Common Questions and Answers about Anxiety test questionnaires during in the students during clinical exposure
anxiety
low grade fever/chills, hot flashes/sweats, sore throat, mildly swollen lymph nodes in neck, atypical headache (more upper posterior neck but also in the temples and mild tenderness over the sinuses), and loss of appetite with a bloating sensation. Now I really start to flip out (I dont even know if this sounds like HIV or more like a different illness) but I become exceedingly scared. And my family is like, "wow, you really came down with a bad bug".
My behavior is unprotected oral sex and intraoral ejaculation. Sexual behavior with protection. For Chinese students, the student life more erosion rumors. Expected coital number is 10. She told me her sexual intercourse, sexual intercourse are protected. I and the other made a total of three protected sex. One of her menses is expected to. A small amount of blood. But every time you have sex when I was cleaning. Now the heart is fear. Today just four weeks. I need to go to the CDC test?
She uses protection and had a recent negative test. The risk of infection does not seem in the high range, given we stopped quickly and washed the blood away. Nonetheless, I am anxious.
I assume the plan of action would be to wait 6-8 weeks to test and then put it behind me-but would testing sooner be of any value-for example, if I test now due to the symptoms would the test be positive if it is HIV? GTiven the sweat running down my face, any reassurance is welcome.
re going to be teaching students in person, anyone who watches the news knows that middle school students aren't complying all that well. Your babysitter is much less likely to be a problem. As for PPE, any mask will do if it's thick enough and worn properly, so you need to test your babysitter by having them demonstrate to you they know how to wear it properly. Finding someone in a family you know is about the best you can do with any babysitter at any time.
I went to a public STD clinic in New York City to get tested for HIV and the counselor who performed the rapid test did not wear gloves. Thankfully she couldn't to find a big enough vein in my arm so rather than draw blood first (which seems to be their standard procedure in case of a positive result) she went ahead and pricked my finger. I was so nervous about getting tested that I neglected to ask her to put any gloves on. Am I at any risk for HIV?
However, during the window period I still engaged in risky activity. My last hiv test was 19 weeks after the exposure with the known hiv positive individual. Considering that I had multiple exposure during the window period starting April 9 and ending August 30th. If I was indeed infected on April 9 three months following would I still test positive at the respected time ? Since I had other exposure during the window period would that delay my seroconversion from August 9 ?
The Guidelines state, “To date, no transmission to health care workers from an exposure source during the window period has been detected in the United States.”
Therefore, investigation of whether a source patient might be in the “window period” is unnecessary for determining whether HIV PEP is indicated unless acute retroviral syndrome is clinically suspected, or recent high-risk exposure has occurred.
After I had ejaculated I realized there was a hole in the tip of the condom where my urethra is located. The hole was about the size of a very small pea. The second I realized there was a hole in the condom I immediately started to think the worst. "Do I have herpes?" "Is it possible I received HIV or another life altering STD/STI?" About 3 weeks later I had a small bubble appear where the head of my penis meets the shaft. This worried me, and I believed it was herpes.
That being said, MOST newly infected people test + within mere weeks of the exposure. With the advancement of test sensitivity, it would be unlikely in most cases for it to take 3 months to test +. A negative at about 6-8 weeks is VERY VERY unlikely to change.
As for your anxiety, my reply above from 2008 would still be relevant. Sadly, most people in these situations are WAY more anxious than the situation warrants.
This is what Dr HHH from HIV Expert Forum says about such cases:
" It is very rare to catch HIV after any single exposure with a commercial sex worker: most sex workers don't have HIV, and when a woman is infected, there is an average 1 in 2,000 chance of transmission for each episode of vaginal sex. (Many spouses of infected partners remain free of HIV after many years of unprotected sex.
The girl was on top of me and when she got off my penis slipped out of the condom. The condom was still in her vagina. During the intercourse the condom was in place, so I do not think my penis has been in direct contact with her vagina. Does this episode constitute unprotected sex? If it does, should I get retested in three months?
Another time I performed unprotected cunnilingus on a girl (not a prostitute).
It was broken from the top. I am not sure at which point it broke during the act, but I know that it was in the final moments. I know this because my penis had slipped out a minute prior, and when I re-inserted, I saw that the condom was on.
I immediately washed my penis with warm water after it was over. I also asked her how often she gets tested. She said every 3 months, and she also mentioned her time to test again was coming up.
Further, even if the rumors were true, the exposure was low as well- HIV is not transmitted by receipt of oral sex or masturbation.
Finally, your test results are conclusive and should be believed. Three days of prednisone take weeks after a possible exposure would not prevent or delay antibody production. your test results are definitive and you do not need further testing.
As for your specific questions:
1. Can 3 days of 40mg of prednisone cause a false neg?
1) Your exposure was low risk and the absence of symptoms in the next 2 months is strong evidence you weren't infected with anything.
2) No. See above.
3) Misdiagnosis is unlikely. Recognizing and diagnosing vaginal yeast infections is very simple and well within the capapbility of providers even with very rudimentary training. In any case, don't assume your doctor is not well trained. Many developing countries have very sophisticated medical communities.
The plus side of anxiety is that it keeps you on your toes and motivated to do well and the down side is that it can derail you during the test. My son with anxiety has found a few things help. One is that he takes deep breaths. If he pictures blowing out candles on a cake, for example, it helps him get the deep calming breaths he needs. He also is in high school and is allowed to have chewy mints in class. These help I two ways.
