I've had unprotected sex with two women who weren't experiencing any STD symptoms. Now before I go any further, spare me the safe sex spiel. What's done is done so I want to just focus on the topic of this thread.
I've gone from being pain free to having minor issues in the space of weeks! Here's what I'm experiencing.
1. I've noticed various muscles easily get sore. They are not life disrupting pains by any means, but they are there and they worry me. I've been trying to think of any repetitive motions I've begun making recently that might cause this but I'm drawing a blank.
2. Recently I experienced difficulty and discomfort swallowing. It cleared up in about four days, and now my throat is just the slightest bit sore when I swallow. I anticipate that it too will be gone soon. Still, that symptom unaccompanied by anything else worries me. I've never had that before.
3. This one may be related to the fact that I stand eight hours a day for work and don't use fancy shoes, but I have developed a persistent pain in my right foot. Intensity of pain varies from one day to the next, and attempts to rub my foot usually intensify the pain.
I'm really concerned here, especially about the muscle soreness from no apparent cause. I know muscle aches can be a symptom of HIV . . . or was it AIDS . . . it was one of the two, but I don't have any of the other persistent symptoms commonly associated with that disease.
The most worrying thing thing to me is that all of these things began occuring a few months after I became sexually active when I never experienced anything like these before. Does anyone have any input? Thanks.
