HELP WITH SYMPTOMS!

hey guys i'm a bit worried about these symptoms i have. 3 weeks after being possibly exposed i started with diarrea alterning constipation, light intermitent fever and my skin started becoming dry and shinny, like old. i got tested for hiv siphilis, tuberculosisi and hepC 11 months after and i was negative. Still 18 months away from exposure i continue with the skin and stomach problems. Fever seems to be out, and theres a weird thing i've noticed: i've been twice on penicillin for 5 days to treat sore throat and everything seems to improve but after a week it slowly comes back. has someone experienced something like this? should i get tested again for hiv? for some other std? thanx i'll really appreciate your opinions

I am not a doctor but...If you tested negative in an 18 month period...you do not have HIV. Because within a certain amount of time from exposure, the HIV replicates, therefore after a 18 month time it should definitely show up IF you have it.

The symptoms could be stressed related. The mind is an amazing thing..expecially when you are still concerned about HIV after testing negative. I would still see a doctor to have your other symptoms clarified to the cause. Not everything is HIV related so you should ask your doctor what it could be and go with that.

I hope this helps. Take care...

Rocks, get tested !

Get a regular doctor and call the AIDS hotline often.

Look in Yellow Pages for the number.

Email me often to chat or for questions .
