How old are you, and how long u have tinnitus
5
Tnx for your inspiration, I developed tinnitus 3 years ago, it's a mental and psychological fight more than physical, I feel alone I'm only 24 y/o I feel different from my peers, I get scary whenever it spikes , for the past couple months it doubled in volume and I hear 2 different sounds. I pray there will be some miracle in the future, for the moment I'm telling myself it will get better but the fact that this might be my new reality and it's here to Stay for the future, I can't help but feel helpless and pity myself.

How do you feel or response to it now. Did it become a part of you?

Is your tinnitus very severe , and you can hear it above all other external sounds?

I see, but you felt the hearing aids somehow diminished the tinnitus right?

Hey can I ask you about hiv related questions?

What was your symptoms?

Thanks. I really just needed some reassurance, I know I can't even discuss this concern with my family, they will think I'm making it up to cover what I have been doing in the dark😅 I don't like wasting energy on someone who is far beyond ignorant, anyway thanks .

I immediately told our head Manger nurse, she said it's no big deal , I then went to the department of the hiv testing and managing centre, they brushed it off, saying I don't need to worry and that I'm being paranoid. I didn't take pep. But then the symptoms came by storm.

Also I will be asked why I'm taking hiv test in the first place, I'm 23 female, unmarried. I will be immediately judged

I'm scared of getting tested. I'm in ignorant , Muslim country who thinks anyone with hiv is wh*re and it's a result of God's punishment, like hiv has some moral in it😅 it's a virus. I'm scared it's a small community and they can easily find out . Ppl with hiv don't get house to rent. They can't start any business, your own blood will disown you, it's a horror because of ignorance and stigma. If it turns out I got unlucky and got exposed to the virus. It's terrifying

I freaked out cuz I too had diarrhea, oral thrush, rashes, and sore throat , and the woman died she wasn't on medication she was on aids stage, which means high viral load, thus if my non gloved hand had any cuts then dude I'm done😅

You tested?

Are you hiv positive?
1
Omg those are my exact symptoms, I work as a nurse, just started practice clinical so one day there was a woman in the emergency room hiv positive, didn't read her file( stupid and reckless me) I used one glove to give her infusion, I guess I was exposed to blood from her cannula 4 days later I got sick with similar to your symptoms. I'm nervous about testing
