im losing my mind because i got every hiv symptoms there is please help
i went to another health board and they helped me clear my anxiety so much until i went and looked again and seen this guy said he was freaking out because he googles hiv rish and said his looked simular to it, well one of the things ive been experiencing lately is peeling skin on my hands
i went to go to google and the first picture was of peeling hands, do i clicked on it and it brought me to this website that said hives were also a skin condition when you conracted it which is omsething i didnt know ebfore, and ive also been having hives but thought nothing of it cause ive recently discovered i have allergies. now my mind set is all screwed up and im conviced again and my anxiety levels are gonna go through the roof please help
ive been having so much more symptoms other then that
loss of weight
swollen lymph nodes (im pretty sure)
easy brusing
mild headaches
had a dry mouth
and more
i talked to my doctor about it and he said the symptoms were most likely from anxiety and he gave me an hiv test which turned out neagtive but im not seond guessing that i took it too early. please help im freaking out.

Hey Amber.
If the test came out negative, you're fine. And if you took the test too early, the symptoms shouldn't be there either. When do you think you got the virus?
I think you're fine, and as the doctor said, it is possible that anxiety can cause physical symptoms, such as peeling hands...

hey thanks for the reply. im pretty sure i was over the 3 months mark, which is apparently a conclusive result but these symptoms are really getting to me, i could go on&on and they all are a possible effect of hiv which scares me.
And the scariest thing about it is this thought of me having it was brought on by me experimenting with alchohol and i was with friends and they went home and i went to a friends house 2 blocks up the street and i remebr being there but i dont remeber coming home, and now a million things run through my mind. so thats what got me to get tested.
and yeah, it seems so unlikely thou !
i dont get how anxiety would randomly cause your skin to peel. :s
its so frusteration, especially because most of the symptoms came after the test :/ but as of today its been like at least 4 or 5 months since the possible encounter

that's for sure then - you you do not have hiv. Despite the fact you got tested before the symptoms occurred - it is a conclusive result.
Regarding skin peeling - it could be caused by excessive sweating, which can be connected to anxiety. Another reasons for peeling skin could be dry skin or fungal infection. in this case, I suggest a dermatologist.
