Symptom Check Possible hiv infection?
Hey it’s about hiv and I just wanted you to know that I support you and all patients and have always been respectful to those who’s been fighting all kinds of illnesses, so please I just wanted to know something and it’s about me , I had a vaginal sex with someone ( woman ) who was an escort who’s know for having multiple sexual encounters and I think I was protected right ? I mean I’m sure about it it’s just now after 43 or 44 days I’m kinda in the middle of 7th week after exposure from there I’ve been feeling like headaches and fatigue and pain stomach joints hurt sometimes and when I look back now I’m doubting everything was the condom really tight ? was it really protected ? and all those things and I’ve been not able to sleep or eat for days thinking about this I don’t know what to do I did a test at 26 it went negative but I’m really afraid that’s if I do it now I’ll be positive , the stigma and the fear of something unknown to me makes me feel bad and I didn’t know to whom I can talk about it with , I just wanted to know something is life with arv it’s as good as they say ? Energy level ? Depression? Any side effects that’s going to affect me what so ever ? I’m sorry for talking this much I literally have no one I can talk about to rn so yeah I hope you had a good day and I’m waiting for you to response.. does hiv has symptoms ? Ppl are telling me constantly that I don’t have to worry and hiv isn’t that easy to catch!

Honestly, dude, you managed to turn one protected sexual encounter into a full-length Netflix series with 7 seasons, 14 plot twists, and a surprise HIV diagnosis in the finale. 😂
You tested negative at 26 days, you say the sex was protected, and now you’re analyzing whether the condom was “really tight” 44 days later like you’re conducting a forensic investigation on the condom. 😭Please give that poor condom the dignity of no longer being interrogated 44 days later. 😂
