I had a sexual incounter about 6 weeks ago, and we did not use protection and i feel so dumb but now for the past week and a half I have been not feeling too great. I have been been had a fever of 99.7F to 100.3F and i usually am 97.9F and i have been sweating day and night i wake up and my t-shirt was wet. I had chills like 2 nights ago i woke u and my mouth was dry and and i could not stop shaking and like minutes later i threw up. I have been very sore and tired also. My mother asked me if i was pregnant because i had missed my period but now i came on so i know thats not the case. SO i went to my doctor today and he gave me some pain relievers and he did a CBC(complete blood count) and a blood culture. so ill get my results back tomarro to a week. So does this sound like HIV to you?? Please help me :(

No I don't think so, but I hope you learned something from this, you do have some kinda virus, but I don't think it's HIV, Please be smarter in the future, and next time you get the urge to have sex, think about how you feel now, thank god you aren't pregnant....you really don't need that right now!!! Please use protection, it only takes a split second and you life is over!

not the likeliest thing , but a possiblility, Did you mention this to the Dr.?

Tiffany I don't know you, but I definitely feel for you. Don't ever again in your life have unprotected sex with a stranger again EVER! I didn't put that to be mean or bring you down just something you needed to see. You need to just go get tested HIV doesn't really have quick symptoms.

And you shouldnt cheat on your husband....

i think you are just skiing your self out honey you are OK,it might be just the flu,try not to worry and next time use protection.

NO IT DOES NOT SOUND LIKE HIV. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE THE FLU OR SOME TYPE OF BUG. HIV WOULD NOT HAVE THAT TYPE OF AFFECT ON YOU. NEXT TIME YOU DECIDE TO HAVE A SEXUAL ENCOUNTER PLEASE USE PROTECTION BECAUSE STD'S ARE OUT THERE.

Its possible to be HIV symptoms. In order for your doctor to find out if u do have HIV, did they actually took blood out of u and say they were going to check HIV. U would have to sign a consent form in order for them to have your permission to check HIV on u. Everyone is different from their symptoms, because some people can live with it for years and have no symptoms. Or u might be pregnant because u did said u missed a period. Well Im sorry to hear that u were going through this and I hope u feel better and I wish u the best of luck. 鈾?Gigi :-)

Sounds like the stomach flu...at least you have been to the dr and are doing something about it.
Good luck and be more careful next time.

Many people who are infected with HIV do not have any symptoms at all for many years. But for those who do, what are the symptoms of HIV? First...three things to keep in mind.

Important Fact #1
No one should assume they are infected if they have any of these symptoms. Each of these symptoms can be related to other illnesses.

Important Fact #2
The only way to determine whether you are infected is to be tested for HIV infection.

Important Fact #3
You cannot rely on symptoms to establish that a person has AIDS. The symptoms of AIDS are similar to the symptoms of many other illnesses.

AIDS is a medical diagnosis made by a doctor based on specific criteria established by the CDC.

The Symptoms of HIV Infection
rapid weight loss

dry cough

recurring fever or profuse night sweats

profound and unexplained fatigue

swollen lymph glands in the armpits, groin, or neck (lymphadenopathy)

diarrhea that lasts for more than a week

white spots or unusual blemishes on the tongue, in the mouth, or in the throat (thrush)

pneumonia

red, brown, pink, or purplish blotches on or under the skin or inside the mouth, nose, or eyelids (Kaposi Sarcoma)

memory loss, depression, and other neurological disorders



The earliest symptoms of HIV infection occur while your body begins to form antibodies to the virus (known as seroconversion) between six weeks and three months after infection with the HIV virus. Those who do show early HIV symptoms will develop flu-like symptoms. This can include: fever, rash, muscles aches and swollen lymph nods and glands. However, for most people, the first symptoms of HIV will not be apparent.

Although the infection is slowly taking hold of your body, the majority of those infected with HIV will be asymptomatic. Only by being tested for HIV can you know for sure if you have been infected. Yet, despite the absence of HIV symptoms, you are still highly contagious during this time making it very much a possibility to infect others, including your baby.

Symptoms of AIDS
To be diagnosed with AIDS, your T4 cell count must drop to below 200 per cubic millimeter (in healthy adults, a T4 cell count of 1,000 or more per millimeter is normal) or be infected with an opportunistic infection. Opportunistic infections are so named because they take advantage of your weakened immune system. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention maintains a list of those illnesses that are deemed to be opportunistic infections and lead to an AIDS diagnosis. This list includes, but is not limited to:
Kaposi鈥檚 Sarcoma
Pulmonary tuberculosis
Candidiasis of the esophagus, trachea, bronchi or lungs
Toxoplasmosis of the brain
Severe bacterial infections
Invasive cervical cancer
Lymphoma
Recurrent pneumonia
Additionally, vision loss, nerve damage and brain impairment can also occur. Signs of brain deterioration include troubles thinking, loss of co-ordination and balance and behavioral changes.

While there are treatments to help prolong the life of those infected with the AIDS virus, there is currently no AIDS cure. The best way to protect yourself is by taking preventative measures.

You can have HIV and never know it
I don't think it would show so soon
You are scaring yourself

You just may be pregnant or worrying yourself so much that your period is late

Please use a condom so you wont worry yourself to death next time
