Verification of Pri. HIV infection.
      #2946 - 04/05/00 04:14 PM

This message is posted with element which was left out in an earlier posting dated 20 May 99, it explains what the encounter was and the real fear I'm facing now. It goes as ....

I've come across a stranger in the men's public toilet at the 3rd week of April '99, he was 'sort of' stroking his private parts when I went in.

I occupied the adjacent urinal and was just about to ease myself when he suddenly extended his hand & touched the crotch area of my zipped jeans and left hurriedly.

I was disgusted and went to a "just vacant" cubicle to ease. BEFORE, easing, I tried to clean off whatever that was (if anything, wet or dry ... I can't ascertain) on the "crotch area" of the jeans with my fingers.

WITHOUT washing my fingers, I proceeded to ease. It's my habit to clean the tip of my glans with tissue papers after urinating, but there weren't any available then, so I had to do so with my fingers. That is, getting rid/RUBBING OFF urine remains at the small opening (urethra ... incidentally, is a type of mucous membrane) of the glans for more-than-a-few seconds. Quickly, it got sensitive & I ejaculated a little.


QUESTIONS:-
===========

1.If he is HIV POSITIVE, will I be infected by "INTRODUCING" HIV into my bloodstream (via the urethra ... it is known that HIV can penetrate mucous membrane) by my "FINGER-RUBBING" act on the glans which leads to a little ejaculate, without washing my fingers in the first place?


2. From 10~16 May, I had a bad throat, runny nose, slight cough & felt feverish for about 7 days. Beginning 17 May 99, my leg's muscle/joints (the area/muscle behind the kneecap) emitted a "pulling" effect. Sometimes, at the present moment 22 May 99, my neck feels stiff (I can feel that the veins are "bloating" and "twitching") and areas around my armpit give me the inflamed/swollen and "tingling" sensation. ALL THESE are happening within 1 month after the "EXPOSURE".

3. Can someone (having experienced) please tell me if such are symptoms related to Primary Acute HIV Infection? Can lymph nodes be found at the upper calf/ligaments? How do swollen/tender lymph nodes really feel like? Do they exhibit the same characteristics I've just mentioned? How long will such illness last?

I do seek your help. Please throw some light on this matter. Thanks.

Once again, you cannot have been infected this way. Your symptoms are fear and worry. He put whatever on your pants!!! HIV dies within seconds when exposed to air. ANd there doesn't seem to have been much fluid at all. So stop this obsessing. You have problems but it's not with HIV!!! Call the CDC since you need counseling from someone 1-800-342-2437

Have you been an IDIOT all your life????You need to get some counseling but not HIV counseling. It is precisely this fear and stupidity that is making this condition worse for all of us. I especially shudder to think you are living in the 90's and are still this ignorant ....GROW UP
