Are there any symptoms of HIV?

HIV symptoms! PLEASE HELP! Thoughts of suicide!?

  • Im trying to relax and stay calm, but im getting all of the early HIV symptoms and it's freaking me out! It's only been 3 weeks since I had unprotected sex with another male. He said he's negative, and he gets tested very often! But I been stressing so much about this because I have been getting early hiv symptoms like; abdominal pain, a headache that won't go away (I had it for 2 days),aching joints (neck, knee, ankles, wrist) and I have been tired even though I get a decent amount of sleep! I was told that HIV test can't detect HIV after just 2 weeks and that I have to wait another 3 months to know whether or not im infected because a negative result after only 2 weeks can be inaccurate! Im so nervous and im still thinking of suicide! Im trying to stay calm, people keeping telling me that these symptoms are a result of ANXIETY which I do have, but it just seems like something more. Anxiety and stress dont cause these symptoms! Im so scared i dont know what to do. Either the guy i had sex with is a great liar or dont know he has it... or these symptoms are... i dont know! Im so scared because i feel sluggish and think i have something! This the biggest mistake i ever made and i dont want to die! I just think i must have something if im feeling this way! What is the chance of me having hiv after only one unprotected sex experience?

  • Answer:

    you've got it all wrong, don't worry you are stressing out unnecessarily. The most common early symptoms other than no symptoms at all are horrible rashes and ulcerations. the symptoms you are describing include many many things. "a headache that wont go away" and the sleeping thing is probably because of your anxiety, calming yourself will probably get rid of those symptoms. abdominal pain and aching joints can mean alot of things, if you look up abdominal pain and aching joints you will find so many different illness/disease possibilities. the abdominal pain can be associated with an intestinal problem that can affect the nutrients you absorb which can affect the strength of your joints. Try to stay away from the internet as much as possible and see a doctor and if need be a therapist who can help you until you get tested.

ok, so i think you should give it some time, and see a doctor... My sister had symptoms similar to those, she's a virgin, and they ended up going away in about two weeks..... so you might be fine, but i'd see a doctor just in case.

you are most likely feeling these symptoms because you are stressed out. truth is ALL of your symptoms can be attributed to stress. you have a very low chance of being affected by hiv. test yourself in 3 months but until then relax and dont have unprotected sex again. you will be fine just calm down

the symptoms can be multiple things those are general symptoms and if you have ever had a bit of hypochondria just thinking of the disorder and the symptoms can cause you to show signs just calm down and get tested and be safe till you know

What you are experiencing is most likely a stress response. meaning you are working yourself up and causing additional symptoms.

You are unnecessarily worrying. Stop worrying and crying. At present you suffering from the anxiety symptoms only. There will not any pre-HIV symptoms as you think. Though what I write further lines is not relevant to you - I ought to inform you that HIV is not a incurable disease now. It can be well treated and now the medical science has good medicines in this regard. You need not think about your life ending and do not image unnecesary things about your health. Learn more knowledge about your health and diseases. ok. To avoid from your panic thinking - do more open exercises and enjoy with friends company and eat fresh vegetables and fruits. Drink much water. ok. Life is very valuable - Concentrate on your job or purpuse of life. Do not waste on thinking waste items.

It is possible to live with HIV. This may not have been what you wanted to hear though. Until you have a blood test you wont know and it may be that getting so worked up about it is having a psychosomatic effect on you. When people genuinely believe they have an illness it has been known that some symptoms can manifest just because of this strong belief that they are ill. Don't worry until you have that test. Until then always take precaution.
