I am so paranoid, could it be hiv?


A couple of days after being with a guy, bareback i noticed i had a sore throat. very small sore throat and can hardly notice its there. around the 9 day mark, i had to call off work early becuase i was feeling sick. i felt cold (which means small fever), weak and no energy (lasted less then a day and then i was fine). keep in mind i do have two jobs, one of which is a paper route so im exposed to cold temps in the morning. i know that i am in a stressed state with a divorce and not seeing my child everyday, and then to add this paranoid feeling doesnt help. i wonder if im causing this myself. now today, 2 weeks down the road i have abdominal pain. but its not in one spot its the whole stomach area, almost like a feeling you get after lifting out and being sore. these would be my only symptoms. i know the guy told me he was clean and i have talked to him since. he swears up and down that he had tests done, and one done right around the time we did stuff and he said he was clean then..

he had a test done on 4/30/08 and he showed me it. he was negative. could it be possible that i have contracted hiv. im really worried, i dont know if its my mind running wild and making these things happen or not. i also asked the guy if he has any symptoms, and he told me nothing, he feels completely fine. i know i have to get tested, but it still early to, im paranoid.

Relax,
Nothing you say you means you got HIV. The only way to know is go get tested. Look up symptoms of anxiety you will see some of what you are felling. I will include two links one where you can get tested today... but you will need to re-due the test after 12 weeks.
And one that you can see what doctors have to say about what you are felling.

You would not have symptoms this soon. But, you need to learn from this. People lie. How do you know he had not had unprotected sex the day after he was tested? How do you know the test was not inaccurate? If someone is tested before six months after unprotected sex, the virus may not show up! There is no reason at all for going unprotected.

when your in a stressed out state of mind you're going to think the worst, and thinking about it wont help you. I doubt you have it but who am I to say, anyone can be positive, the only way to know for sure is to get tested you can even buy an at home test from your local drug store, it costs around $60, you do the test, mail it out and get the answer in about a day (it would be in the pharmacy section) good luck, and next time use protection

You wouldn't know this quickly

You wouldn't have any symptoms for months or years after initial infection

You are feeling guilt because of unsafe sex and punishing yourself

BE SAFE in future and don't play Russian Roulette with your life. USE CONDOMS

I have hiv and it is no joke

Of course just because you wouldn't be experiencing symptoms yet (it's too early) and that you are being paranoid - this does not mean that you haven't contracted HIV and you need to wait three months and have a test
