Thank you to those who responded to me...please try to understand my fears...I have extremely dry skin (although that was there I think before my encounter) and now a dry mouth. I was tested negative after 5 months but I stil have the brainfog, cannot think too well, yawning, feel sleepy all the time, imbalance, at one or two instances did not feel I could move my arm as well as I do usually..I mean surely, I have cause to be worried, no?and these sensatios started after the encounter ( I contracted herpes type 1 from that person).

Yet, everyone is saying I should not be worried about HIV after two tests (one after one month and one after 5 months).

Darn...living a hell here.

you do not have HIV. it sounds like you have an illness anxiety that can be treated. please go to the stress and anxiety board and see if you can find comfort there. you really don't have HIV.. the brain fog is your body telling you to chill out, i think anyway.

I agree, you really do need to chill out. It sounds like alot of your symptoms are due to the mental stress you are putting on your body. These ARE NOT being caused by HIV and you know this due to your five month negative test.

Of course you may have some other ilness that is giving you these symptoms and i am sure it isnt even close to as serious as HIV could have been. So either chill out and see if your symptoms go away or go to the doc and see if he can find out if it is some other minor problem causing the dry skin etc. cause it IS NOT HIV!!!!!!!
