Very scary symptoms. hiv? flu?
-
i have unprotected sex with random partners. i'm very aware of the risks, so that's not the issue. i don't need preaching, i just need information on the symptoms i'm experiencing now. please, and thank you. i have a terrible flu-like sickness that hit me suddenly 4days ago. nobody that i've been around is sick, and i've been googling symptoms for days. (by the way, i did schedule an hiv test for next week, but i just would like to go in with a better guess of the outcome than 50/50. i hate surprises). these are my symptoms: -recurring fever. it comes and goes. of course, accompanied by chills. -loss of appetite. i eat much much less. about 5bites at a time a couple times a day. -dizziness. this happens when i do simple tasks. -body pain. it's like when anything brushes against my body hair it just hurts really bad. -lots of gas. i'm forever passing gas. all day and all night. i know these symptoms are common to LOTS of illnesses. but i think the really important thing is the symptoms i'm NOT having. if there are any doctors maybe you'll be able to help? here's the common symptoms i'm NOT experiencing. -swollen glands. -nausea/vomitting. -diarrhea. -sore throat/cough. -sinus problems (sneezing, runny nose, stuffed nose, etc). i'm so confused about what this is! please don't just say "definitely hiv." or "couldn't possibly be hiv." if you can't give an answer that shows you've thought about it, please don't bother. thank you.

A flu like illness is probably just that, a flu. You're more likely to have contracted HIV if: you're a man who has sex with men, and you're a bottom you're having sex with people from South East Asia or Africa your partners are IV drug users from Eastern Europe That's just demographics. It could be seroconversion sickness. There is a 6 week window period for HIV testing, so if you've been exposed more recently you'll have to get rechecked.

C'mon now.... you are an active guy... let's get real.... Whatever you have will require a slew of blood tests to identify. Having your internet chums guessing for you is silly. Not even a doctor would allow himself to guess because the question requires blood tests.

if you weren't having sex with a bunch of people, you wouldn"t be worried about whether you contracted HIV or not. actually to be honest you don't have to sleep around to cathch HIV, it actually only takes one time. you shouldn't be having unprotected sex period, not in these days and time. people are nasty and you shouldn't trust them. because people are dirty and evil, and well purposely infect you with something and laugh about. to be safe, and not worry you should get an HIV test. if you turn out to be HIV positive, blame yourself because you knew better, and hopefully you'll learn your lesson. If you turn out negative consider yourself lucky. The sympyoms of hiv vary, its different for different people because everybody's body and immune system is different. but i know the most common symtoms are swollen lymp nodes, extreme fatigue, night sweats, flu like symptoms that don"t go away, diahirra, sore throat, and other symptoms. like i said different people have different symptoms. but go get tested you need to anyway to find out for sure. being scared is not going to help you if you don"t do anything about it.

I hope to God this is a troll question. flu like symptoms but worse are the signs of an hiv infection. Sorry but you knew the risks right? You're not experiencing sneezing sore thought cough sinus because you dont have a cold. However, it depends on when you last had unprotected sex because an hiv signs flu shows up about 3 days to the first 2 weeks with infection. When i was younger and stupid i played russian roulet with my penis too and even when i didn't have any signs i freaked out and one time i really thought i got it and for 6 months my life was a wreck. I would wake up in cold sweats and all day long i had this terrible fear inside. IF you are clean be safe and use protection. the 30 minutes of pleasure is not worth dying for.

Sorry to say, but what you are describing could be acute HIV infection. Instead of typing out a novel, I will give you a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_HIV_infection Read it and decide for yourself. If it turns out you are negative, you may want to reconsider your sexual lifestyle. Best of luck.

Symptoms are meaningless - many people experience no symptoms at all when they seroconvert - and, as you know, all of the symptoms that you describe occur all the time for a variety of different minor illnesses and infections. The only way to determine whether or not you have HIV is to take an HIV test, being aware that there is a window period of up to 3 months after infection during which time you may still test negative. If you insist on continuing having unprotected sex you should get tested frequently so that if you do eventually become infected with HIV at least you will know about it.
