    I had serious anxiety for YEARS about possibly having HIV and convincing myself that I had symptoms... when I finally tested and it was negative, I couldn’t stop smiling. A giant weight was lifted! There wasn’t any part of me that thought I still had it. I immediately starting telling all my friends that they should test too. Everyone should know their status and trust that the test is accurate!

      Igneos Kai I had dry mouth, dry skin at corners of mouth, literally had no saliva for a few weeks. Headaches, extreme fatigue, like EXTREME fatigue. Swollen lymph node near jaw with a cold to go with it. Hurt to swallow at times. I got tested in 2016 and I now get tested once a year and I also just gave birth to a baby boy in July of this year (they test for hiv in all pregnancies). He’s healthy, I’m healthy. It’s all good. I think all these symptoms were associated with extreme anxiety. Anxiety can cause all of the symptoms I listed

      Igneos Kai no problem. By extreme fatigue I mean that when I wasn’t working (or even when I was) I was fighting off falling asleep standing up, I had the will to move but I always wanted to nap or sleep 12 hours straight, but I think this was due to the fact that my fear of having hiv was taking a toll on me mentally and physically. It’s all I thought about.

    I used to have a really big fear about getting it but I’m 8 months with my girlfriend and still free of it. As long as your partner consistently takes their medications and goes to their medical checks you’ll be fine. For those worried ask your partner to take you to the hospital, certainly gave me comfort seeing how her viral load stayed undetectable for years.

    I believe these individuals suffer from intense OCD/panic disorder or generalized anxiety. I suffer from OCD and ruminations can be horrible. I think a lot of this anxiety and panic is guilt or worry that’s been misdirected. Perhaps these individuals are actually worried about something else, but they hyper focus on an HIV diagnosis. That’s just what comes to mind after hearing your stories.

      You’re very welcome Richard.

Surviving my AIDS diagnosis is also helped because having the undetectable virus was just nothing compared to going through a low Tcell and pneumonia. I feel lucky honestly.

    It’s a form of OCD. Some people will get tested over and over, and disbelieve their results. They definitely need cognitive behavioral therapy. And yes, rapid testing is easier than suffering daily with the belief you are hiv positive.

    Crazy stuff happened. I was sexually assaulted, few days later I started having flu like symptoms. Two weeks later I went to a clinic and asked for STDs testing. They all came back negative. I wasn't convent's because of the window period and two week was too early for testing. So for three months I was sick and had all of the symptoms like crazy. This was the sickest time I ever been in my life. Every glands in my body was swollen and including all of the symptoms you had. Thing started getting worse after my boyfriend started having the same symptoms as me after me. I was so scared, thinking I would never forgive myself if I infected him. I was depressed, I started thinking ways of committing suicide. I started praying like three times a day for three months. I started watching your videos and it helped me to expect what is going to come. I was thinking of the hiv, at the three months mark I finally did Oraquick hiv home test and it came back negative. We still don't know why I was sick this bad. Do you guys think I should test again at the six months park?

    As someone that has become very paranoid about this in the past, thank you for this video. I was so worried about this in the past that I gave myself symptoms. This I realized was a serious OCD/PTSD/Anxiety issue I had that I needed to overcome. Oraquicks are great, Blood tests are better. If you are not positive at 6 to 8 weeks post-exposure with an oraquick it is not likely to change at the 3-month window. However, if you are that worried, a blood test is very accurate at 1 month. Now If I was to have unprotected sex with someone, They are taking an OraQuick first.

Ive had 2 tests after my exposure 1 year and a half ago i had a 10 panel std test after about 3 weeks after the exposure and then i had another one a couple months ago at the 10 month mark is it wise to retest because of a chance of a false negative?

Also you could go 10 years and not know. So.. We all thought we were dying. It did something to me. I worried daily. Noone had answers. Totally messed me up. Later my uncle died from it. Which added to my fears. I was afraid to get tested. So I remained celebate for many years. I stayed away from family because they said you could get from kissing , sharing utensils, sneezing , urine and fecal matter etc. Very detrimental time for me.
