Military87:
I am waiting for your result. I won’t advise you do rapid.

RTSC2:
I seriously hope so, my brother.
Though I remember that when she was wearing me the condom, she pricked me with her long fingernails, though I didn't see any injury sha.

Just that the flu symptoms and body aches I am having is making me scared.
I don't know if it is anxiety or unnecessary antibiotics I am using that is making my tongue to go white.

Sex is not worth all this stress at all.

Zola77:
just pray all will be well iam in my last 5 months 2 weeks still having neck pain and fever hoping to go for my last test for 6 months...hope you took prep drugs a mistake I made after the girl I met tested negative @military87 @skripture how body

RTSC2:
I am having all the normal flu symptoms and a slight red rash on my left cheek just three weeks after last protected sex.

Through what made me started thinking was because I had washed my hands 30 minutes after sex, and any vaginal fluid may have washed with water into a wound on the top of my hand.

Currently taking drugs for malaria and typhoid though I am not sure if that is the problem.
I am waiting for 4 weeks to do an HIV test.

God help me.

Military87:
Amen bro. This mouth ulser keeps on coming, two more now. Do you see blood on them. Mine has bloods on it.

Military87:
That’s true. You know next week you going to be negative. My prayers are with you, and like I said go to a general and complain well of the ulsers and every other symptom. The nodes should not bother you, they don’t even give me headache as they are not painful, just the ulsers and dry mouth. If the tongue like it should glow. So long it doesn’t discomfort me.

Military87:
I should not use that guys(the link I shared you)comment to make a general conclusion, but do you think the guy was actually positive? And if yes. He tested negative at 3months mark using an anti body test
Only a western blot( which by the way is no longer used for hiv screening) could pick it up.

Military87:
You got it wrong here too. They were cases of health workers who tested positive after the three months mark. I saw few persons on some groups who tested positive after three months mark. One complained of having severe dehydration during those months, the other talked of non stop sore throat( skripture I know you saw that post too, so it’s not like I am scarring you). The point is they later did after 3months and showed positive. And I learnt some strain of the virus are not easily picked up by anti body test, don’t know if such are found in west Africa. Sometimes the bad news is better than waiting for the news. Only few will understand this.

Zola77:
OK iam not a medical doctor to argue this but we have doctors on this thread and they are mute please doctors what is your take on this issue.....abeg throw more light one thing let's be optimistic all will be well

Zola77:
it will be well I believe same result a least your test will give us hope we that are at 5 months....According to research it has never happened except one has exposed himself within that seroconversion time....so just chill all will be well I think not sure its a normal STI....just do it if you don't your mind won't be at rest

Military87:
they gave me some pills back then. Can’t remember the names self, but didn’t help. I still have them come and go.
Next week makes yours six months. So you are good to go. Your test will give me hope. I moved to anambra yesterday, met a new doctor told him of my ordeal. He told me to do a whole bunch of test including HIV. I told the lab man to remove hiv own. Doctor said cause of my white tongue(this doesn’t bother me self) and dehydration can’t be found and no test picked up the ulser thing(even after seeing sores in my mouth). He just gave me some drugs for malaria. Didn’t bother buying them. I am done with this. Will wait till month 6.

Military87:
At least you know my fear. It’s all good. They said 3months is conclusive. Some said 6. Let me be waiting till then.

hidhrhis:
I also had my first sex on Sept 6 2017 some weeks after I developed so many symptoms:white tongue, sore throat, rashes, catarrh all symptoms u can think of excluding diarrhea I was extremely depressed,scared,sad based on the fact I've being dating the girl I had sex with for 2years before I had sex with her though she wasn't a virgin but I was a virgin
secondly when I told her about going for HIV test she blocked me and never call ior pick my call again so the paranoia started
I did HIV test in seven different places including laboratory,teaching hospital,general hospital,private hospital which totalled 38 HIV test including Elisa test,rapid test now calculate from Sept 6 2017 to this time I'm still negative so if u test at 3 and 6 month please forget it coz I've passed through the same stress
I did the test at 7 weeks, 3month, 6month, 1year, 2year which totalled 38 HIV test I did all other std test and I never had sex since then that was my first and last since then though I have a girlfriend but to use condom again dey fear me cos I use to think what if the condom break I will have to pass through the same stress of two years ago
some of the test I did back then
you all should put your mind at ease

Military87:

Military87:
I had swollen glands on my groin as well. Two of them, they brought out pox, it’s like those ones after shave. Just that they were bigger and lasted longer. I literally had all you had. After 6 months like you said rest. The rash was what made me give up. Babygirl thanks for the encouragement Tor.

Military87:
thanks babygirl1990. I don’t know if I should be the right person telling you this but if it’s all those things you mentioned up there. Then you are good. Let me break mine down a little so you see why I was scared. Two girls in 10 days. One later complained of not seeing her period on time and had To go to lab. That’s a symptom of HIV Incase you not aware.madam please do HIV test she refused. If she did or not and was positive she didn’t want to tell me. The other didn’t even answer me, see diarrhea o. Sore throat was for like three days, if I didn’t know what fever is I knew that period,I almost died, I slim once, muscle pain as is well as joints, bad pains, abdominal pains too. My cough lasted two months +. And then rashes all over my back.and I was sweating at night, my then girlfriend had to wake me up most nights to tell me pour water on my body, and in the Mornig I will be shivering like someone they poured ice water on. And out of no where I started having injuries on my mouth( even now). And next thing my neck started paining me. This one was so painful for close to two weeks. Then I noticed a something like a boil on either side of the neck(nodes) it’s still there till now
I have seen all the doctors for proper treatment one drug to another. I don’t think all this is psychological and I have never experienced all this in my life before now.
Well you all have try. Scripture can you please say your own story as you are the only one who feel what I feel. We have finally stolen OPs thread.

Flukiragz:
( Is bitter tongue and headache enough to be called fever?)

I don't have any case against HIV.
Its just that the level of risk I am taken dis few weeks and the symptoms I have been going through have made me paranoid.

And it's not just my mind messing with me. Dis Symptoms are there.

desoul2004:
Bros, I Wonder why you're giving yourself unnecessary HBP, why not treat the sickness and forget about being positive or negative. Men doesn't contact the virus so easily as you think, according to one doctor.

Military87:
I can’t be so sure, but I don’t think you have HIV. The worst mistake I made was googling symptoms. Truth is even the most common of diseases google makes a big deal out of it. No rashes, no sore throat no fever, those are mainly the accute symptoms of HIV. I experienced all what I listed and worst more. With that said. I had to go to another general hospital today. spoke with the doctor they keep on saying they can’t do PCR unless one is positive, I suspect it’s a difficult test to conduct or something, on my way out I stopped and did a test where those people who take routine test do it(yet again).
They told me to wait out for 15 minutes. The lady did the test for like 8minutes I was waiting. I saw something was wrong from out outside I was staring. She took more sample and did it again. Called her assistant, this part I got scared. They had to get a new kit and did the thing again and confirmed I was negative. Simple PCR test not like it’s free no one wants to do it. Emotionally I am Bleeped. I can’t even think straight anymore.

Flukiragz:
Bro, thanks.
Not really done any test apart from HIV, HBV(hepatitis), malaria and typhoid.
It is d purging, indigestion, headache, loss of weight that is making me worried.

I haven't experienced rashes or fever or sore throat.

What freaked me out and is still freaking me out was when I typed diarrhoea on google, the 1st thing that popped up was diarrhoea was a primary symptoms of HIV and ever page I read, they said, diarrhoea is caused by either bacterial or viral infection.

I did an HIV test today( still negative).
I will go for the PCR test tomorrow.

Flukiragz:
This two weeks have been hell.
I have been a wreck emotionally.
I had to tell my bro and sis about what I have been going through.
My bro doesn't really care but my sis had to move into my room and have been encouraging me to stay positive.

I am always online googling about HIV.
I have gone for HIV test 3 times and I have carried both of the girls I had unprotected sex with last week Saturday(31-08-19) for test.
All results came out negative. But, it is too early to judge.

I had sex with the 1st girl, 7 weeks and 2 days ago, and,
2nd girl was exactly 4 weeks ago.

The 1st girl i had unprotected sex with, some other guy also had unprotected sex the same period.
The 2nd girl have not been with a man for 4 years.

I have been purging for a week now(food doesn't stay in my body), I don't have any appetite. I am also suffering from indigestion.
I have lost weight.
I have spent money for the tests and my treatment.

God would bless my sis for me. She has been a shoulder 4 me to cry on.

Military87:
i will enquire but i doubt. The Lab attendant also called antigen/anti body test confirmatory.

Military87:
last bet should be western blot test then. if at week 24. still negative. where can one do the western blot. with all them quack medical facilities here.

Military87:
on medhelp right ?
and seems the HIV 2 which is mainly found in sub Sahara Africa is somtimes undetectable. i still didnt get why. some authors mentioned something about this happening when the test kits being used is meant for just HIV1. another quick question does our kits here check for just HIv1 or both ?

if i turn out negative. i will see my doctor again. if he says trash and give me normal drugs. i won't take. i already am used to this poor immune system of mine.

Military87:
main symptoms stops. These one are just minor. opportunistic i think. i came across a few pages where some persons were negative to antibod test after 3months but positive in the western blot, despite anti bodies being negative.
The truth is HIV as an infection is complicated. These doctors make inference from what they have seen and is common. what if you turn out negative what happens

Military87:
they tend to use 3rd generation test. so no need asking. sorry i laughed. they dont even know the generation so need asking. i just got two more injuries in my mouth. fingers crossed.

Military87:
lol bro please. i didn't

Military87:
why are you bothered about the nodes. they not visible. i only feel them when i touch them

Military87:
yeah. seems they meant to take drugs today. i saw the the line on the strip. are you still experiencing anything

Military87:
counting with weeks is dicey.12 weeks is same as 84 days. but one might not be able to track it easily. hence the 3months mark as thats easier to track. so just try keeping it at 180 days(90*2) it makes the whole thing more accurate. i also did a rapid test again today. still negative. saw PLWHA they looked healthy. its not a death sentence after all

Military87:
feels like i am talking to a reflection of myself. with all this symptoms i still don't get why the kits still negative. And in most of the sites online if you see how they were bashing all those who turned + after 3months. that they were lying and all.
