(Protected oral, and licking chocolate off a stripper&#8217;s chest). Until now, I&#8217;ve had the following tests:<\/p>\n<p>30 Days &#8211; Duo &#8211; negative<br \/>\n60 Days &#8211; Dou  &#8211; negative<br \/>\n70 Days &#8211; GUM &#8211; Clinic antibody negative<br \/>\n80 Days &#8211; Insti test Negative<br \/>\n5 months &#8211; GUM Clinic Antibody negative.<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that I have been having a lot of symptoms since the event occurred including fever, night sweats, weight loss, swollen tonsils, and now i&#8217;ve developed twitching.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been to the GP several times and they are puttting everything down to anxiety, and hence, I have tried councelling and even hypnotherapy.  The problem is that I am feeling more and more fatigued, severe headaches, and have been feeling miscoordinated.  I have had a fungal infection on my penis and I am still extremely worried that I have HIV.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the twitching, I have finally been referred to a neurologist, and it has been suggested that I have an MRI done.<\/p>\n<p>What are the chances that these symptoms are related to HIV and not something else.<\/p>\n<p>Many thanks for this wonderful informative website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-324","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-all-topics","category-hiv-transmission"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=324"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24686,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/324\/revisions\/24686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=324"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=324"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/i-base.info\/qa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=324"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
