I'm scared if I have HIV
by tandy123, Aug 19, 2008 02:06PM
Hello Doctor,
I had sex with a prostitute around april or may 2006.
I was on top of her.As soon as I started within about 5 min , i heared a bursting sound
and she said condom broke. I got sweat at the right moment
and took mine out after may be a stroke and saw that the condom
broke. I observed and found there was no liquid on my penis, but was afraid
and asked her if she has HIV. she said no. But I was constantly
worried if I would have got HIV. Within a week, I tested for HIV.
I don't remember the name of the HIV test exactly but the person said enzyme something and
its very accurate. I'm still confused if it was a
HIV antibody test or a viral load test. But the result was given in less
than two hours. It was negative. I was relaxed then.
After that I was never sick. I don't remember having a common cold or flu this two years.
By January when I was brushing in the morning one day , I saw that hairlike
white skin particles are coming out from both of my cheeks and there was small white hairlike
particles on both the side of my toungue. I rubbed
on it with my brush and got most of them removed from cheek, but not tongue and thought it came as I
had lot of whiskey the before night and because of the heat.
And then I noticed that it never went . Every morning something would be
sticking which i remove by brushing, but it doesn't
completely goes of. some white traces would be there.
four months before I went to my university clinic and said that I have these since like 4 months.
the lady asked if I smoke and if I have diabeties.I said I smoke
often and I don't think I have diabetes. She gave some
tablet which I don't remember the name and asked to keep it
in both sides of cheek for sometime and swallow.
But I noticed nothing was effective. It remained the same.
After that I didn't have time to go to her again.
three weeks before I went to her again saying that the white
hairlike things were not gone and she asked if I have HIV.
It shocked me. And then I asked if I have to take any test.
She said let's try this medicine and gave me "NYSTATIN" 10,000 units or something was
written on it. I used it as prescribed to keep in mouth
for 5 to 10 mins and i did the same, it was not
effective too. I googled for nystatin and found tat
they use it for oral thrush and it shd get away
within the treatment or its a sympotom of HIV.
Im very much stressed since three weeks.
It gets better in the afternoon after I have my food and gets back again in the morning.
My mouth is usually dry always.
Would it be a thrush and symptom of HIV?
Please advise me doctor.

if you have had unprotected intercourse...and didnt test out til 3 months after your potential exposure...then you need to do so. NOT because i think you have hiv...but because it's just good to know.
I saw in some posts tat it would not be thrush if it doesn't go by treating with Nystatin..
I'm scared to death.
What are the other possible symptoms which can occur after a person is infected for 2 and half years.?
