Worried STD

Hi . I need to note that we are not medical professionals and cannot, for your protection, provide medical advice or diagnostics over the internet. As noted in this article on transmission, there are only six bodily fluids that can transmit HIV - blood, semen, rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, breast milk, and precum: https://h-i-v.net/transmission. This article from our editorial team has information on early symptoms: https://h-i-v.net/symptoms. There are multiple potential causes of the symptoms you described. The fear of getting tested is certainly understandable, but it is the only way to confirm your status and early treatment, whether HIV or some other condition, is best. This article discusses the various tests and the testing windows: https://h-i-v.net/test-types. Please know that this community is here for you and feel free, if you like, to keep us posted on how you are doing or to ask additional questions. Best, Richard (Team Member)

Alafia (Peace) Thank you for reaching out to us. My rule of law is, if you think you put yourself at risk then you are at risk. Try to push past your fear and get tested. The mental well-being which goes along with absolutely knowing your status is unmatched. Khafre (H-I-V.net Team Member)
