Hi, I just want my peace of mind back or maybe some advice on whether I should get tested again.
I did some horrible things that I'm ashamed of everyday.
In late August 2011 like the 23rd or so, I slept with an escort. She performed brief unprotected oral, I didn't ejaculate in her mouth. Then we had protected sex.
Then sometime in September 2011 I slept with another escort, she gave me brief oral but it was protected by a condom. Then we had protected sex.
Then in October 2011 I slept with some girl I met online. She gave me brief unprotected oral and protected sex.
During the 1st and 3rd incident there was some condom slippage I think.
Sometime between these incidents I got pretty sick. I had a bad fever and cold symptoms. I've read that those are symptoms of when you first get HIV.
After these 3 incidents several months later something showed up by my penis called mulloscum contagiosum. Apparently you can get it from skin to skin contact, it isn't considered a STI.
I was so stupid back then, I didn't know you could get HIV from oral sex. I had no idea. I figured if I was safe during intercourse everything would be fine and the slippage scares the hell out of me.
My stress level built up very high until finally around June 6th 2012 I went in to get tested. I had a test to see if I had the main STI's, they did a blood draw to check if I had HIV.
A few days later I got the results back, I was negative for everything.
Then again my stress level built up and I went in to get tested again around November 24th 2012 at a different place. They did a rapid test, where they prick your finger and check your blood. Once, again they said I was negative and told me to stop worrying.
So a quick summary, I got tested 8-10 months and 13-15 months after my horribly stupid mistakes.
I haven't had sex since.

The reason I'm still worried is because I don't feel normal. My mulloscum has pretty much cleared up. But I still have one pop up from time to time. The doctor said it should take from 2-5 years to be gone.
But the main reason I'm still worried is my body temp has changed I think. I used to be pretty cool like 97 degrees or so. Just estimating the couple times I've checked my temp. it was around 99. I don't know if I got it checked at a bad time or something cause I don't have a thermometer at the moment. Maybe it's the stress I don't know.

I've done a ton of online research and I read all over and was told by a doctor that if you get tested 3months after a possible exposure you are safe, negative, and have nothing to worry about. Only in one place did I find in very rare cases it can take 6 months to get a positive test result. I just look at the huge risks I took, and my change in body temp and I think maybe I'm an oddball and it's taking my body longer or they somehow screwed up the test.
Please respond I need advice to help me.View Thread

Posted by Purplegland

1.5 years ago I was injected with a needle used by 2 other people I knew, and it was rinsed in alcohol. I wouldn't have known anything until I heard the day after that the other dude (one of em)'s girlfriend was tested positive for something which she denies is HIV and is just herpes or HPV. noticed recently a giant lymph node popping out visible, but he is only 19 and I loked in pictures and he said he had it his whole life and pictures 2-3 years old still had. Anyways, onto the symptoms. 2 weeks after, I noticed some weird stuff. I felt something like a cold sore coming in and when to the mirror and lifted up my lip and on the lower lip, spread out were like 3 canker sore like things, and one on my tongue. I was thinking crud the herpes kicked in. I checked my body for everything every day, and really that was the only thing at first. Quickly after it was like a stiff neck, felt like tiny busses were driving out of the muscle, and at the time I didn't know what it was but I knew there was a pain in my neck and back of the head, and under both my ears. There was also aching under my Jaw, both sides, and so I went searching and discovered a lymph node on each side of the jaw each about an inch in diameter and can move them all the way up near my cheek so I can play with it when it aches. When I took a poop, it came out LITERALLY silver/grey. That was it for then, but the aching in the nodes never went away. So the aching continued and I was smoking at the time every day, and started getting a hot sensation, still get it, no sweating at night it just feels like my head is a hot filled balloon and my forehead feels really hot but no temp.(still almost evry night) When I was smoking, I kept getting recurrent abthous ulcers, maybe 1-2 a month and sometimes light pink itchy patches would come and go within the hour. 3-4 months after I got really bad bronchitis it could have been pneumonia. Still not really a temp. In the winter the apthous ulcers were worse, and I remember getting a really dry white patch sorta thing on my lip corner, where Vaseline wouldn't unchap it. I noticed I couldn't smoke anymore..when I smoked I would develop a deadly cough that wasn't bearable and coughing would continue. I got eczema like a really orangey red waxy patch on my thigh 6 months in and lasted like 4 months. Same deal, aching lymph nodes. Then a year passed and I had like 2 weeks of straight diahrrea. No illness. I got tiny red dots everywhere on my hand, and it tingled and burned a little later too (symptoms never happened at same time). Under my ears my lymph nodes on both are hard as rock, and I have gotten sick where lymph nodes in neck get HUGE and bulge like once. 14 months in I get sore throat, had tests came bak neg for strep, no white spots, with a bad rash on leg with what looked like to be mosquito bites but weren't, and went up whole calf. with sore throat I had thrush, its been a newer thing. Id also like to mention about 6 months in I noticed an orangey waxy spot on my genital area, its just skin no sores or anything but it changed color and stayed. I had a cold sore only once and in mouth, and that was 5 months in or so and never has come back. On my knees I don't know if its a rash but every time I get out of the shower it gets irritated and loks like a rash, and tiny pimple like things developed and sort of mimic a rash, and same with on the hair follicles on my foot. Both feet both knees. In the past 6 months canker sores and apthous ulcer haven't come back. I can feel lymph nodes in back of neck pushing in deep and feeling them semi-hard, and hard under ears still buy not visible. Still in jaw, and in groin slight discomfort but nothing noticeable and I think in chest too, in the pects area. Smellier toe nails too. Not really sick tho, haven't had a cough, I did have a sinus infection antibiotic right now. HIV?View Thread
