[quote author=Melvin0 post=81779466][/quote] I'm in the same situation with you. I've had exactly the same symptoms as you've had. Tested up to 5 months. still negative. 3 weeks from now I'll test again when it's 6 months from exposure. I'm convinced already it's HIV. Mine was also a broken condom incident and i didn't realize too quick. Asked her if she's clean she said yes(who wouldn't say so?). Had to convince her to test again because she travelled back to school a day after the sex. Sent me a negative strip two days later on WhatsApp that she has tested again(i wouldn't be too sure). I would have been convinced i was negative if not for the swollen glands on my neck and the mouth sores. |

Skripture:if its just the white tongue it wont worry me. but the sores and periodidic dehydration i take 4 sachets of water some nights. if she showed you the strip then you should be relaxed. one of the babe told me she had an infection and couldn't see her period let her do test she refused. the other didnt even pick my call at all. nodes still there. if i finally go through this and by miracle its negative anything sex i am running. 2 Likes |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 9:18am On Sep 02, 2019 |
Military87:You know it's possible for her to be infected and still show negative, right? So, i'm not really convinced with that. I just don't see any miracle happening for me i swear. Have you gotten your antigen/antibody test? |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Nobody: 9:36am On Sep 02, 2019 |
Skripture:sure it came out negative. but checking for antigen now is of no use as antigen level drops after sometime(a month plus or so after infection ). so its only going to check for anti bodies. Did you experience rashes as well, what about the dehydration thing. i might be traveling to SA soon. the doctors there are better. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 9:52am On Sep 02, 2019 |
Military87:Had rashes on my forehead for about a week. Just had dry mouth but not really dehydration. Also had mad abdominal pain. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Nobody: 9:58am On Sep 02, 2019 |
Skripture: Mr you don't have HIV, keep calm and do STD test later. No need mentioning what you have, just do STD test. Most likely all viral infections have same symptoms, and most aren't serious since they are acute in nature. And with the mad abdominal pain look out for Hep B or C. But good enough u might clear it off in 6 month. 1 Like |

Military87:Sure, i will do that. Wishing you the same in your successive tests. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 10:28am On Sep 02, 2019 |
stinflame:. Hopefully it's not HIV. This has been the longest 5 months of my life and i wouldn't even wish the anxiety and trauma i've been through on anybody. I did STD tests 8 weeks post exposure and it came back negative. But I'll redo it. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Nobody: 10:33am On Sep 02, 2019 |
Skripture:Don't just run stds test, be specific to the lab guys.. Tell them the onces you suspect. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 11:07am On Sep 02, 2019 |
stinflame:I did tell them at the lab the symptoms I've been having and they did urinalysis, hiv and hepatitis |

Skripture: If so then chill.. And go close to God.. He will keep your mind busy. |

Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 6:25pm On Sep 02, 2019 |
Trendy247:I believe these stats were made based on ugrade in testing methods, which OP said is not rampant in Nigeria because we still use the old testing methods. That is why emphasis is placed on testing at the end of the 6 months mark. I've been browsing through medhelp and they seem too confident on the 12 weeks test, based on the tests they have there. What kind of test do we even use here. Almost every lab uses rapid test and nobody even knows the generation of rapid tests these things are. 1 Like |

Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Nobody: 12:02pm On Sep 03, 2019 |
Skripture:oh that. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Nobody: 9:26pm On Sep 03, 2019 |
Skripture:so true and to stop one from fidgeting they just tell you three months. But some still emphasise on asymptomatic people testing at the 6months. if only i tested - at 5months i wont be bothered self. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 3:31am On Sep 04, 2019 |
Military87:Lol. You'll still be bothered bro even if you test at 5 months. I was a lil happy when i tested at the 13th week only for the anxiety to start all over again. Even if i miraculously test negative 2 weeks from now, I'll still be skeptical about it sef. Men the symptoms no be childs, they were too convincing. 1 Like |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Trendy247: 6:58am On Sep 04, 2019 |
Skripture:Are y still having the symptoms? |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Nobody: 7:57am On Sep 04, 2019 |
Skripture: so true. the symptoms were so so glaring. i just gave up already. if only theres a test that can completely rule it out. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 9:48am On Sep 04, 2019 |
Trendy247:Still have the nodes swollen and the ulcers in the mouth comes and goes. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 9:50am On Sep 04, 2019 |
Military87:Heard the PCR or something like that actually looks for the virus and not antibodies. But then, i've read that it's not the ideal test and antibody test beyond 3 months is the standard. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Trendy247: 9:50am On Sep 04, 2019 |
Skripture:Mouth ulcer or ordinary whitish tongue? |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 9:55am On Sep 04, 2019 |
Trendy247:Actually it's both. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Trendy247: 10:00am On Sep 04, 2019 |
Skripture:OK, I think you should just go to any hospital that make use of 4th generation test strip n do the test so u can relax ur mind |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Skripture: 10:08am On Sep 04, 2019 |
Trendy247:Okay, I'll do that. |
Re: How I Got Infected With HIV by Nobody: 10:37am On Sep 04, 2019 |
Skripture:its reliable when newly infected. viral loads drops after some time too. |
