i want to get tested but scared to death
      #171980 - 01/27/06 12:42 PM

i know that you should not go on symptoms alone and i know the advice is simply to go and get tested but it is very hard to get that courage mustered up to do so. my concerns are no different than anyone else that considers themselves at risk. i have had unprotected sex w/women for quite a while now but have since ceased this lifestyle and lo and behold 3 months after this, symptoms appear. swollen lymph node back of neck, elevated liver enzymes, nausea, never vomited but felt i could have a couple of times, lost 18-20lbs in april-may but have since gained all of that back, experiencing discomfort on my right side and in the colon area, and in april experienced incredible lightheadedness. would all of these symptoms appear so soon if you were exposed to hiv? help anyone, need some encouragement here

Symptoms don't come 3 months after, the average is 25 days (2 to 4 weeks) so if you have a problem I would go see a doctor and quit tinking it can only be.

actually the swollen lymph node was in 25 day window, had pubic lice as well but dont know if there was an allergic reaction to the over-the-counter medication that may have caused the swollen lymph node or not
