Could this be HIV?

Posted , 4 users are following.

So, about 7 weeks ago i hooked up with someone and we didnt use protection, very stupid of me i know. and about a week ago i notice my vagina feels like its burning and i look and i see white discharge so im like, okay i have a yeast infection( i get yeast infections a lot and i dont know how long its been there). So i call and im on medicine for it. a couole days later i notice i have tonsil stones. so i go to the hospital and tell them everything and he looks and just says its tonsil stones doesnt look alarming but it shouldnt cause me to feel bad just from poor hygiene. and yes up until the burning, i was going through a depression rut and didnt shower or brush my teeth for a bit. so i said okay and went on. but then it started to hurt really bad and my neck was tender to touch and i started feeling like i was sick. headache, fatigue, just sick. no fever i dont think, but yesterday the stines looked like they were getting smaller. i guess from all my gargling. but i still feel unwell. ive been googking a lot and im scared it could be hiv. ive started to itch all over but i cant tell if its from that, anxiety, overgrown yeast maybe or maybe just my showering every day now and my skin is dry. im just freaking out and would love any thoughts. im going to get tested soon

    I doubt it's HIV but if you're worried go get a 5 minute test it will put you at ease.

      i havent been able to buy one because of money reasons, but i did get tested and still waiting on the results. My tonsil stones cleared up a couple days ago, but now i have neck stiffness and it feels like my shoulders burn when i touch them, so thats worrying me but i wonder if its from my stress/anxiety. i just hope i get my results soon

    Just keep doing what you have been doing to make the stones grow smaller. HIV is alot more serious than a normal infection from sex. I do not think you have HIV.
