Hi everyone,
I hope someone can ease my mind I'm so scared and nervous. I'm a 21 year old guy and I've been sick with what I hope is the flu for about three and a half days. The only symptoms I have are:
Fever from 100-103
Fatigue
Muscle aches
Chills
Swollen lymph nodes in neck
It all came on suddenly three days ago when I woke up with a fever and my eyes aching. I was ok for the first two days till I starting thinking :weep: . I had recent incidences where I had unprotected sex with people I didn't know the status of. So now I'm freaking out that this is all the first stages of an acute hiv infection. I've been taking 2 advil every 4-5 hours. And now to make me freak out even more I developed a flat non itchy red rash like small splotches all over my chest.
I'm just so scared it's never gonna go away or that I have some terrible disease. I've been freaking out that it's something like rabies? Even though I've had no exposer and there's no cases ever reported in people in my state.
I don't know I'm just scared and I need some comforting advice :weep: . I mean is it normal for a fever to last this long with a flu anyone else have similar symptoms or experiences.
Thanks so much :)
