Need of Attention! Could I have AIDS?
Posted: 12-12-07 11:48am

I can't imagine how many times concerned people present their specific situations. Please spare a few minutes to hear out mine and comment.
I am a man who may have encountered a unprotected sex act with woman in the at-risk group. I have no information wehter she is HIV +/-. I used a condom but am not sure if it broke due to the intoxication(alcohol) level I was in and am ashamed of. If it didn't snap I guess my enormous stress level will just get me sick, bu if it did break... I took a 6 week test which was negative. Acknowledging the facts that it as one contact, woman-man, the 6 week test negative, can I sleep calmy I can't now plus I keep getting symptoms. I can't tell you wether stress related or due to my weakness caused b all the symptom causing stress before the test... I wouldn't bother if not for the fact "freaking out" is a light term considering m state.
Anyone competant to a opinion, please speak up.

What type of HIV test you had?
Which symptoms you are experiencing?
When exactly did you start to feel sick?

Thank you for a reply.

I think I had the standard anti-body blood test. I've read about tests. I'm guessing this would be the ELISA?
You most likely know the symptoms are very common for even the flu. I've been feeling very weak, had a few serious headaches which is rare for me. I also felt I had swollen lymph nodes of the neck, but the doctor didn't see anything. The groin a little bit but he said that could be from any cut on my leg. (???) I know I felt them pulsing. The problem is my close ones started telling me stress is causing these things. I myself am pretty disoriented!
For the record. I have been perfectly stable and healthy in the past. This the first time I am really terrified.

I started feeling sick not long before the 6 week margin. Althought the "symptoms" aren't lasting the whole time. Its like one leaves another one comes...

I know how this sounds. Like a person panicing for no reason. Although I really feel weird, am scared and wouldn't be bothering with it without cause and true uncertainty. I might not just be able toput it in words 1:1.

I just read my post title. I meant HIV not AIDS. Sorry.
