Is there such a thing as boarding house pregnancy syndrome?

This is a serious question. Do you honestly think/feel I have HIV?

• First off, I know most of you will want to tell me "I am not a doctor, get a test" which is honestly a pointless endevour.. cause I just got tested cause I was told it would probably put my mind at rest. Now I am just awaiting results. Now please give me some sort of peace of mind.. even if it is miniscule. I don't want reassurance that there is medicine out there or things will work out or just to wait. I need to have some sort of fact thrown at me about the disease or something I am wrong bout to at least calm me down and allow some rational sense in me to reassure me I am probably fine cause of whatever reason you posted. It is not healthy to walk around thinking I am dying all the time. I am a girl and have had 9 male partners in my life. 3 were virgins (we were young) and 5 with condoms and 4 that pulled out. (I know that is not a good way, but can't change the past). I am 24 now. Before my bf of 3 years, I had sex with a guy at 19 years old. He claimed he had sex with 20 women when I asked, I don't know if that was some masculine comment but he said that. He pulled out, we had sex twice. Now looking him up today on FB, he is still kicking, got 3 jobs also a dj. Does not really mean anything, but it made me feel good he was not clearly dying or sick. So the big ??? is that when me and my current bf of 3 years first met, about a month later, he got sick. We had sex then before, like maybe 14 times? All times with a condom except 2 though. He was a stickler for condoms cause of pregnancy. The one time it was like.. 30 seconds and he backed out of it like 30 seconds in. 2nd time he pulled out. But yeah, he went down on me once. Anyway, he got sick. Now you look up Acute HIV Syndrome.. 90% of patients get it. He all the sudden couldn't sleep and was sweating at night real bad, then the next day was just miserable with a sore throat and fever.. not sure if he had swollen lymph nodes or not, did not have a rash. But he was like.. he took the comforter, wrapped himself in it and laid next to the floor heater for hours at a time. This fever subsided within about 2 days and the throat in 3 or so, it was very quick, only a 3 day.. whatever it was. I have been wracking my brain over the situation to try and figure how it would not be HIV infection. People say it could be Strep, well I don't remember anyone in the house having strep. My sis, 5 year old neice, me, cat, and a few of my sisters friends were there. So what else could it be other than the worst? I talked to him about it and he thought I was being stupid. He said he always got at least a sore throat everytime he went to my sisters house, that time it was just really bad.. I think he is full of it tho, but I remember him saying that before. I found that HIV syndrome thing the other day and it made my heart race and freak out. All that I have to calm me down is that #1 : he had it for 3 days, unusually short amount of time, symptoms usually last at least 7 days up to 14 or rarely more. #2: He did not have a rash, but not all cases have them, but 70% do. #3: I never got sick within a month after encounted with anyone (90% usually have at least fever and mono like symptoms) #4: I ended up having a major sore throat either a week before or 2 weeks after incident at his bro's (without fever) that lasted about a day or so.. don't know if that is related. Can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE supply me a #5? That is all I want from you, I will be forever grateful even if my test end up bad. I just want to feel like I am being irrational and overreacting and want a reason.. please give me a #5? I will give you 10 points, answer any and as many questions you have..

• Answer:

  It is not uncommon for one that is experiencing an anxiety attack to have tingling in their arms and lips. Anxiety can also cause a person to feel is if they are having an 'out of body' experience. Does your heart race? If so, then my professional opinion is that you should see a Dr. and get treatment for anxiety. Good luck.
