Joey, don't be freekin yet... The so-called "symptoms" of HIV are the same as the symptoms from everything from the common cold to Swine Flu. Unless you have good reason to believe you have been infected (you know, on the receiving end of a good old boy-boy bangin') odds are it's something else or nothing at all. HIV really is a difficult thing to acquire during normal, safe sex practices.

From the UCLA medical Center website: Because of the nonspecific symptoms associated with primary or acute HIV infection, symptoms are not a reliable way to diagnose HIV infection. Testing for HIV antibodies is the only way to know whether you have been infected; however, the HIV antibody test only works after the infected person's immune system develops antibodies to HIV. During the "window period" between the initial infection and the period in which antibodies are detectable (which can be from 2 weeks to 6 months, but is usually 3 months), standard HIV testing is ineffective.

yes i know i should have got the instant one, but i was at the doctor for other blood work, so i just got the doctor to include it in with that. I have 3 very swollen lymph nodes in my neck, i know its only one symptom, but they started swelling almost 3 months after a condom incident at a mp. my mind is just running wild. ive read that the swollen lymph node thing is only hiv if there is swollen lymph nodes in other regions of the body, not just the neck, but im still scared. everyday i wake up thinking, will this be the day i get the call? my doctor does not phone for negitive test results, so that is even freaking me out more, i dont know when is long enough that im ok. the thing is, having that one symptom, it makes me think that every little ache or bruise is another symptom, this has been the worst week of my life, and now i have another 6 days to wait, oh man im losing it

You are surely going to die man.

Better make your will out now. And no more sex either.

A broken condom at an MP. Lord only knows what harbinger of disease that little slut was.

I knew this guy.... he went to an MP..... got a BBBJ and 6 months later - he had the AIDS man. A year after that - he was dead. No kidding.

usually i would think this was funny, but im really not in a humorous mood, and i didnt just get a massage or a bbbj at the mp
 
lol james dont fuck with the guy like that your cruel man!

Honestly, I've been told by my doctor that it is "not easy" to be infected with HIV through sex. And even if you do have unprotected sex with someone who is infected it is not guaranteed that you will also become infected. My mind started to wander at this point but she was talking a bunch of scientific stuff I had no care in because my results came back negative. Honestly, I wouldnt worry. Also my doctor said HIV can remain dormant and show up as negative on a test for up to 6 months after a risk.

If your really that worried go tomorrow and get the finger prick test to ease your tension.

Cause your post ranks up there as one of the dumbest ever.

Tell you what, I will give you a million to one odds on a thousand dollar bet that you are HIV NEGATIVE (unless you've been taking it up the ass bare back or sharing needles).

If that's the case, then all bets are off.

Cut the guy a break already. This is probably the only forum he has to get these fears off his chest. It's probably not something he wants to discuss at the dinner with the folks. Sheesh.

At least this guy went to see a doctor. Unlike the really dumb moron a few weeks back who posted a question about what was causing the sores on his penis. Crikey.

Just call the doctor's office and ask the receptionist how long you should expect to wait. Learn to assert yourself at the doctors office.

Before the debate starts:
Code: 
Exposure Route     Estimated infections
                     per 10,000 exposures
                     to an infected source

Blood Transfusion    9,000

Childbirth           2,500

Needle-sharing 
injection drug use  67

Percutaneous 
needle stick        30

Receptive anal 
intercourse*        50

Insertive anal
intercourse*        6.5

Receptive 
penile-vaginal 
intercourse*        10

Insertive 
penile-vaginal 
intercourse*        5

Receptive 
oral intercourse*§  1

Insertive 
oral intercourse*§  0.5

* assuming no condom use
§ source refers to oral intercourse
performed on a man

From Wikipedia, source further from there.

Basically, unless you're keen on needles, blood transfusions, childbirth, or letting somebody pack your fudge bareback you should probably calm down. It's good you got tested, but you'd really have to have some pretty shitty luck...
 
Receptive anal intercourse* 50 in 10,000

Ok, assuming you are not sharing needles or have had a blood transfusion, this is the highest odds of catching HIV. To make this a decimal it would be 0.005, or 5 in 1000. I think the odds are in your favor... And this is for receiving anal bareback! Your odds are even lower, (unless there is something you are not sharing).

Regardless, abstain until you get your test results back just to remain safe.
 
Go get the instant test. Do it today. Sleep well tonight.

If one comes back positive you'd like want to have a 2nd test anyway, so just go do it.
 
All I can say is, calm down.
I had a condom break once with this hot ass chick a few years back.
I was almost certain she slept around (probably more assumed, but I was wrong), but thought I'm not passing this one up.
I THOUGHT I had symptoms for HIV, but a few years later and I'm fine.

You'll worry yourself to death, try to relax.
I'm sure you'll be fine.
