Chances for catching HIV. Lots of symptoms (all of them)
Posted , 5 users are following.
I am male, 26 years old. I had unprotected one night stand (vaginal + oral, 4 times in the same night) with a girl from Bulgaria. During the intercourse, I noticed that I had two small wounds on the shaft from rough oral sex. I know that this increases the chances of HIV.
After five days, I started to notice small red dots on the head of my penis. After few days they become a little bigger and after few more days there was redness on the head on the penis and on the shaft. There were no more bumps. I took Canesten and the redness disappeared, but when I stooped, it shows again.
I made CBC test after day 8, WBC = 6,9; LYM% = 0,228; LYM# = 1.6; MXD% = +0.121
I was very scared because LYM were low.
In the same time when the red dots appeared (5 days after the unprotected sex) I had a sore throat with wet cough. Also, I got diarrhea.
I went to the doctor and he prescribed antibiotics (Zinnat). The coughing stopped after the antibiotics, but the sore throat remains. I also took DiaStop (for the diarrhea). The diarrhea stopped 3 days after.
The next 2 days (6 to 8 days after) I had slightly high temperature, often 37.2C and 37.3C, and once 37.5C (measured under the arm). After this, I hadn't got high temperature ( 37C max)
9 days after the intercourse, I had all body itching, no rash, but very hot skin.
10 days, redness to the chest. Also, pain in the chest.
11 days, white spots on the tongue, lasted only day or two.
13 / 14 / 15 days, night and day sweats on the hands and feet, not very strong at night. Diarrhea is back, because I stopped the diet.
Next days I had sore throat. The diarrhea comes and goes.
16 - 26 days: sore throat, twitching in abdomen and occasional diarrhea. I started to feel lymph nodes enlargement on the neck, but I am not sure.
I made CBC after 25 days, WBC = 6,5; LYM% = 0,236; LYM# = 1.5; MXD = 4.7
I am waiting for 30 days to get tested (HIV COMBO), but with all this symptoms + the blood results I am sure that I am HIV+.
I am very afraid, constantly stressed, I can't work or do anything without thinking of HIV.
Do you think that I have a chance to be HIV-? What else can cause all this symptoms?
Thank you.

For the future if you are so concerned you must consider using protection
The fact that she was Bulgarian is of no consequence I think.

Hi Dimiar, fear and stress will cause many of these sympoms. Do not decide your HIV status by symptoms alone - and definitely not from information from the internet... The only way to know for sure is to be tested after the suggested time, post contact. Typically 60 and 90 days. Try to stay calm because - again your symptoms could be anything as well as stress related. Good Luck, Matt

I am still worried because I still have all the symptoms. Maybe my body still haven't created HIV antibodies because I have low lymphocite count.
Have you seen negative HIV 1 & 2 Antibody + p24 Antigen test turn positive after 3 months?
When should I test again? 6 weeks or 3 months?
Thank you.
