Hello, about three years ago I did
something very stupid and had unprotected
sex. I have thought nothing of it until
the past couple of months. I have been
consumed with the thought of having hiv,
constantly worring about it and terrified
to take a test. I really have had no
symptoms until I started worring about it,
so im not sure if its just in my head or
what, but I have heard that joint soreness
was an early symptom, I have had soreness
in one knee, but it is not a constant
soreness, everyonce in awhile I will have
dull pangs of pain. I was wandering if
anyone with hiv ,or a doctor, or just
anyone close to someone with hiv that can
tell me what kind of joint pain, if there
is a specific kind, I should be looking
for.
Thank you

I think you alreaady know the answer to
this, you just want some support to do
it.
Go to the dr & get tested don't waste
your life worrying about every little
possible symptom find out & deal with
whatever the result is.
Joint pain can be caused by innumerable
things, sleep position, moving the wrong
way in your sleep or during the day,
knocking your joint, pinched nerve, cancer
in that joint (& here is another
reason to get tested & get the joint
pain checked out ) if it's cancer &
you get it early all should be well but if
you leave it becasue you're worried about
aids you'll end up dead from
cancer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I need to just go head and get
tested, and I do plan on it very soon.
But one other question, actually now that
I pay more attention to the pains ( it is
really just more uncomfortable than
painful ) but they are also in the middle
of my bones sometimes and not the joints
but not at the same time ever, and I also
heard that hiv related joint pain usually
occurs in the larger joints, is this true?
Plus it does'nt hurt when I move or bend
the joint at all.
Anyone had the same things happen to
them?
Thanks

Did you ever go get tested. I am HIV+ and
have never had the symptoms you describe.
So what happened if you dont mind me
asking??
