Do I Have HIV? These are my symptoms?
June 28th, 2010
Matt102 asked:
I recently had *** with my ex gf and she has had her share of *********** as well since we broke up, A few days after we had *** i came down with severe panic attacks, anxiety, depression, insomnia, acne breakout, tinnitus, high blood pressure and i lost maybe 15 pounds without trying, I didn’t vomit or have a fever and don;t recall having diarrhea either but i did experience a lot of nausea, these symptoms lasted about 2 months and even today I’m battling migraines and anxiety but it’s been 2 months now since it happened.
I also had blood work done afterward but never told my doctor about what happened so i don’t believe he tested me for HIV

Go to your doctor and get tested. HIV is a very serious disease. But I dont think you do because if you did you wouldnt be showing signs so soon after having ***.
SHIRLEY
You probably have small **** disease !!!
Kevin
Go to the doctor. A bunch of people sitting in front of their computers can only do so much.
Sue
i heard HIV symptoms dont really show up until months later. get tested and good luck!
Sharon
It sounds like HIV,possibly……..,You need to see a doctor for a second opinion.
Peter
Your symptoms wouldn’t show up that soon, but it sounds like the fear may have gotten to you. Why haven’t you been tested? That’s the ONLY way to know for sure. And why did you have unprotected *** with her if you knew she got around?
Claudia
No friggin’ way. HIV has cold symptoms, and it doesn’t get serious until ten years after contracting it.
Take an HIV test, or try to donate blood, they’ll give you a free test.
Luke
HIV is a serious and life threatening disease. I suggest you go to a doctor and get tested rather than posting in an online forum.
Joyce
probably not but don’t have *** and get tested. look up free hiv tests in your area. you usally dont get them symptoms of hiv for quite some time more than two months. you are most likely over stressed

Most people will not get symptoms when they are infected with H.I.V. If you do get symptoms, they will generally show up anywhere from 3 weeks to 3 months after infection and feels similar to the flu. Swollen glands, fever etc. The best and most responsible thing to do is get tested. Don’t be scared; H.I.V. is not the epidemic it once was and is generally more prevelant in the ********** community. I’m not trying to tell you you’re safe, just telling you the current facts!

You prolly have syphilis or gonorrhea….

Bright side – very unlikely that you have AIDS. There really are no symptoms associated with being HIV positive, and the symptoms you describe don’t jibe with those of AIDS.
Not so good news – You have a lot of symptoms, and assuming you don’t do any drugs, namely meth, your problems seem to be mostly psychological in nature. panic attacks, anxiety, insomnia, weight loss, nausea….all related symptoms that may be tied to generalized anxiety disorder with anxiety/panic attacks.
That doesn’t account for all of your symptoms. Anxiety doesn’t cause tinnitus or acne. Don’t depend on advice from anonymous online posters. For all you know, we are all mouth breathing knuckly dragging morons. Consult either your family physician or a psychiatrist. If you don’t have insurance, pony up the dough for a one-time consult with a psychiatrist as I suspect if you went to a general practitioner first, they would refer you to a psychiatrist anyway and you would be paying for two visits.
Meth abuse is a potential cause of a lot of those symptoms, so if you are doing it, stop.

most, if not all, of your symptoms sound like it stems from anxiety. i think you worried way too much about contracting HIV from this person and made yourself physically sick. but be on the safe side, and definitely get tested to find out. i believe you can go donate blood to find out if you don’t have a doctor you can go to.
