SEROCONVERTED
      #105862 - 08/03/04 02:49 AM

I recently was infected over the 4th weekend. I had 2 one night stands - both girls pursued me and I had unprotected sex. I just know the 1st girl was the one who murdered me (well murder/suicide is the more accurate depiction). She looked sick in retrospect, had vaginal fluids as wet as the ocean, and we had sex for hours - she also made comments which made me believe she knew she had something the next morning which haunt me like a nightmare.

I took viagra since we had been at a club most of the night drinking - ironic if the viagra caused me to be exposed long enough to the vaginal fluids to infect me. The thing is I didn't even like her and turned her down and she asked again to come to my room! I'm just a man and find it awkward to turn down a woman asking me for sex. Ugh! The mistake of the century! In my reckless abandon I used the "pull-out" method.

4 days later I had maculo-papulor rash in the genitial area, sore throat, dry cough, fatugue, and high fever. A couple of weeks later the sore throat came back with transient rash. No mistaking these cursed symptoms - acute HIV syndrome. Healthy, handsome, and vibrant one moment - dead man walking the next!

Of course I'm in shock, angry at her for not insisting I wear a condom and angry at myself for not protecting myself - 32 years old making tons of money and looking to settle down and raise a family. Now I can't have children and am HIV positive! I'm fucked. I wish I could meet a woman around my age and infection time who could accept me and build a life together. I feel so guilty even of thinking of marrying someone who is not positive. What a lonely feeling.
Life just got a whole hell of a lot more complicated!

Your story seems a little like mine. I had sex with a "Karaoke girl" in china at the end of June. I used a condom. On the way back on the plane I noticed a bit of jock itch, and tried to get rid of it with creams. I then started to feel flu-ey and for a bout 10 days now I have been awake every night for 5-6 hours. Not sleeping at all. Yesterday I took therapid test and passed. I know this only detects the virus, and I am way inside the window. Trouble is I am too scared to take the blood test. I'll use that word again, scared nay terrified. I spend all night panicking about my life just crumbling away.....I can't stand the worry.

Anyway, the woman at the test centre said that in my circumstances, and using a condom, I have little chance of catching anything. I think its just the worry, and the anxiety that is making me feel sick. Could I have caught the jock itch from th condom ? It was a chinese brand I used ?

Actually I feel better just having wrote that......

I know this is the most difficult thing that you have faced in your life. However, you need to learn to redefine yourself and carry on. I was infected at 29 years old and have been positive for two years. I work a full-time job and have developed a new relationship with someone who is negative. Don't give up on your goals.
