-- Posted by Anonymous at 5:40 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 I haven't been tested yet, but I'm gonna get the test tomorrow. symptoms since the start of the week: after my first day or two of class, I've been really tired and ached all over. then, I found a small bruise on the inside of my arm. and today, I felt really sick. I've given and recieved oral twice(both at the same time each). in the past six months. both kinda had to see the paperwork to show I've been tested(figured it'd come in handy)...but why would someone infected require to see paperwork to feel comfortable with oral? but anyways, I'm ready to accept the consequences, and never do sexual stuff again. I mean, I thought it was iron dificiency, since I have the same symptoms of being anemic(I've cut down on meats to lose weight, big time).  and the same symptoms appear in smokers too(since I just started smoking a few months ago). but since I've done oral, wouldn't it mean that it's most likely HIV? -- Posted by Hontoshimu at 5:42 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 no -- Posted by Candy Man at 5:42 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 No, sounds like you've just been shootin' heroin. -- Posted by Enigma of Eternity at 5:43 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 I think you're overreacting. -- Posted by BeautifulLies82 at 5:43 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 Go get tested. Your symptoms are much to vague. Also, maybe you should start asking for paperwork. -- Posted by Candy Man at 5:43 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 Quote: from Candy Man at 5:42 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 No, sounds like you've just been shootin' heroin. Tired and aches because of the shitty comedown. And that bruise is a bunch of needle tracks dumbass. -- Posted by thebOsssx3 at 5:43 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 youre probably fine -- Posted by HuffleHaire at 5:43 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 Mono? -- Posted by CarolineLouise at 5:43 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 Either way get tested that way you'll know for sure -- Posted by Innuendo Girl at 5:44 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 don't jump to conclusions yet. you might just have caught a bit of the flu or something, which is causing the weakness. bruises can happen in your sleep if you bump something and you wouldn't even remember it. could be anything, really. but get tested just to be sure. you'll feel better about it afterwards -- Posted by Doubleshift at 5:44 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 Here are some symptoms:http://www.epigee.org/health/hiv_symptoms.html just get yourself tested... -- Posted by Anonymous at 5:50 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 Quote: from Doubleshift at 5:44 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 Here are some symptoms:http://www.epigee.org/health/hiv_symptoms.html   just get yourself tested... I was just there, matter of fact.  I think I may be over reacting.  I talked with a friend, and he reminded me that I did hit my arm while moving furniture into my dad's apartment. I think I may have just heard someone say that HIV can cause extreme fatigue, and being that I'm gay, that may have been it. I don't care what people say, gay men are jerks(some of them), and I didn't really give myself time to think, I just ran home and panicked.  I'll still get tested again,  but I feel better now that a friend put everything into perspective. -- Posted by Reasonable Doubt at 5:56 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 Definatly get tested. It wouldnt hurt to know for sure. But as others have said it could be anything. -- Posted by Anonymous at 6:14 pm on Sep. 25, 2008 omg, I ate something and I feel a whole lot better.  even though I ate breakfast, I guess I forgot to eat the rest of the day.  now I don't even feel achey. -- Posted by ktownchick84 at 4:25 pm on Sep. 27, 2008 oh my goodness are you serious? wow...uhm yah ever heard or mono or fatigue from stress or whatever? geeze.. -- Posted by Doghouse at 5:15 pm on Sep. 27, 2008 you gays are such queens.
