Guys, dont bother, wat u have been infected with is not HIV, but CANCER OF THE SCROTUM. Thank your stars

It is rather surprising that despite all the enlightenment programmes on HIV/AIDS you're still ignorant on how to prevent transmission of the infection.
The first step is to avoid unprotected sex. Use condoms for casual sex. All sexual partners must be screened for HIV infection. The risk of transmission of HIV infection through sexual intercourse is about 1/1000. For a person that is newly infected, it takes about 3 months for the rapid test to be positive.
In conclusion always know your HIV status and that of your partner before commencement of a sexual relationship. Abstinence is still the best way of prevention. Mutual fidelity is another option. However, whenever in doubt, proper use of a reliable condom could prevent transmission of infection.

@wolverine
u r hilarious

@ehie

honesty they say "is the best policy". The dude forgot he left some tracks that could be traceable. He came here to paint a different picture. I hope and pray nothing bad comes out of this and he tests negative. But sometimes, the truth might help to set you free.

hope he has learnt a valuable lesson.

Does the phrase "second chance" ring a bell?

true

As a nurse your symptoms seems to be some other form of STI's. You are normally asymptomatic during the early signs of hiv. The headaches, pains, fever, thrush can be signs of symptoms of many things. Go get a blood test and test for all sexually transmitted infections

You can't have hiv after 18 days of intimate intercourse it will take months. You need to tell your dr to give you some anti biotics and make sure you finish every single pill of that medication.

Better get anti retro-viral to keep alive. There is no duplicate to life man!

You really have yourself to blame. How could you have casual / unprotected sex with somebody you barely know. Anyway, have you written your will? When you pass thru the pearly gate, send my best wishes to my mama thru Saint Peter.

Bro No worries. Fear of the mind will only make you feel ill and even worse. You have konogorea and it can be cured

Bros, stop putting yourself under stress. From your explanation, the possibility of HIV is low.
You never can tell, the girl might be telling you the truth.

Seriously speaking I fit mud the babe of it happened to me

It's hard to understand what you wrote but I think you are saying that you have not actually received a positive test yet you want to sue someone for infecting you with the virus. Are you sure you are alright. It looks like you have already driven yourself crazy.

hmmm OP,
I hope you are not lying!

are you referring to me striptease girl? Am not HIV+ I always play safe and I wouldn't sue anybody who purposely passed the virus to me I'd do a lot worse.

i am AMAZED at the amount of "seemingly" intelligent NL brothas/sistas who have absolutely NO CLUE about this disease.

most people will have their first symptoms (generally flu/mono like symptoms) within 2 to 4 weeks after initial exposure, sometimes even 1week. this period is called PRIMARY/ACUTE HIV INFECTION. these symptoms will last from a few days to a month and then disappear (or not) BUT it doesnt change the important fact that this may be confirmation that you have the disease.

symptoms include:
FEVER
FLU
FATIGUE
MOUTH ULCER
DIARRHEA
STIFFNESS
SKIN RASH
NAUSEA
VOMITING
HEADACHES/MIGRAINE
SORE THROAT
SWOLLEN LYMPH GLAND
etc

within 2 to 3 weeks after exposure, a NAT/P24 antigen test can give a positive result (way before the common antibody test)

also, if someone is indeed careless and have s[b]e[/b]x without condoms, there is a HIV "morning after pill" or PEP as it is commonly known (P[/b]ost [b]E[/b]xposure [b]P[/b]rophylaxis). the window period for it to be effective is within 72 hrs after exposure (but the earlier taken the better) and it can surely save your life. this pill is mostly for people working in areas where there is a higher chance of being infected like hospital etc but members of the general public can also buy it, if they believe they've been exposed to the virus. its a cocktail of 2-3 pills  taken for about 4weeks. although it is NOT cheap, better be safe than sorry.

[b]EDUCATE YOURSELVES BROTHAS & SISTAS

@poster
there is ONLY one way to confirm if a person do have the disease or not, and thats by getting a POSITIVE test.

you are putting so much energy on blaming/punishing the gal while you should focus on whats POSITIVE here. stay strong and enjoy your life rather than spending the little energy you have in blaming others, who clearly dont give a damn about you.

surround yourself with people who care about you and BE STRONG, look at all the time you have already wasted assuming the worst when all could be just a wrong assumption.

I just remembered this thread, was the OP really serious? Damn
