Headaches every since that day
      #69531 - 08/19/03 11:16 AM

Please answer this question for me. I'm losing my mind here. I met this guy in March of 2003. After a few days I finally went to his house and we missed around. We deeped kissed, laid on top of one another and bumped and grind bare naked. Sucked nipples, I fingered him which I had no cuts on my finger. He came on my chest and I came on myself. We both used the towel to wipe off. Then the next day we saw each other again and we started to kiss deeply again. That is when he told me that he was HIV+. I have never knew anyone with HIV/AIDS. I didn't leave right away because he started crying. After leaving I cried my ass off on the way home. I have never been so scared in my life. I wake up now with panic attacks, I can't breath sometimes, I have bad headaches all the time now. I have been getting them for four months now. Everyday. Asprin does not help it at all. I damn near over dose on asprin to stop the pain and it doesn't work. I have read that headaches is one of the symptoms. As far as I know of I have not experience any other side effects. Oh yeah I forgot to tell you that we didn't have oral sex either. So please please help me. I am going crazy with fear. I can't live a normal life anymore because of this. I know that you are extremly busy with all of the other question, but please find it in your heart to answer this for me. What are the headaches coming from. Could I be suffering from anything else. So again my problems are Headaches everyday, sometimes I feel like I can't breath, I wake up panicing sometimes. I walk three times a week so I feel find as far as energy for the most part. Please help, I begging you. I don't know who else to talk to. ;(

Your headaches are caused by anxiety, not HIV. It's been long enough that if you were positive, antibodies would show up by now, so get a test and be done with it. I don't think you did anything risky, so stop beating yourself up.

I am sorry to hear of your scare. I, too, am dealing with a scare situation like you...but mine was a bit riskier and I have no clue about the other person's status. I think alot of your headaches have to do with stress and anxiety. This person gave me no reason to think that he was positive, but I am still worried. He is constantly ill and sometimes administered to the hospital for being sick. That is what I base my worries on. I have never known of anyone that gets sick as much as he does. A while after the incident, I had swollen glands in my neck and groin along with a feeling of being constantly tired. I went to the doctor who gave me antibiotics and told me not to worry. It eased my worries but only a little. I think about this everyday and I am still in the window period for testing so I can't get tested yet. The best thing for you to do is get yourself tested. There are free testing locations just about anywhere...you just have to find the right place. Take a deep breath and relax. I don't think you did anything risky enough. If you do find out that you are positive, there is always support for you. Good Luck!

I, myself, am an HIV- female, and I can tell you that your chances of contracting HIV from him are slim to none. You did not do anything that is considered high risk, so relax and breathe deeply. On the other hand, what has happened to this friend of yours? Please do not isolate him for being honest with you. People mess around with other people everyday and at least he had the courage to tell you his status before things went any further. I suggest you stop worrying about your small risk of contracting the virus, and start thinking about others. You said he cried when he told you his status....perhaps you should learn more about this disease so if there is a next time something like this occurs, you will not be so hurtful and self involded (anxious).
