Doctors & Nurses, What Sickness Is This? Or Is It HIV? by rasie: 3:59pm On Jan 08, 2017 |
The thing is:i'm scared shitless right now. For the past few months I've been having a monthly series of flu sickness. I mean every month for over 5months now. The one I'm currently experiencing now has just got me very much scared. Below are the things I'm experiencing now: - Flu(whooping cough and catarrh) - Sleepless nights - Loss of appetite - Weight loss - Body vibration - Tiredness - Stooling (Diarrhea) - Headache - Fever I've read about the fact that most of the above are possible symptoms of the hiv virus and anytime I think of the possibility of me being (i can't even mention it) ,i just feel like dying. Yes I've been living a very promiscuous lifestyle and its more reason for me to be scared of doing a test. Although I've done it before in 2014 and it was negative but since then, there have been a lot of sexcapades. Which brings me to my question directed to doctors or health practitioners : "Is there any other sickness that can be related to those symptoms above apart from Hiv? " To those with the virus already I'd like to ask: "Did you experience something like that before you were confirmed as positive? " Ps: I treated malaria last month by the way. Pss: For all those that will eventually advise me to get a hiv test, save your advise. When last did you do yours? Yes i know that the only way to be sure is to get tested but c'mon guys, una know how e be na. 30 Likes 4 Shares |

Emescot:The incubation period is 10 years. The early symptoms are usually less serious, like sores and other simple infections that can be treated. But your symptoms are draining you of alot of nutrients and energy, you better get treated. (Am not a doctor though) 7 Likes |

rasie:I did a blood test and stool test at a laboratory in my area they just said i have malaria parasites and worm larvae or something, but am just not sure if the test covers HIV too. Cos they didnt tick it in the test result |

rasie: Thanks Op for mentioning. In Medicine, we start treatment by eliminating the most likely cause of a disease so that we avoid treating such wrongly, in this case since your mind is strongly thinking towards that why not close your eyes and eliminate that dreaded disease....at least your mind will be at rest and you can beat your chest and continue positive living. Again even if it turns out positive, never mind the disease is no longer as dreaded as it was in times past. I can tell you that many people on this thread are living with the virus and, their spouse and children are negative. So no worry, try and go for the test and it may not be HIV after all. I can tell you that the fear of getting tested kills faster than the disease, that is the truth. So I beg you try and rule it out and the moment you do I can tell you all those symptoms will disappear completely. Try it today and you will be happy you did. I look forward to hearing from you.

Ehyah, compared to Cancer, HIV is a lesser sickness (my opinion). Just go ahead and run the test to avoid it turning to AIDS #MakeHayWhileTheSunShines 6 Likes 1 Share |

I am also a doctor and can provide some advice. As my colleague above said, there is no other option but to get tested. Particularly because some of the symptoms you mentioned are psychosomatic in nature i.e. your mind and fears causing real physical symptoms (yes it happens!) That being said, there are many things that may be responsible. Do you get dizziness as well? Feeling light headed? Like you will fall down if you are in public? If you have all these symptoms I have mentioned, then be happy. Your problem is more psychological than physical. 28 Likes 2 Shares |
