I know it was just a joke..but could i really be infected with HIV?

my family says i have lost weight and im pale..and my dad keeps joking talking about i have aids which is not funny at all...but he scares me because im pregnant and my husband was unfaithful to me once. My bestfriend said it could be the pregthat's thats making me loose weight..could i really have Aids or could it be something else. I thought people only lost weight in the later stages?

Yes. YOU WILL DIE!

It doesn't really mean you have HIV. Did you request an HIV test when you had all of your testing done? You have to sign a waiver for it, and I would suggest you do it, just in case. As for loosing weight and being pregnant, it depends what trimester you are in. If you are in your first trimester and you have horrible morning sickness you can loose weight. I lost almost 15 lbs in my first trimester because I was so sick. As long as you can turn around and put that weight back on you will be fine. Your baby doesn't put all of his.her weight on until the last half of your third trimester, which is when you will start putting on some major weight. In the end, the only weight I put on was all of my baby weight. The week after I had my son I was back to what I weighed when my husband and I got married 10 months ago!

again, you could be pale due to the pregnancy and being sick. I was pale throughout my entire pregnancy. Ask your Dr. about it, they will know if something is wrong

Losing weight in early pregnancy is common due to morning sickness. I lost a total of 12 pounds in my first trimester and the remainder of my pregnancy was normal. Your pale skin could be attributed to anemia which is also very common in pregnancy. You should be getting an HIV test soon, with your first OB panel actually.

You really shouldn't be LOSING weight if you're pregnant. If you're healthy and pregnant you should be GAINING weight. While I'm not sure about the HIV/AIDS something else might be wrong so for the safety and well being of you and your baby I would go to the doctor and have them test you for everything just to be on the safe side.

It's unlikely that you have AIDS, but you should at least talk to your doctor. My sister lost weight during her pregnancy the first few months, and it had something to do with appetite, anemia, etc. Just because you are losing weight doesn't mean that you have a horrible disease, but you should talk to your doctor. Maybe you are just deficient with some kind of vitamin.

I lost ten pounds during both of my pregnancies because i was so sick and throwing up all the time. Dehydrated also. My now ex husband cheated on me, he never contracted HIV though. I doubt you have AIDS, hopefully your moron of a husband used protection. Tell your dad to shut up. It's not funny to make fun like that. Talk to your doctor, you'll definitely get a blood test during your pregnancy, but you'll probably get it sooner if you suspect it could be HIV. Good Luck.

You should be gaining weight during pregnancy, not losing weight. You need to see your doctor. HIV testing is often offered during pregnancy. Talk to your doctor about it.

If you are pregnant you need to have a HIV test for the sake of the baby- do it now. If you were HIV+ they can treat you so the baby won't become infected.

you put weight on not lose it....see a doctor,are you eating enough? if your pale and feeling tired all the time it might be anemia..as for your father what a dreadful thing to say to you

your actually supposed to be gaining weight when your pregnant. from 45-50 pounds overall.
if your that worried get tested, and ask your boyfriend to get tested too.
thats the only way you'll know forsure.

You're not suppose to be losing weight...and yes, you could have AIDS. You'll be tested for it in the later stages but talk to your doc why you're losing weight.

Your dad sounds like a lovely guy. Has no one pointed out the pregnant women typically GAIN weight. See a doctor asap. And get some literature while you are at it.

You need to speak to a doctor asap. You are not supposed to lose weight when you're pregnant AT ALL, regardless of which stage you're in.
