Hi Doc. please, on may 5th 2010,I stupidly had an unprotected sex with a young woman. I call it stupi in the sense that when my condom bursted I continued to move. I asked her then, and she claimed she was clean, but I realized I can't trust nobody.
I am someone very much aware of the symptoms of HIV, so for three months, I monitored my body. No early signs. But six months later, I saw two patches on my lower legs and robbed them. They became wounds. I was scared and rushed to the urgent clinic for attention. They checked and said nothing. Two nights later, I had chill and sweating on the face. My throat is really dry, though no sore throat, only a little dry cough. I went to my doctor and complained. He gave me augmentine antibiotics. After another week, I noticed rashes on my laps and tiny reddish-like colouration on my chest whenever I finished taking my bath, then scratchings on both my palms and under my feet. I also noticed that I have achings from my waist down my legs. I went to my doctor and complained. I also told him about my flatulent stomach which has lasted almost two years now, and a back pain also lasting up to two yars. He said they weren't anything to panic about. But I told him about the sex six months ago, requesting an HIV test. But instead, I saw something like 'cadiovascular risk, urine, glucose' written on the paper. No HIV.
Today is the second day since I visited my doctor. And rightnow, I see that the right part of my knees is slightly swollen from the back, a little painful. I also seem to notice that my tongue doesn't taste same. And the date for the said test is January 13th. What could I do in a situation like this? I really want to have myself texted for HIV to be sure, before it gets late.
