FabSwingers.com forum: HIV help

Hi everyone.

I slept with a guy for the first time on here nearly 2 weeks ago. I was just curious and wanted to try it. We used protection but it came off inside off him and only noticed when I pulled out. He said the condom was full when he removed it. I never saw this. But he also assured me he only plays safe. And that he wouldn't lie as and empty condom would be a huge concern for him.

I am now displaying flu like symptoms. May be by coincidence but still it has me very worried. I've tried to approach the individual about it but they just blocked me.

I really don't know what to do. Haven't slept in days. Can anybody offer any advice? Has anyone had similar problems?

and I think HIV takes a couple of months to appear.

a postal test can help if you can't get to a clinic.

I'm definitely going to get tested but I can't for at least another 2-3 weeks. I'm also married with kids so I don't know whether anxiety is bringing out the symptoms. The individual concerned has worried me by choosing to block rather than respond.

Get a grip!

And learn about HIV. It's not flu! And you certainly wont get symptoms that quickly.

If you really are worried go to a STD clinic!

"Go and get tested!

It's too early to get tested for hiv, but go to the gum clinic for advice and other tests. Don't trust the often dodgy advice that people put on here about sexual health. Go get checked out by the health professionals.

yes it sounds like you have a cold or flu. HIV takes around 6 months to show symptoms, go to clinic for general screening once its been 2 weeks, then make an app for HIV blood testing for 3 months time.

Ignorance is a dangerous thing. And you have plenty of it!

Sorry to be harsh but HIV is human immunodeficiency virus. You wont get HIV 'symptoms' as through contracting HIV it means you are more susceptible to any illness flu, cancer, shingles, pneumonia it goes on... because your immune system is attacked.

you can not be test for HIV for 4-6 month after the event. that being said go to the GU clinic or Drs and if you are that worried about tit they can start you on precautionary med until they are able to test you.

Op just ring up the clinic and the nurses will talk it through with you, you are worried and you will feel a little better to talk to a qualified clinician. They will advise when to go in for your test etc.

You do have a cold but talking to someone will help the anxiety.

Dont read too much into the blocking, I expect he just can't be bothered with what he sees as drama rather than knowingly having HIV and avoiding you.

From the way the op is talking , he is mega stressed out , and it's quite feasible that the stress is causing the symptoms he is experiencing .

It's highly unlikely he would be having hiv symptoms so soon .

Op - get yourself to a gum clinic asap , for your peace of mind . Once you understand more and the stress eases these symptoms should go .

It's a bit like having a headache and googling your symptoms . After 5 minutes searching you think it's a brain tumour and the symptoms seem worse !

I'm not trying to make light of your plight but seriously , you are letting the stress rule you and you have lost sense of the reality here .

Although there may be a slim chance that you have picked up something , you would be very unlucky if it's as bad as you currently think it is .

Good luck

Thank you for your kind and calming words. I think the worry is ruining me. I used protection and I did see the condom 20/30 secs before I pulled out and lost it. Statistics are on my side but worry and guilt have got me thinking the worst case. Which is obviously still possible.

Were you the top? The risk is greater to the bottom guy. Youre risk is greater if there was any blood/anal tears etc.

As others have said you'd also show symptoms much later.

Saying that if you talk to a clinic they can talk you through things including PEP if necessary. Terrance Higgins Trust has a great phoneline.

Practice more with using rubbers for the future...

OP grow a pair - take responsibility for your actions. If you're adult enough to fuck about then you should be adult enough to manage your own sexual health.

Go get all the tests required. If you're not prepared to be honest with your wife then ensure you do not have sexual interactions with your wife until you have the all clear.

Basically everything which has been said already. Once clear you can get back to business as usual.

The risk of catching hiv from giving (rather than receiving) anal sex from an infected partner is 11 in 10,000 according to the CDC.

You are too late for PEP as you only have a small window period for it to be successful I believe it's 72 hours. Also you wore a condom and even if it came off it reduces the risk of transmission. It takes about 3 weeks however in some cases several months for people to become infected. In a majority of cases you get a rash on the top half of your body and flu like symptoms however some don't even get any of these symptoms. They may do a test now which won't give an accurate result but they will tell you to come back 3 months after the exposure for a more confirmed result. Avoid using Google because it will just scare the crap out of you. Keep calm and get yourself tested and don't sleep with your wife until you have been given the all clear..

As people say, go get tested and, if you are really this worried, I am a little surprised that you can't prioritise this in your life for another 3 weeks.

Also you need to have a serious talk with your wife. You're on here, one assumes to play away, and that means you have not only lied to her, but to every person who read your profile.

But anyhoo; important thing is no sex until you have been tested AND talk to your wife. The truth will set you free!

From what you have described, it's highly unlikely that you have picked up HIV. To catch HIV you need to exchange bodily fluids such as blood, semen and vaginal fluids. The symptoms you say you're experiencing maybe psychosomatic or could be that you just picked up a virus and homing in on it after scaring yourself from what you've read on the internet.

As others have said, best you go to the doctor or your local GUM clinic. Yes, it's too early to get tested, but the medical professionals would give you much better advice.

I do hope you have the decency to explain to your wife why you can't have unprotected sex its her for the foreseeable future. It was your choice to cheat, don't make her suffer the consequences of any infections you have picked up.

Like other posters have said, get to a gum clinic pronto.

D*unken curiousity? No disrespect but man up and face the potential consequences of your actions. You got yourself in this situation. You are making excuses to not get checked for a few weeks and refusing to tell your partner. If you are as stressed as you claim do you not think she's spotted something is wrong?

You're clearly in a panic about this so go and speak to a professional about it.

That being said whatever you are currently suffering from it will definitely not be related to HIV or AIDS possibly caught from sec you had 2 weeks ago even if you had actually contracted the virus at the time. AIDS is a progressive condition that can take years to become symptomatic if ever.

Stop panicking and find the facts.

I'd say the responsibility lies with both but, for my own protection, I would take precautions that assumed the other had any of these and was not saying.

At least that's what I'm saying sitting at home totally sober and un horny. And that's the problem with good advice.

You won't have ruined your life, and you are very, very unlikely to have HIV. Things spiral in your mind when you don't have anyone to talk to about them. Go get yourself tested and don't let it get out of proportion in your head.

I didn't write this for attention just worried and have nobody close to talk to.

I am speaking to a HIV councillor later today. I WONT be engaging in any inter course until cleared. And I do not blame anyone other than myself.

Again thanks for your comments.

You always seem to be able to say in a few what I'm often trying to say in many.

Good luck.

Sure you'll be fine, but if you do continue on the scene, please get checked regularly. People often assume if you use condoms, you'll not catch anything, but don't forget theyare not 100% safe.

Take care.

If I'm not positive then I don't think I should turn her world upside down. Im a horrible person for what I've done and ill always have to live with that. I definitely will not be meeting anyone behind her back again. Sorry if my behaviour offended anyone, I acted on impulse without sparing thought for consequence

You should still tell her you cheated though

you're obviously drawn to men. Are you sure it won't happen again?

I have been going for years to the GUM clinic and they have never asked to contact anyone. They have however asked me to do it; which is very reasonable.

What you suggest will turn people off going to the GUM clinic for fear their sexual partners will be harassed by the NHS. Not a helpful comment I would suggest.

If you are sexually active the chances are you will have had sex with someone with hiv"

I think that is the biggest crock of shit that I have ever read on here.

Do you really think you should be on here still if you have said you won't cheat on her again.

I do not find men attractive. It was a tvts. I did not enjoy it and actually felt sick during the act. It extinguished any curiosity I thought I may have had.

I believe some clinics offer to contact previous partners anonymously on your behalf if you've got something, and if you want them to, but that's a completely different thing. I agree, that's a really unhelpful comment when more people should be encouraged to go to clinics!

"Hi everyone.

I am now displaying flu like symptoms. May be by coincidence but still it has me very worried. I've tried to approach the individual about it but they just blocked me.

I really don't know what to do. Haven't slept in days. Can anybody offer any advice? Has anyone had similar problems?"

It takes several months for HIV to manifest itself within the blood. It takes a longer time still for you to get symptoms.

There is alot of seasonal flu going round right now - I've had it for a month almost myself.

Phone your GUM clinic, go for a test. Then go again in another three months. Then three months after that. You should be doing that anyway. Also tell them that you have sex with men so that they give you your Hep B jab - it's the responsible thing to do.

"I'm definitely going to get tested but I can't for at least another 2-3 weeks. I'm also married with kids so I don't know whether anxiety is bringing out the symptoms. The individual concerned has worried me by choosing to block rather than respond. "

You also need to tell your wife and get her tested on the same schedule as you. You HAVE to do this for her.

I'm in here to talk to people with experience in what I'm going through. If I'm tested as positive I need to let the person concerned know.

Also I think this thread will be useful to others who are Afraid to ask due to the hate messages on here.

How else would he explain how he got HIV if he did have it?

No hate from me just pity for your wife.

And kid. Because HIV doesn't always get caught straight away in testing. And it can be transferred through cuts before it's caught.

"Thank you for your kind and calming words. I think the worry is ruining me. I used protection and I did see the condom 20/30 secs before I pulled out and lost it. Statistics are on my side but worry and guilt have got me thinking the worst case. Which is obviously still possible. "

Yes -it's possible - but not probable! You're clearly under a massive amount of stress through both guilt and worry! I'd say, therefore, that unless you join fab as a couple with your wife, then swinging isn't for you! As has been implied before - I think it's more likely that the guy blocked you because you 'pestered' him than because he has a 'guilty secret'. If he's gay or fully bi in this community then it's fair to assume that he takes all reasonable precautions to assure his (and therefore your) sexual health!

Good luck op! X

Have you had unprotected sexual contact with your wife in the 2 weeks since you had anal sex with a man? Get to a clinic and fingers crossed that all concerned parties are clear

It takes at least 3 months for HIV / HEP C to incubate so it not either of these but get a check up straight away to make sure, i think its just a cold.

O o O oo

Can people please let others ask for advice about something serious as this without derailing it so people can turn on married men again as it puts people off from posting when every thread turns to "married cheating scum"

To the people who gave good advice I am sure the OP appreciates it.

To the OP....I hope you feel a bit better now with the good advice you have had, good luck at the clinic.
