I have been feeling really weird lately. I've been exhausted and I feel really weak. I can't consentrate, eat, or sleep. I'll try to do something and I'll get out of breath really quickly which isn't like me. I usually run a mile everday and I don't get out of breath from walking in my house. It's really stange. I think that there might be something wrong with me but I don't know what. I'm usually never like this. My friend said that I probably have AIDS because I had sex for the first time last week but we used protection and I don't think that AIDS affects you right away. I really don't know anything about diseases or illnesses or anything like that so if anyone has any idea about what might be wrong with me or what might have caused it please help me.
It is highly doubtful that you have AIDS. You may have a cold or any other virus or bacterial infection. Maybe you have asthma. At any rate, I suggest that you make a visit to your doctor. Take luck and keep in touch! [ FantastaWoman's advice column | Ask FantastaWoman A Question ]
Daisy answered Thursday May 19 2005, 9:32 am: First of all, it is highly unlikely you will have AIDS. You are obviously going through a really stressful time at the moment due to all your hormones and feelings racing about because you have had sex for the first time. The fact that you have no energy and appetite etc makes me think you're not getting enough nutrients from food and therefore your body is suffering because it has no energy. If I were you I would start by taking some daily multivitamins and start eating some high protein (chicken, fish, cheese etc) and high carb (pasta, potatoes, rice) diet to get your body back the way it was. It's no wonder you have no energy if you're not eating properly! If you have trouble sleeping, burn some lavender oil or cadle in your room just before you go to bed. Make your room really warm and cosy and have a warm bath or shower. then get into bed with a good book or magazine and you will find you will sleep better. Hope all this helps a little [ Daisy's advice column | Ask Daisy A Question ]
not_your_star34 answered Wednesday May 18 2005, 9:03 pm: You're right, AIDS almost never attacks right away.
HIV is the virus that causes AIDS, and that's when it's inactive and there are no symptoms.
It could be possible, but I really doubt it.
You might have a different STD, though I don't know of any that have those symptoms. Protection doesn't protect against most STD's (including HIV).
I would also suggest getting a pregnancy test, especially if you're getting morning sicknesses and peeing a lot. Better safe than sorry.

Michele answered Wednesday May 18 2005, 8:48 pm: No you don't have aids. Even if you had an aids test it wouldn't show up for 6 months. And first you would have an HIV infection and some people have that for years before they got full blown aids. Let me see....from your description, and I am guessing that your age is teenager, and you probably don't eat right. I would guess that you are anemic. It is an iron deficiency. And being anemic and/or having an iron deficiency means that you have a low red blood count. And one of the symptoms is lack of energy, shortness of breath. Is you skin pale also? Could be a sign but not the only one. Foods that contain iron are red meat, molasses, beans, spinach, etc. How much of that do you eat. Don't tell me, none right. WHy not try taking multi vitamins and see if that helps, And I don't mean ONe a Day's those are lousy vitamins. Ask the pharmacist for a good multi vitamin. Eat more fresh veggies, fruit and lean red meats and chicken and turkey. Kids also need calcium, so drink milk, low fat . But there is no iron in milk. Look up the symptoms on the internet. There are lots of sites that give you information on diseases by putting in your symptoms. HOpe this helps
