Hi my question concerns what I may be symptomatic for...Or could all this be stress....
Please send to appropriate forums.
Hiv may be one, but Ive had differing opinions....some say no and others say my skin conditions spots and marks are variable. Can it be anything else...
Please advise if my symptoms could be any other STD...
Or if this has been known to HIV.
Here goes
I put myself in a high risk situation with a Thai prostitute in Singapore and the condom broke. I stopped immediately when she told me....Ive been worried sick about HIV. She said she was ok, but was very blaazay
I foolishly had sex with my partner within 1 days. This was 3 weeks ago....I have abstained since
What is my partners likelihood of contraction if I had contracted 1 days earlier?
After 6 days we both had some gastro issues...Light loose stools (not Diareah), guts rumbling, much burping.
This passed after another 9 days.
My partner had a bloated stomach and sore spleen...after a week(I read this could be a symptom of HIV)
From about 12 days I noticed I got a few more dark coloured marks resembling moles. Its seems more than usual and some darker.
I have a mark to the right of my eye resembling a small rash.
Today (day 22) it is more red in colour seems about half size of a quarter coin, and still there.
My partner so far has no rashes new moles, or marks spots like me.
I also got a large ulcer in my mouth afew days ago (around day 1
, which my partner also has.
It seems to be going now....but Ive had a lingering argh cough and my throat is ever so slightly sore when I swallow on one side.
My partner so far, has no rashes new moles, or marks spots like me.
Some small pimple (but not) spots have also appeared. 3 Red dots on my shoulder...theyve been there nearly 2 weeks. Not a pimple and not a boil. Blister Like
Its hard to tell if my glands have been up...One is now on the side of my sore throat Im worried sick...Its been 22 days...
In my research on the internet some say this is possible HIV symptoms. Some say not.
Is it more distinct or could it be Hiv...
Could this be another STD?
So far I did not get any large rashes itching, or pain when I pee, or large spots on my penis, or any bad flu after exposure.
Could it be other STD even though no spots or discharge on my penis?
I will get tested for all stds,
Could my mark near my eye for 2 weeks and small pimple things on shoulder be stress?
Ive been worried sick. Any words appreciated even though I know I must get tested in a week 28 days...and again later.
If this is indeed HIV then would my test next week show?
Please advise worried to the bone...and wont know how to live if I passed something severe onto my partner
Thanks for reading

You have done very well waiting and good for you for abstaining when you did.
If you do a HIV blood test in 30 days from the day of supposed exposure, the test should be able to tell you if you have HIV or not. Whatever the case, please do another test after 30 days to conclude the results. You seem to know that which is awesome.
I get the feeling that you are more worried about passing the virus to your partner than anything else. I recommend that you see a counselor to help you deal with that.
There really are no symptoms specific for HIV/AIDS. It could be stress, it could be an std. Really the only thing to do is to get tested which you are planning to do.
My recommendation is that you see a
and explain everything you have explained here.
You can research, but don't let it get to you. Maybe you always had pimples but never realized. The only reason you realize now is because you are analyzing every little thing happening. That in itself can be stressful.
Please let us know about your test results and try and relax and do something about the guilt you carry concerning your partner.
When I was first told I had AIDS at age 24 in 1993, nobody told me that from hence forth, I should use a condom. When I came to Canada and realized how the virus was spread, I looked for those people I could reach on line and I told them I had the virus. That removed a burden in my heart. I had to deal with it in my heart for those I could not reach. It is a heavy burden to carry thinking
that you might have infected someone. I feel you there.
All the best
