Q: Midlife Crisis At 20. Hiv Window Pains.

Im going to tell my story: let me know if these symptoms in sequence seem illogical or not like hiv.
Ok, so went to doctor checking for another std. Girl I had sex with claimed to be "spitting blood", he said this was a sign of aids or tb. Freaked out, got her a rapid test. Negative. The next day I started noticing symptoms. Tightening in my throat. 2 days later: receeding gumline and nightsweats. 5th day or so I noticined hard lymphnodes in neck and groin. All this time I had loose stools. Ok, so I started to realize that this was most likely due to anxiety. One month after possible exposure, I talk to her, find out she's had a sore throat for almost a month, just got over "the flue" has sever headaches, and is fatiuged all the time. I never get headaches. Last one I had was when I was 12. Today I had a headache from the moment I woke up until now... 1am. Also, I feel sort of out of it... Hard to focus wierd blurred vision at times. I know I may be experiencing these symptoms because of guilt/anxiety but... Jesus they are all too real. Talking to her and finding out that she's experiencing these symptoms freaks me out even more because she non-chalant about it. Oh just to note: this girl is permiscous ! 12 guys in the last 3 months, 2 she met over the net and got paid $$ for sex. Yeah. Im scared shitless. The reality of this hits me sometimes where I think I must be hiv positive, and then this feeling subsides. But in general I am really stressed out about it all; these symptoms are all too real, and ive experienced a lot of them. Its hard to know which are due to anxiety and which could be possiblle symptoms of ars. Anyone - would like to comment on the situation, feel free.

Well I know u probably came here for support, ive never been in your situation..........But u knowingly had sex with some one who had sex with guys through the net for money? I think firstly you need to be more careful with who you sleep with and secondly go see your Dr......She might have a different std and even if it isnt hiv you should still be treated

After the Fact
She told me that she had sex with 2 guys for money after I freaked out about what the doc said, her possibly having hiv. (didnt make me feel any better either!) ive seen multiple doctors. All tell me to wait until the 3 month mark for a definitive test and then again at the 6 month mark for absolute certainty. No headaches today. I think I was drinking too much diet soda and not enough water. Eh, paranoia! (i try to just think im crazy rather than hiv poz...) anyone in a similiar situation and want to talk? U can hit me up on aol instant messanger sn name: asudjbliss
