HIV - Hoping in Vain
Mar 31, 2008
Dr. Bob, please answer, i need a pick me up (or rather a woohoo from you!) to move on and stop spending my life online....
(sorry if this posted twice, my comp crashed earlier...)
Im female and about 1 year had unprotected vaginal sex that drew blood... 8 weeks later developed weird non-specific symptoms: sore muscles, fatigue, nausea, sore lymph node area, a couple night swears, tested neg at 9 wks for HIV and STDS... symptoms continued for many more weeks, tested neg for HIV and Hep at 5 months, symptoms slowly dissolved and i moved on with my life...
But then about 3 or so weeks ago (about 1 yr post exposure) even after the illness was off of my mind, the exact same symptoms came back with a wrath and(with the addition of a sharp upper pain in my right side), I tested again for HIV and Hep, both negative at about 12 months and 1-2 weeks post possible exposure, ive had no other risk factors than the one described above...
Dr. Bob PLEASE! I think im going crazy, if i managed to contract HIV and Hep at the same time, could it delay seroconversion past a year for both? Wouldn't atleast the Hep or the HIV antibody show up? Is there any reason a seemingly healthy 20 year old with no obvious medical problems would not seroconvert within a year.... Should i seek a PCR test or something else?
Also I take Aldactone, Zovia and Norvasc, could any of these meds affect that? And about 9 months post exposure I took chloroquine (anti-malaria)on a trip out of the country.... Could that affect it?
Dr. Bob, i need your woohoo!! I want to move on!!
