I need some help please........?


I went out with this nurse (she works in hospital operating room) in mid August and had unprotected sex. First my feet are feeling cold since then and few wks later not sure how many maybe 6 wks later I had an episode of loose stool (only once a day) for few wks, no fever or any thing else. I am wondering is there a good chance that I was exposed to some sort of virus. And is there any link between cold feet and HIV and I had loose stool not diarrhea. Please advice

go to the doctor, dear, don't rely on these idiots on yahoo to diagnose you,!

Wow, you seriously need to get over your paranoia. Remember this guilt feeling next time a similar opportunity arises.

You probly have a stomach virsus/
take a coupla of vitimin c and vitimin e tablets and drink a quart og fruit juice , go to bed with the nurse.
Every time she touches someone with a cold or be near a person with hiv you may have shaken hands with or brushed up agains soemone with the same problem.

i would be concerned seeing as how easily it is for nurses to stick themselfes with patients needles.

Well, Personally, I think that if you are worried about this, maybe you should go to the doctor and get all those STD and Aid's tests done. Your symptoms, in my opinion don't sound like its from having fun that one night. Also, since this experience has freaked you out, maybe you should start keeping protection for yourself on hand at all times :P

I think you are freaking because the sex was unprotected, but for your own peace of mind and because it's the responsible thing to do...go get tested. Then don't have unprotected sex again.

Go to a free & anonymous HIV/AIDS testing area, though cold feet and loose stool are not typically the first symptoms of HIV infection. Ditch your paranoia and find out your HIV status. Also, don't forget to go to a doctor about the diarrhea. If you can't afford a visit, go to a free clinic. Check on line for a clinic closest to you. For example, try San Francisco free clinic, if you live in the area: http://www.sffc.org/
Best to you.
