Q: Another Scared Person

Hi first of all I have to say that I have been living in fear for almost a year now. That's the last time I have had unprotected sex with my boyfriend and then we broke up. Now we don't communicate at all and I can't ask him about his health. Since than I have had two awful colds. I haven't had diahrea or fever. My blood test results came normal except something in my urine. I am scared to death taking and hiv test and I can't tell anyone for support. Also I haven't lost any weight, but I have a strange taste in my mouth for some time, I got tested for bacteria in my mouth but the results came back negative. Please tell me if these are syptoms for hiv. Thank you

No they are not symtoms of hiv. You probably have nothing to worry about. Go get tested already.

I can only conclude that you have been worrying without any reasons. There is no reason to get feared for getting tested , unless you walk into a clinic or testing center which askes abruptly for an identity. Just research on a voluntary testing center that specialises on hiv testing and treatment in your area, and talk to a counsellor if available. They will treat you with care and emotional support before advising you to get tested. They will also not ask you for your identity as that is a mistake by law.

Do not go to conclusions by symptoms. I did the same mistake as well, and got relieved of all stress and anxiety only after I tested myself. So bring the courage to yourself and feel human. After all we are all humans and we do mistakes now and then. I do not know what religion you observe. But I will surely remember you in my prayers for a deliverance.

Regards and prayers. Kiklis2k

Hiv has no apparent symptoms and it may sit dormant for many years or no time at all. Best bet is to go get tested.
