Anxiety gives sores?? I wake up to new injuries all over my mouth. With obvious oral thrush too. The fever Is there. There are symptoms anxiety don’t cause.

It could be a low immunity that has nothing to do with hiv.
How much do you eat fruit?

Skripture:

I thought symptoms are not supposed to last this long. I still have sores in my mouth and sore throat.
It's definitely not anxiety
Did you test for mono and EBV?

i didn’t. Didn’t see the need to. Besides mono heals on its own from the little I learnt(not certain about this)

Symptoms last long sometimes. I already stormed across stories of people who kept on having mouth sores, sore throat and the dry mouth. Till test finally showed +. I hope I ain’t scaring. Those rashes just burst in all over my back and arms again.

what month are you right know the PCR is for few weeks antibody/antigen is the best but it won't detect the virus directly...what other test is recommended....even if you do PCR they will ask you to confirm with antibody/ antigen

PCR is useless right now. Same with antigen(already did it at past 3months well it was useless then). There should be a test that can completely rule it out instead of waiting till month 6.

I felt like sharing so others will learn, this might also create awareness as I feel a lot isn’t done to educate people about the insidious HIV.

I will try to be as brief as possible. Sometime this year I had a fling with a girl, I have always been careful as to use protection when I ever I have sex, unluckily for me my condom broke, I realized this immediately and pulled out, got a new condom and continued, wasn’t up to three weeks or so I fell ill, malaria like symptoms and all, during that same time I started having some hiv symptoms like.

Had to go for a test it came out negative, this was around week 4 or so. Despite this test I knew I was positive, I just had the feeling I was, the doctors and lab attendants were just playing it down, no disrespect but most lab scientists here have really poor knowledge on HIV test kits and all.

bro please I need your help badly concerning the HIV stuff please what are the symptoms that you saw before you discovered that it was HIV..

I've messed up my life.
I had sex with a Ghanian girl residing in my neighborhood. Precisely 3 weeks after the sex, I was symptomatic; flu, sorethroat, severe stooling that lasted for a day, rashes on my neck. Whitish tongue.

I've been so scared to go for test! This is 7week now.

** My friend had sex with the same girl, and he's not symptomatic!

Did you do it without condom?

Men doesn't get infected so easily, unless you've wounds in your dick. That's why you'll always see a positive pregnant woman but the man remains negative, even when both of them are not aware of their status.

Ronaldo24682:
So I had to do another test at week 6. This was when the test picked up the virus. I will try to educate people here with the little i learnt, maybe it will help for those who wants to learn.
We have two different types of hiv test kits. One test for both antigen and anti bodies this one picks the virus as early as two weeks, and results comes out withing days to a week, with a window period of a month(meaning by a month and your result shows negative then you are free). The other checks for anti bodies alone and this one picks the virus withing a month for few people, mind you for few people and most people at three months as that is when the body might have produced enough antibodies for it to be detected. And the latter is what we use here in Nigeria, where finger is pricked or blood drawn and the result comes out within 15-20minutes.
The bad thing here is we are not well informed about the window period and seroconversion( period when one is turning from negative to positive and takes as long as 3 months in most people and 6 months in some, meaning your result might show negative yet you are positive) and all that, I advise you google this, due to this lack of information people go about thinking they are negative and go about infecting others, until the sickness has progressed to a later stage where they start falling sick.
My piece of advice is ensure you use condom( and pray not to be unlucky like me, the girl who gave me has no idea she’s infected ) if condom breaks there’s what they call PREP, it’s a medication used within 72 hours after exposure to prevent you from catching the virus if your partner is positive.

please is my mouth whitish does it mean am having HIV or is just a normal reaction and also my left chick and my ear � are swollen it as been 4days now am scared of it hope it's not an HIV ..

What would you say about my symptoms? They're there, so lucid.

Once your immune system is down you're bound to have those symptoms. It must not be caused by HIV+.

i am guessing you have not gone yet. Just do it and zero your mind. Something must kill a man. At this point to be sincere I am wishing it’s hiv. At least I know what’s causing my sickness and I start medication than this one. If you see my back and arms now you will pity for me.
