I can't believe this is happening to me.
Had a one night stand with protected vaginal sex (penis became flaccid during intercourse --- condom did not fall off). Also had some gingivitus / small sore on my gums / and had deep kissing, and minimal oral sex. I also have HPV / warts, although the breakout ocurred about 3 years ago.
Didn't think I was really at risk until I look back now at symptoms that began 35 days after exposure:
I'm really screwed:
Day 1:
1 papular rash lesion on upper torso (did not see them anywhere else)
1 Episode of diarrhea
Day 2:
Low grade fever after drinking considerable alcohol the night before
Day3:
Felt fine
Day 4: Low grade fever after drinking the night before
Day 5: Malaise
Day 6: Malaise
Day 7: Felt fine
Day 8: Low grade fever after drinking the night before
Day 9: Low grade fever continues
Day 10: weakness and malaise
Day 11. body temperate seems below 98.6 then higher in evening
Day 12: symptoms are over
Is there any other possible reason for these symptoms. I had been travelling that month and had been stressed. I am hoping that it is possible that this is not HIV, but judging from these symptoms, if it's not, then it's some other life threatening disease, and not just a flu.
I'm planning on getting tested next week, but before this, I am trying to plan how I'm going to cope. Going to bring anxiety and anti-depressant medication to the testing site (i have never taken medication before).
I am hoping and praying for mono or aseptic meningitis. These symptoms are just too coincidental.
So scared.
