hi
i recently had drunken unprotected sex with a guy of unknown HIV status. he did not ejaculate inside me but he did expel a lot of precum.
he last tested neg on november for hiv and other STIs (allegedly) . he swears this was a slip up and that he normally doesn't have unprotected sex. i know i can't trust him fully as i barely know him and i didn't actually see the results. but he seemed genuinely freaked out as well and is willing to take another test to calm my nerves.
i took plan b and almost immediately felt the side effects. i even had to take a day off work due to lightheadedness and general malaise. exactly a week after taking the pill i got vaginal thrush which eventually subsided (my vulva is still somewhat irritated but is no longer itchy). i read thrush can be a plan b side effect due to the hormonal imbalance it may cause but i also know that oral thrush can be a symptom of seroconversion and ARS. i have not found any sources about vaginal thrush but to say the least it is worrisome. also, it was a week before my period so it could also be hormonal. this is the first time i have a yeast infection
during that week i also had a bad case of what i think is hay fever (runny nose, sneezing and coughing ). i do know a runny nose is not a sign of seroconversion or ARS but since the runny nose subsided i got a bad sore throat which comes and goes throughout the day. the first day i noticed a lot of post nasal drip, now it is mostly dry and i also feel kind of a globus sensation mostly which could very well be anxiety or reflux related related. still comes and goes during the day. it is extremely annoying and can get very painful at times (mostly when i'm at peak stress)
three days ago -at the peak of my anxiety- i got a small prurituc rash on my chin, neck and chest. it did not cover a whole area and i can say it's mostly just separated -almost isolated- tiny red bumps. it lasted a day and no longer itches. it mostly matches with stress hives, but again, it could be ars or seroconversion.
i got my blood drawn two days ago and tested neg for the antibody test. i know this is no good since it only tests for 3 month + old exposures. i did have the DUO test done and i'm waiting for the p24 antigen test. the thing is i took the antigen test 2 weeks post exposure. I'm getting a lot of conflictive information on the window, first by the internet and second by the lab lady at the clinic i took the test at and the counselor at the same clinic who said it would be 1 month and a half (????) and to come back in three months for conclusive testing.
i been freaking out about the whole ordeal for 2 weeks straight. this has been the most anxious i've been ever been in my life. i don't think i can handle 2 1/2 months more of this. it has taken a toll on me mentally, emotionally and physically.My IBS and chronic gastritis are acting up right now and it's making it even worse. it's the only thing i can think about. i feel dread 24/7. any time i get distracted the HIV thoughts just come back with a vengeance and i can't help it.
i can't function like this anymore, i'm even considering quitting my job.
the anticipation is getting the best of me, i'm getting very impatient and anxious. every day is a new prolonged panic attak and i don't know what to do with myself. i even think i'd be calmer even if i tested positive because at least i'd know my status and i'd know what to do bt this uncertainty is making me go absolutely crazy
