hi everyone, i have been in a relationship for almost 5 years now, recently he was getting sick after intercourse, whenever we did it, he feel like throwing up, and for a week or so, have headaches and burning eyes and sometimes fever. this all lasts for almost few days, then he get back to normal. he went to Doctor and Doc wrote him some test and he said its might be HIV or AIDS . are these really symtoms of HIV ? because i personally think its all happening because of depression and stress. whats your opinion?

    HIV or AIDS do not have the eye burning sysmptoms. Stress or Depression is possibility.

      Also, HIV sysmptoms dont show up so fast after sexual activity in a healthy person. 

      It takes years or sometimes decades for any HIV sysmptoms to show up because the body's immune system suppresses them or controls them adequately for long time.

      I would like to add, there is no harm in testing for HIV virus after unprotected sexual contact. That way you know you don't have it.

      Yeah of course. We're in a queue. We'll get tested for sure.

    You asked the same question two days ago and several people gave you some very sensible replies. Why are you asking it again?

    I have a history of sexual assault.  I also know a lot about the subject.  Maybe I'm just projecting but my first thought was wondering if he was a childhood victim of sexual abuse.  It might not be conscious (repressed memory) or it could be (suppressed memory).  The symptoms of childhood sexual assault can be a lot of things, substance abuse, trust issues, employment issues, oppositional defiance, etc.  But, one can be around the subject of sexual intimacy.  Many can fake being passionate but sometimes flashbacks bubble up and that breakthrough can make someone ill.  It's just a thought....

    But, you seem to be spending overtime trying to figure this senario out to the point that you seem traumatized by it.

    As for HIV Aids?  Getting tested is the only way to find out.  Does he have a history of risky behavior?  If you suspect he has please take care of yourself and be careful.  

    My best,  DL

      Thank you for replying. Yes Sometimes i don't understand his behaviour. Like this one. When doctor told him it might be HIV and told him to get tested. He told me that if thats true and if the results will come positive , he will leave me, cuz his life is more important. I am still in shock. That's why i ask this question again here. I dont want to lose him as i love him so much. I am not sure about his childhood or anything.. all i know is , i know him from past 5 years. And yes he got mood swings . We have been doing unprotected sex for few months now. And he feel throwing up everytime after intercourse.

    I'm sorry I'm confused, you've told me he has indigestion and that that vomiting after sex was for the last few months. And only has symptoms after sex? You mentioned the headache was probably from vomiting as well. Many of the symptoms you describe are not a result of hiv. Only testing will tell.

      Yeah i told you last time. When he didn't went to GP. But now his doc told him to get tested and told him these are the signs of HIV or Aids. I am freaking out because its affecting everything. He said if the results come positive he will leave me . I dont know what to do .

      And yes these symptoms only appear after sex .Otherwise he is fine normally. What do you think is it HIV symptoms? Vomiting after sex, headache, bodyache, and eyes burning.

      I truly don't think it's hiv , these don't sound like the symptoms .. Eyes burning, vomiting only after sex .. If he's only having symptoms after sex I'm of the opinion it's motion related to reflux or a form of performance anxiety he's developed. I don't know if you remember me saying it's hard to pinpoint the cause without tests and medical history? It sounds like the Gp is eliminating to be on the safe side . While your at it you should test to just for piece of mind .

      I forgot to add the sporadic fever you mentioned in another thread is likely to have made the doctor request the hiv test.
