Q: Hiv Infection?

Hi

i appear to be the most unlucky person ever. 10 months ago I was diagnosed with genital warts after a sexual encounter with someone (we did not have full sex as I did not want to catch anything and we had no condoms!)

at the time I was checked out 10 weeks after the occurance I had everything checked including an hiv test which came back negative.

Since then however I have been having what appear like light night sweats every couple of weeks for a few nights at a time. Could this be a sign of hiv infection. After doing a bit of research online I see that a rash and mouth alcers can be a sign of serconversion, around 12 weeks after the occurance I got what appeared to be prickly heat and some mouth ulcers while on holiday, could this have been something more sinister?? I also have had some itching which I believe may be a mild case of herpes?

I have found my hpv diagnosis so difficult I do not think I can face going back to the clinic.

Thanks

worried!

Symptoms of the lack of symptoms are not hiv specific. If you had unprotected sex then you need to be tested 13 weeks post your last risky episode. If you are having signs or symptoms of anything, see your doctor.

You sound fine donnster80 . I see no need to test unless its life threatening.
