaly do. So, now, my glands under my neck are swollen, and my lymph nodes, and last week I had a terrible migraine with a visual aura. I am terrified. I know I need to get tested, and am going to as soon as I can get someone to go with me because I am so frightened to go alone if I have to find out bad news. I just don't want to find out alone. So, I just want any honest opinions. Does this sound like HIV ARS or some sort of post ARS or just straight up HIV symptoms?
