Hi Susie

Take it easy. These signs are usually caused by existing anxiety. Also by drinking too much coke, coffee etc. or smoking more than usual.

i am also in the same boat as you, in the window period. i have accepted that there is nothing one can do until the time arrives to take a test. i will be taking one at 6 weeks and one at 12/13. until then there is little to be done.

you will be fine, i am sure.

take care

I wish I could be as calm as you. My body just feels different the last couple of weeks--like its trying to tell me something...

Body trying to tell you something? I know that feeling Susie, but read your about possible risk...you need to chill...Im in a bad situation...1 STD confirmed, severe symptoms of another, and possible this increasing my risk og HIV 5 or 6 fold. Get my 8 week results tomorrow.

Nothing major by way of symptoms, but that doesnt mean a thing if you read what the experts say. must tell i am not calm at all, with all the poking to see if lymph glands are enlarged, checking my tongue 5 times a day and so on.

6 week test at the end of next week. when do u test?

maybe you have swollen saliva glands. That can cause dry mouth

I think your body is trying to tell you that you are running on high levels of anxiety. This can make you feel completely bizarre. If you placed yourself at risk, test at 13 weeks. Try not to let every thing you feel in the next few weeks run wild in your mind..you can't diagnose HIV by symptoms.

God Bless.
