There was this girl I had sex with earlier this year
She called she was HIV+ now I'm sick got treated malaria and typhoid and I'm experiencing racing heart beat and weakness of the body.

I'm super scared I'm at the point of getting tested I don't actually know if it's HIV cox I don't have any signs written on Google only a carter and it's dried not a running nose.

What should I do? The thought of it always comes back I'm scared.

Re: Does It Mean I Have Hiv by AngelSlay: 6:28pm On Oct 27
First, take a deep breath. I can understand why you're frightened, especially after someone you had sex with told you she is HIV-positive. Having that information while you're feeling unwell can make every symptom feel terrifying.

But please remember this: you cannot determine whether you have HIV from your symptoms alone. Having sex with someone who is HIV-positive does not automatically mean you contracted HIV. The only way to know your status is to get tested.

Let's take this one step at a time.

1. Please get the racing heartbeat checked urgently

You mentioned that you've been treated for malaria and typhoid but are still experiencing a racing heartbeat and body weakness.

These symptoms can have several causes, including an ongoing infection, dehydration, anaemia, or other medical problems. Anxiety can also cause your heart to race, but you should not assume anxiety is the cause without being assessed.

Please seek medical assessment today. If your heart is racing right now and you have chest pain, difficulty breathing, feel faint, or experience severe weakness, go to an emergency department immediately.

2. Get an HIV test as soon as possible

Because your former sexual partner has told you she is HIV-positive, it's important to establish your status rather than continue worrying and searching for symptoms online.

- Visit a hospital, reputable clinic, or HIV testing centre.
- Tell the healthcare professional when the sexual contact occurred and that your partner subsequently disclosed her HIV status.
- Ask for an appropriate HIV test and follow-up testing if necessary.

If the encounter happened earlier this year, you may already be beyond the usual testing window for commonly used HIV tests. The clinician can select the right test based on the dates and any subsequent exposures.

If you have had any possible HIV exposure within the last 72 hours, seek urgent medical care immediately to ask about PEP, medication that can prevent HIV infection after exposure. It must be started within that 72-hour window.

3. Please don't use Google symptoms to diagnose yourself

A dry or runny nose, weakness, fever and other common symptoms cannot tell you whether you have HIV. Some people develop flu-like symptoms in the first few weeks after infection, while others experience no noticeable symptoms. These symptoms can also occur for many other reasons.


4. What about the fear and constant thoughts?

Waiting to know your status can be emotionally exhausting. Your mind may keep replaying what happened and connecting every physical sensation to HIV.

For now:

- Stop repeatedly searching for HIV symptoms online.
- Tell a trusted person what you're going through, if you feel comfortable.
- Arrange the test and medical assessment rather than allowing uncertainty to keep tormenting you.
- Remember that fear is not a diagnosis, and your symptoms are not proof that you have HIV.

You don't have to solve everything tonight. Focus on getting the right medical care and obtaining a reliable answer.

Please answer these three questions so I can guide you more accurately.

1. When did you have sex with her? Was it January–March, April–June, or July onwards?
2. Did you use a condom throughout, or was it unprotected sex? If the condom broke, please mention that.
3. Is your heart racing right now? Do you have chest pain, difficulty breathing, dizziness or a feeling that you might faint?

Please answer honestly; I'm not here to judge you. Your answers will help me explain the next steps, but if the racing heartbeat is ongoing or you have any of the emergency symptoms above, please seek medical care now rather than waiting for my reply.

Nigerians are the biggest hypocrites in the world. You’re sounding like one.Always quick to judge. Can you swear that for the last one year you’ve not had unprotected sex?

When Jesus Christ arises over us as our King and Sovereign in Nigeria, he will provide simple home made cures for all the 'incurable' diseases plaguing our existence.
Re: Does It Mean I Have Hiv by Mathewrichard99: 6:30pm On Oct 27
Just gather some courage and go for proper test for HIV. Most often, people hardly get infected at just one exposure. Hiv thrives more during several exposure to an infected person but getting infected is based largely on your own immunity and your sex life pattern. Go do that test today Boy and lock up until confirming you are negative.....subsequently, wear condom, double condom anytime you have action...
