hey ddd2222 , you seem knowledgable on the subject of HIV....
what do you think about mono like illness 2 days after exposure? and toenail fungus and hand fungus as one of the first signs of hiv manifestation...
also the prevelence of warts on hands...
thanx
MrD

i just repeat stuff i've read. i really can't help with symptoms. i can tell you that from what i read ars normally begins 2 to 4 weeks after exposure and is described as the worse flu you ever had. skin problems can be related to stress, but it's best to get them checked by your doctor.
i too am a worried well, going for my 13 week test next week and am very anxious and scared myself.
what was your exposure?

unprotected vaginal , as the insertive partner....
about 3 yrs ago.... I haev opted for the home access test, which i will be taking next week...
MrD

i've read the risk from a one time unprotected vaginal exposure as the insertive partner is 1/8000.

your results at 3 yrs will be conclusive. the odds are in your favor from a one time exposure.

good luck on your test.

Your symptoms certainly do not sound like HIV. Ive never heard of warts, or toe/finger nail fungus as a sign of infection. Also, symptoms two days after exposure would be highly unlikley.

Albeit they are not direct symptoms, they can correlate with HIV because they are more relevant with a weakened immune system (their frequency is high with those infected with HIV I have read). It's funny the more research you do on the subject; the more things can be related. ahahaa

MrD

try to stay away from searching the net for symptoms. you can find anything if you try hard enough.
good luck with your test, the odds are in your favor from a one time exposure if the person is infected.
