Go for the test to clear all doubts and believe me, many people here have d virus and it isn't the end of the world. I have people with it and dey are doing fine. Even people in government so defeat the fear and go for it. it is usually free and fast in government hospitals

Viking007:
And You think trusting total strangers to "guess" what's wrong with You is much better than going for a test?
Okay.

dangotesmummy:
what are the early symptoms of hiv ?

rasie:
Pss: For all those that will eventually advise me to get a hiv test, save your advise. When last did you do yours? Yes i know that the only way to be sure is to get tested but c'mon guys, una know how e be na.

INTROVERT:
Why not save all of us the stress and just go do blood test.

Help me ask them. I know that's what they'll comment that's why I forewarned them. And if you ask them ,they haven't done theirs. I know how i felt the last time I checked mine (before the result came) .and i don't like that feeling

The thing is:i'm scared shitless right now. For the past few months I've been having a monthly series of flu sickness. I mean every month for over 5months now. The one I'm currently experiencing now has just got me very much scared. Below are the things I'm experiencing now:
- Flu(whooping cough and catarrh)
- Sleepless nights
- Loss of appetite
- Weight loss
- Body vibration
- Tiredness
- Stooling (Diarrhea)
- Headache
- Fever
I've read about the fact that most of the above are possible symptoms of the hiv virus and anytime I think of the possibility of me being (i can't even mention it) ,i just feel like dying. Yes I've been living a very promiscuous lifestyle and its more reason for me to be scared of doing a test. Although I've done it before in 2014 and it was negative but since then, there have been a lot of sexcapades. Which brings me to my question directed to doctors or health practitioners : "Is there any other sickness that can be related to those symptoms above apart from Hiv? "
To those with the virus already I'd like to ask: "Did you experience something like that before you were confirmed as positive? "
Ps: I treated malaria last month by the way.

The incubation period is 10 years. The early symptoms are usually less serious, like sores and other simple infections that can be treated. But your symptoms are draining you of alot of nutrients and energy, you better get treated.

(Am not a doctor though)

99% of people on this forum ask questions they already know the answers to.

You don't want to go for medical checkup, and you already know that that's where the professional answers to your questions about your health would come from, either good news or bad news.

And by the way, you've got no right to demand that no one asks you to go to the hospital, because you made a mistake by coming here to look for information that you can get at the hospital.

...[s]when you were giving your fvck you didn't give any to us (not that we needed it). So now that your Fvck-giving-escapades has landed you the only place it can land you, why disturb us[/s]?

M not a doctor, but I don't totally agree wit u, 6 month is enough for symptoms of HIV to appear. In some cases a month while in rare cases 10 yrs. I don't think is all cases that is 10 yrs. I might be wrong tho. And fever is one common symptoms.
Op u should go for a test. I know its scary but it's d only way to know.

Empiree:
Yes, some of the symptoms do have same traits of possible HIV but it doesn't mean you have it. You are wasting your time, buddy. You could have used minutes you used to type this for physician visit. Go and check your blood my friend before you drop

zizirecords:
I am also a doctor and can provide some advice.

As my colleague above said, there is no other option but to get tested. Particularly because some of the symptoms you mentioned are psychosomatic in nature i.e. your mind and fears causing real physical symptoms (yes it happens!)

That being said, there are many things that may be responsible. Do you get dizziness as well? Feeling light headed? Like you will fall down if you are in public? If you have all these symptoms I have mentioned, then be happy. Your problem is more psychological than physical.
