HIV Symptoms

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hi, I am in a monogamous relationship (I hope) for almost a year now and once in awhile when I have sexual intercourse with my partner we'll take out the condom and continue and we took a blood test in mid June which luckily were both negative for all STD's. However, i am a bit paranoid when it comes to HIV and i am quite of an athlete, i play a lot of squash tennis and badminton. A few days ago i had a dark vertical line on my ring finger not sure due to what but i looked it up and it kinda looks like Melanonychia. It looks like the image below. And i search what causes it and it came out with HIV which kinda scares me and makes me more paranoid. Please help!!image.

    I have the same on my nails. I've read it can be something as simple as the damage that getting your nails done causes. I got tested 2 weeks ago, and am negative.

    Try not to Google, it's the worst thing you can do. There is no harm in getting tested for your peace of mind though. I'm sure everything is fine and it's simply some nail damage. Do you get manicures at all?
