Is there anyway to tell that you have aids?

Question

I am scared that I have aids. I had sex last week just right out of the blue so my boyfriend didn't have on a condom. I am only 14, so that's another thing. I wasn't on my period though. I have noticed some rashes in my mouth and I have heard that AIDS and cause that.

Can you tell that you have aids without going to the doctor?

i am not on the pill

Answer 1

Hello,

Aids do not sure up immediately as far as i am aware of. here are some symptoms you should look for

You may remain symptom-free for 8 or 9 years or more. But the virus continues to multiply and destroy immune cells. Tests are likely to show a sharp decline in the number of these cells in your blood. Eventually, you may develop mild infections or chronic symptoms such as:

Swollen lymph nodes — often one of the first signs of HIV infection
Diarrhea
Weight loss
Fever
Cough and shortness of breath
During the last phase of HIV — which occurs approximately 10 or more years after the initial infection — more serious symptoms may begin to appear, and the infection may then meet the official definition of AIDS

AIDS SYMPTOMS

Soaking night sweats
Shaking chills or fever higher than 100 F for several weeks
Dry cough and shortness of breath
Chronic diarrhea
Persistent white spots or unusual lesions on your tongue or in your mouth
Headaches
Blurred and distorted vision
Weight loss
You may also begin to experience signs and symptoms of later stage HIV infection itself, such as:

Persistent, unexplained fatigue
Soaking night sweats
Shaking chills or fever higher than 100 F for several weeks
Swelling of lymph nodes for more than three months
Chronic diarrhea
Persistent headaches

Most of the time you can't tell you have to take a blood test....good luck

Answer 4

Dear, you should NEVER be having sex without protection and certainly NOT at the age of 14. You are way too young. You will need to go to the doctor for some counseling and a blood test for HIV, and then repeated testing. And what does your period have to do with anything? That won't save you from AIDS or any other STD. Get to a doctor pronto!

Answer 5

You have a rash in your mouth. Did you perform oral sex on him? Even if you didn't, the one STD that causes a rash is syphilis. Like everyone else has previously stated, it takes more than just a few days to get AIDS. To begin with, you don't get AIDS, you get HIV. HIV then can turn ito AIDS as it progresses. If you have a rash in your mouth, you shold go to the doctor. They will swab the rash and probably culture it. You should let them know that you are sexually active and that you had unprotected sex.

Answer 6

You may have a rash for something else which is called sexual transmitted disease also known as STD's . Unfortunately you can only find out if you do have aids from having to go to the dr's and getting your blood drawn which is strictly confidental. or going to the ER they can also check for you. You are 14 and I only hope that you will take better care of yourself and use condoms it's not worth the worry right?

Answer 7

Firstly, AIDS takes much longer to show symptoms than just a few days. It can take years for people to develop symptoms. You need to take a deep breath and calm down...then educate yourself more on HIV/AIDS.

The only way to know for certain is by having a blood test.

Here is a site that has good information on HIV and AIDS.
