Answer 1

You need to tell your parents right away. Then you need to see a doctor.

Answer 2

i know it is scary and i wont bash you for having sex at such a young age when you can be concentrating more on school and not lets say if your girlfriend gave you aids or not cause that shouldnt be one of your worries right now it should be did i get an a in my health class. honey you need to tell your dad or whoever so that you can go get a test done to make sure. i dont know if they have a clinic out where you are where it is free but at your age i think you still need some kind of parent there. i pray you dont and hopefully this will stop your actions so soon knowing that even a rubber is not 100% proof. you are so young with your symptoms doesnt really sound like aids hopefully the girl is not pregnant but get tested whatever you do get tested. and wait now a little longer before going that route again

Answer 3

Aids are u kiddin me? Ru sure that u dont have like mono or sumthin? i cant help u there kid! The only way u can find out is if u get tested! And the average human loses alot of strands of hair! dude u shouldnt be sleepin around at 13! Im 18 and i still havent slept with anyone!

Answer 4

you don't have AIDS. You've been having sex for 2 months, AIDS needs on average 10 years to become AIDS. It starts off as HIV+ where you will feel like you have a bad flu for about a week (maybe less or more) and then you feel fine. I've read that about 50% of people with AIDS didn't find out until it was AIDS (that's how sneaky it is).
BUT, you don't have it. You may be under a lot of stress, though because of school or your dad or because you are too young to be having sex!!!!!

Answer 5

Umm..go to the doctor. It is not likely aids. You are just freaking about nothing. Just a simple case of mono or malnutrition can cause you to lose hair or be tired. In any case go to the doctor and tell him you symptoms. He will run some tests, but also ask for an STD, STI, and AIDS screening. It will be okay, as long as she has not flat out said that has aids she probably doesnt. Ask her if she has them. More than likely you are just freaking about nothing. Goodluck, if you need moral support my myspace name is myspace.com/lyndzey_j.

Answer 6

yea, i'm not gonna bash you either about having sex young. I did, and I dont regret it because I waited almost 2 years to have sex with my first serious boyfriend in high school. BUT it doesnt sound like you have AIDS. Your just freakin yourself out. If you really want to know for sure, just go to the clinic and they can help you out there. I also suggest though, that if you dont want to have anymore scares like these...that you dont have sex until your older, OR maybe you and your gf could get tested together....

What are the early symptoms of HIV infection?

Many people do not develop any symptoms when they first become infected with HIV. Some people, however, get a flu-like illness within three to six weeks after exposure to the virus. This illness, called Acute HIV Syndrome, may include fever, headache, tiredness, nausea, diarrhoea and enlarged lymph nodes (organs of the immune system that can be felt in the neck, armpits and groin). These symptoms usually disappear within a week to a month and are often mistaken for another viral infection.

During this period, the quantity of the virus in the body will be high and it spreads to different parts, particularly the lymphoid tissue. At this stage, the infected person is more likely to pass on the infection to others. The viral quantity then drops as the body's immune system launches an orchestrated fight.

More persistent or severe symptoms may not surface for several years, even a decade or more, after HIV first enters the body in adults, or within two years in children born with the virus. This period of "asymptomatic" infection varies from individual to individual. Some people may begin to have symptoms as soon as a few months, while others may be symptom-free for more than 10 years. However, during the "asymptomatic" period, the virus will be actively multiplying, infecting, and killing cells of the immune system.

What are the later symptoms of HIV/AIDS?

Lack of energy
Weight loss
Frequent fevers and sweats
A thick, whitish coating of the tongue or mouth (thrush) that is caused by a yeast infection and sometimes accompanied by a sore throat
Severe or recurring vaginal yeast infections
Chronic pelvic inflammatory disease or severe and frequent infections like herpes zoster
Periods of extreme and unexplained fatigue that may be combined with headaches, lightheadedness, and/or dizziness
Rapid loss of more than 10 pounds of weight that is not due to increased physical exercise or dieting
Bruising more easily than normal
Long-lasting bouts of diarrhoea
Swelling or hardening of glands located in the throat, armpit, or groin
Periods of continued, deep, dry coughing
Increasing shortness of breath
The appearance of discoloured or purplish growths on the skin or inside the mouth
Unexplained bleeding from growths on the skin, from mucous membranes, or from any opening in the body
Recurring or unusual skin rashes
Severe numbness or pain in the hands or feet, the loss of muscle control and reflex, paralysis or loss of muscular strength
An altered state of consciousness, personality change, or mental deterioration
Children may grow slowly or fall sick frequently. HIV positive persons are also found to be more vulnerable to some cancers.

Cold sores are caused by the herpes virus. Many of us already have the cold sore virus dormant in our bodies, and never have a flare up of cold sores. We contracted it as children, as it is a very common virus, and children pick it up easily as they often share food and drinks, and may be less concerned about hand washing and hygiene. Cold sores can be transmitted even when the person does not have a cold sore, though it is less likely to happen then.

remember that you can remove genital warts by surgery, freezing, laser, acid or cream but genital warts can reappear again and again because genital warts appears when your immune system is weak!

I got diagnosed with herpes type 2 about seven years ago, when I was still in college and had a stupid one-night stand. However, Not only was I able to remove all traces of the herpes virus from my system in less than three weeks, but I was also able to start dating again!

Answer 9

Well, the 1st thing you should do is talk to your parents. You have to tell them so they can get you checked immediately. If you don't tell your parents then at least go to a health clinic and get an AIDS test. Good luck.

Answer 10

Your mind is doing all this stuff about being tired. And who knows about your hair. You're about as likely to have gotten aids from your girlfriend as you are to get on an airplane that's being hijacked. Far more probable that you'll be struck by lightning or kidnapped by space aliens. Relax. You're not the first person to have sex. It was just your first time.

Answer 11

You can always get a confidential HIV test at a clinic. Your symptoms don't sound like HIV, but you should check just the same. And go to your regular physician to see if there might be something else wrong.
