hiv red face
I have pretty bad pain in my upper left gums is it AIDS?
About a month ago i made out with someone at high risk for hiv, now a month later i have this really really bad cold and like a lot of sinus pressure. also my upper left gum hurts when i press on it from my face. but the gums dont look red or infected. are these 3 all seperate issues or could they somehow be related. i dont think i really have aids but i figured id probably get more input this way
1) If you knew she was at risk for HIV why put yourself in a position that could lead to something that increases the risk for you contracting the disease?
2) HIV cannot be transferred through saliva.
3) This was a month ago? HIV (if it was HIV) takes longer to develop symptoms. Gum pain as far as I know is not a symptom.
4) You have a cold.
5) It takes a while to go from HIV to AIDS and new medications these days help slow that process even more. You cannot (I repeat, CANNOT) make out with someone at RISK for HIV and 1 month later develop AIDS. Takes longer than that.
A Different Perspective With Female Herpes
Even though herpes viruses cause a wide variety of illnesses and have been studied broadly for the last few decades, they remain a medical riddle. And the female population is often the ones who experience this medical condition.
Female herpes symptoms can’t seem to make up their mind because in some cases the lesions and outbreaks caused by the herpes virus can clearly be seen on the outside of the vagina. In other cases the outbreaks are concealed inside the vaginal wall. In order to recognize and spot possible symptoms that is usually associated with this hideous sexually transmitted disease. According to Wikipedia, there are two different types of viruses associated with herpes which are Herpes Simplex Type 1 or the oral herpes or cold sores; and the Herpes Simplex Type 2, which is the sexually transmitted disease usually called as genital herpes.
Although herpes has no known treatment, its contagiousness, the lesions and outbreaks caused by it can be relegated and controlled with disciplined drug therapies or through natural remedies. Once you have been exposed to the virus you will usually experience an outbreak within two weeks. In some cases, an outbreak can happen within 48 hours; usually the first outbreak is the most painful and longest lasting and for some women it may be the only incident. In most cases, a lot of women won’t even realize that they are infected or fail to recognize any symptoms because their outbreaks are so mild and unnoticeable.
Female herpes outbreaks tend to last longer than for males with a middling outbreak lasting about three weeks. This length of outbreak will steadily shorten for all future outbreaks. Women will have to be extra careful not to confuse or oversight their outbreaks for a yeast infection of pelvic inflammation. Women may also experience lesions and sores around the buttocks area, near the anus, vulva, thighs or cervix. Plus, there may also be sores in or around their vaginal area. The best and leading marker of the genital herpes virus is the formation and presence of blisters, lesions or sores around the vagina. These sores are typically packed with pus and may be red and inflamed. In some cases, there may only be one sore whereas in other cases there may be numerous lesions. Every woman is diverse in terms of how severe the outbreaks can occur.
Other symptoms may consist of back pain, a low grade fever, swollen glands, mild headaches, aches and a degree of discomfort, and may also include painful urination or the failure to easily urinate. You may have realized that many of these additional symptoms imitate the flu which makes it even more significant for women to get thoroughly checked. You can go to nearby STD clinics to verify your symptoms since the symptoms can be rather vague and misleading.
For everyone who experiences an initial herpes outbreak approximately 85% will have to face succeeding herpes outbreaks throughout the remainder of their life. Fortunately, these future occurrences will tend to be shorter in duration and less brutal in terms of pain and discomfort. Despite all this, there are some very helpful substitute relief methods that work as well with prescription medications.
