Q: Hiv, Mono Or Std?

Hi,
My name is Michael and i'm 17 years old. About three months ago (April 17th) I had sex with a guy (experimented, didn't like it and found out i'm not gay). I kept getting told by people that maybe I was nervous etc etc so I wound up sleeping with him a total of three times, the last time of which I bottomed. He didn't use a condom, but it hurt so bad that I made him pull out after a minute. I made him take me home and when I woke up I tried to use the bathroom and felt I was swollen inside. Two days after I had sex with this guy, my mom and brother noticed a red outbreak all over my neck and my lymph nodes were swollen, but it went away after 2 days and I never thought about it again.

A friend online told me that I need to "douche" myself out right away to cleanse the tearing, so I did the stupid thing and got a bottle of water and douched my anus out a few times in the bathtub. After I did this the swelling went down and alot of blood came out of me. I was bleeding and I had diarrhea for 6 days. I was swollen inside for a few weeks until I tried to do an enema on myself with an actual enema kit. I did it once and it helped me, then I tried to do it the next day with a diluted hydrogen peroxide mixture and I started bleeding again. I kept feeling myself fill up with blood and I had to run to the bathroom every few minutes. This again lasted 6 days. The swelling returned and I had trouble using the bathroom until I got suppositories. They reduced the swelling dramatically and I felt much better.

Being afraid of getting a GI infection, I started eating alot of garlic and taking coconut oil (antiviral, antifungal and antibacterial properties). I also took food-grade hydrogen peroxide every day along with 1,000 mg of vitamin C. I planned on doing this for ten days, but on the 6th day (which happened to be July 17th, the 3 month anniversary of having sex) my mom (who didn't know about everything that happened) game me some niacin. Two days after I took the niacin I felt feverish. I had my mother and brother feel my forehead about 20 times that night and they told me that I didn't have a fever, so I layed down in bed and felt so hot that I had to get up and walk around. I felt like that for awhile until I drank 20 drops of hydrogen peroxide in water and it went away.

Then I remembered how my lymph nodes were swollen, so when I was in the shower I felt my neck and it actually felt swollen. . .I felt for the lymph nodes between the leg and groin and sure enough on the left side my lymph node was large and swollen. I immediately got scared and researched swollen lymph nodes online, and all it kept coming up on was that it could be HIV or mono, and that I need to be checked right away.

I got paranoid and I noticed the next day the nodes in my neck and above my colarbone were swelling up, and it felt like my throat was closing up. I got a feeling of "malaise," I was very depressed, I lost all my energy and I got into depression. All i'd do was look online about my symptoms and each time I would feel worse. Then when I felt tightness in my left shoulder, and I happened to look and saw a rash on my shoulder. My mom looked and saw two red streaks further out on the shoulder and said it looked like i'd been scratching it, though I hadn't. I showered and it went away. Later we went to the store and I felt perfectly fine until we were in the parking lot walking up to the store and my shoulder felt "hot," so my mom checked and saw that not only was my shoulder red, but my chest, shoulders and now my left arm were all red. She told me it was an allergic reaction.

(I know i'm typing a mouthful here. . .sorry if this is impossible to read).

I was really scared about this, and then I noticed that I would lose all energy until I ate. I wasn't' yawning but I just had absolutely no "spirit" to me. Then when i'd eat i'd feel a bit better. I was like this for a few days until it got worse and worse. I lost my appetite completely, I had trouble moving my bowels. . .I had to force myself to go and like two little pieces would come out and they were all black with light brown spots. I began feeling alot of pressure and gurgling in the upper left part of my stomach right below my rib. I took a few heaping teaspoons of Fiber Sure, and this produced a bowel movement. Then I drank down some warm water with lemon juice and this produced alot more solid waste (none of it was black).

I felt pressure in my upper stomach and I felt very depressed and without energy until today. I researched and found most of the depression, loss of appetite etc could be a cause of candida crisis (all the garlic was possibly killing candida and parasites and I wasn't eating anything with sugar in it).

To cut through the chase a little bit, I feel amazingly better today but then I started feeling a little dizzy. I figured this is because I hadn't aten much, so I ate quite a bit of junk food. . .I got a little dizzy until I took chromium and then I felt alot better. I was shaving when I nticed red marks on my neck again where it's swollen ont he left side of my throat. . . I have no idea if this'll help but here are a couple of pictures:

At this point I have no idea; It could possibly be mono, it could possibly be HIV, it could possibly be bacterial, it could be some other virus, etc. I noticed last night my brother started coughing and choking on phlergm and my mom started today. I have no idea if it's related and if I gave them HIV or something. If anybody woulc possibly deciper my extremely long post and help me out here i'd appreciate it. I showed my neck to a local pharmacist and he tol dme he's never seen that before, and that it isn't normally a symptom of cleansing.

Thank you,
Michael

Sounds like you have a lot of symptoms. Unfortunately, we cannot diagnose you over the internet. This sounds like something you should definitely see a doctor about. The symptoms of HIV are very similar to mono and various other infections, so it's really tough to say what you might have. Even stress and worrying can bring on a lot of symptoms.

Since this guy did not use a condom, you could get tested for HIV and other things just in case. Many people have STDs without showing any symptoms at all.
