HIV/AIDS

[Guest]

hello Dr. Reiter,

I hope you remember me. It doesn't matter. For these past two weeks, sometimes my right groin area hurts a little (slightly raised). The right groin area is back to normal size now. And sometimes my left groin area hurts (it is normal, not raised). The pain I felt alternates (not everyday though), never together. Sometimes I feel slight pain on my collar bones area (both sides, again not every day). I had an extremely small red dot (one millimeter in diameter) on my left arm which lasted one day and disappeared. I do not have pains anywhere else. Now, I feel slight sore in my throat (somewhat dry feeling). However, I have tested one month beyond 6 months for hiv antibodies using eia 1/2 negative. Should I worry about it and can it be hiv related? For anyone who is infected with hiv virus, how long does it take for the swollen lymph nodes to get back to its normal size after being swollen either during or after ARS?

I also have been paying attention to my solid waste. I noticed that recently my solid waste are not well formed, the surface area is not smooth. It has gaps or openings on the surface. Any comments on this is also greatly appreciated.

My body temperature is in the range of 97.1 to 98.6.

I had a whole day of diarrehia which I suspect from the bbq food yesterday. Can you recommend me which otc medicine?

Eagerly waiting for your response. Thank you.

None of your symptoms are typical of hiv. A negative elisa at 7 months, especially with symptoms that don't send me thinking of hiv is reassuringly negative. The swollen glands of ARS are usually gone by 10 weeks at the most. GR

i had a whole day of diarrehia again. this is two days after the first diarrehia i had two days ago. And my left armpit hurts (there are some pains, noticeable but not extremely painful though). I can't feel any lumps there yet. Again, that seems to be the place where there is some slight pain. Again Please Please Please give me any comments about this. thank you again again. I can't thank you enough.

sincerely,

tom

Tom, you need to see a doctor. I can't diagnose you on the web. There may be something going on with you, but based on the lab tests you've shared, there's no evidence it's HIV. There are textbooks full of diagnoses. HIV's not the only thing that makes people sick. GR
