Dear Doc,
First of all I would like to thank you for your amazing efforts in clearing doubts of many people & helping them across the world. I am under big mental torture since last 11 months here in Dubai. I was a 30 years old Indian male (uncircumcised) virgin.
First Sex- First I did vaginal sex with condom, then she removed the condom and put another for oral sex as per my wish. Then this was also removed and put new condom for final stage vaginal sex. It took about 25 minutes with her and finally I ejaculate.I didn’t do anal sex. I was on top of her full time and don’t know whether the condom broke as she didn't told anything and for me it was first time sex. In between sex she put some gel inside her vagina. My knee portion has touched her vagina in between sex.
Symptom on Day 1- On that day night my body temperature was a bit high with body pain and I was a bit feared. I forgot the instance after that.
Symptom on Day 3- One small bump was seen on my thighs and my penis end was a bit tender. This also I didn't take much serious.
Symptoms third month after exposure- February 2014 I noticed that the Chinese Sex worker is not online on what’s app. I tried calling her to check whether she is there in the country. But her mob was switched off and her flat was vacated. From that time my fear increased. My body temperature was a bit high hence I remembered about her. After that I experienced sore throat and muscle ache during February-March 2014. At that time my body weight was 112 KG and Height was Six Feet. I started walking in nearby garden to reduce my weight and on first day I walked 5-7 Kilometres straight. After that I could find that the nerves on my legs are a bit bulged and having pain. I had difficulty in walking at that time. I thought that this may be due to continuous walking after long period. The entire left side of my body was paining during March 2014. I was having sore throat at night and was little sweating with muscle ache. I started keeping water bottle near my bed at night as I am felt thirsty during sleep. It didn’t go more than one week and i thought I am normal.
Symptoms after ninth month of possible exposure- I was fully down as I could see that I also have some symptoms as i started searching in Google. The symptoms which are troubling me now is listed below-
1. My waist size is reduced and my total weight is now 106 KG. My waist size was 40 CM before and now its 36-38 CM (Don’t know whether this is because I stopped having beer since last 4-5 months or is it fat loss after HIV Infection?)
2. The veins are visible on my hands, palms and legs. (Is it because of Fat loss after HIV infection?)
3. My hands are getting a bit thin as i could put the buttons of certain shirts which were not possible before. (Is it because of Fat loss after HIV infection?)
4. Tingling sensation across my hands, legs, fingers, scalp and face. (Is it because of peripheral neuropathy?)
5. Wrist pain and pain in fingers of legs and hands.
6. Pain on Scalp and left side of head. Sometimes on back side of head. I saw that there is a bulging in back side of head. I have noticed these bulging months before I had first sex that is in July 2013. Didn’t take much care of it at that time. But now I am nervous. (Is this because of Meningitis or peripheral Neuropathy in HIV?)
7. More sputum since last 5 months. I am spitting more. (Is it because of lung disorder in HIV?)
8. Pain across the shoulders and legs. Sometimes it’s more as its worst. (Is it fatigue?)
9. Bumps on my triceps and small red dots on my hands. Sometimes I feel it has a foul smell (Is it HIV Bumps which came two months back and the marks are still there.)
10. Body temperature sometimes a bit high. (Mainly Hands, Neck area and Palms)
11. Itching sometimes across the body. (This started since I changed my soap. My friend who is using the same brand soap also has itching and after changing that brand I don’t have itching)
12. I am gloomy full time due to the mental torture and sometimes feel like head is rotating.
13. Can’t sleep sometimes as dreams are coming bad and my back side of head is paining.
14. Peeling of skin on my palms. (This also started recently may be because I changed my soap and climate also changed)
15. Lips are dry and having dry mouth sometimes. Mainly at Night. (Dont know whether its because of hot climate in Dubai)
16. Back and body pain. Neck pain is there on left side and sometimes I feel like the veins on my neck are tightened and bulged sometimes.
17. Jaw pain is also there sometimes.
18. Gastric problems and white discharge along with stool. ( I am facing this difficulty since past 3 to 4 years before first sex)
19. Shortness of breath is also there. Sometimes pain in heart area, chest and ribs.
20. Excess Urination was there for two weeks. (Dont know whether its because of climate change)
I am facing lot of mental pressure at this time. I lost my concentration in work and rejected another good job offer because I am not confident due to back head pain. I will get tested in Jan-Feb 2015 when I go to my home town but I am feared of that. I don’t know why this is happening. Hence thought of asking your suggestion as you are a God in front of me now. Please let me know whether all these symptoms will occur in HIV just 11 months after first sex. I am doing full research online around five hours per day and many sites are saying it differently. Some are taking these as advanced HIV Symptoms while others are saying it can occur anytime. I will become mad if things are going like this. Hence please let me know what you feel from this. I am truly ashamed of having my first sex with a sex worker and don’t know whether this will spoil my future. I may be deported from UAE if I am HIV Positive. I am an Architect and my parents are searching girls for me to get married. I am depressed and can’t tell about my situation to anybody. If I am having HIV my parents will commit suicide as they won’t be able to face the society. I am the earning member in my family. Hence please help me and provide me an answer. Am I such an unlucky guy to get AIDS in first sex? It’s been 11 months since I had first sex. I had first sex on 16th November 2013. Second Sex i was much careful. Awaiting your valuable reply and prayers.
Regards,
PK
