Question Dear Sir,
I am young mathematician in Andhra and I am contributing my life to Mathematics. I am (28 years male) married and having a kid. I am enjoying nice sex with my wife and I married her 5 years back and I am happy with her and my kid. I got very good name and frame in our place as a nice man and math genius. I have very great reputation and respect from my relatives and friends.
Recently (approx 5 months) back I had sex with some prostitute. This happened very unfortunately and suddenly. Now, I am feeling, I got some STD (probably HIV). Of course, I don’t know exactly what type of disease I got now.
My hands become little thin and I am getting some blood from my mouth some times (whenever I am washing my face at after noon from bad, because I have the habit to sleep in day time at least 2 hours. Since I am working maximum hours on my mathematics).
I don’t know and I am so scare to check, whether I got HIV or not. Please tell me. What it is? Please… give me the reply. Is there any connection between HIV and becoming my hands little thin. I am not able to concentrate on my research. Please help me….please help me. Please….
Thanking you,
raja
Answer Raaz,
I've never heard of thinning hands being a symptom of HIV, but unexpected weight loss in general is. No matter what you may have, you need to go see a doctor. I know you are scared to find out for sure, but for your safety, and for the safety of your wife, you need to find out before you give whatever you may have to your wife, if you haven't already.
Bleeding from the mouth is very serious. I'm not aware of that being a symptom of HIV, but it is certainly a warning sign that you need to see a doctor regardless of whether its an STI or not.
