Do you think I have HIV?Okay, so I have had it one time with a girl, I WASNT THINKING OF THE RISK... I'm 13 years old, only 4'11, 73 pounds (don't have trouble eating) I have a mild skin disorder called Seborrheic Dermatitis ... 80% of people infected with HIV have it. I get head aches a lot, and here are the symptoms of HIV.
_________________Symptoms found on a website below__________
Later infection
You may remain symptom-free for eight or nine years or more. But as the virus continues to multiply and destroy immune cells, you may develop mild infections or chronic symptoms such as:
Swollen lymph nodes — often one of the first signs of HIV infection
Diarrhea
Weight loss
Fever
Cough and shortness of breath
Symptoms of HIV in children
Children who are HIV-positive may experience:
Difficulty gaining weight
Difficulty growing normally
Problems walking
Delayed mental development
Severe forms of common childhood illnesses such as ear infections (otitis media), pneumonia and tonsillitis

I also have a mild walking problem... and I will get tested, I just want to hear what you people think
I have a afro... and when I shave it, most of the dry skin by my ear goes away. My hair is also very thick, does that mean I still have the skin disorder?
Summary: The Only Symptoms I have are: Flaky Skin, mild walking disorder (Now gone and I had it ever since I was born) head aches, but the only time I have headaches is when I wake up because bad night of sleep, bad smell, blinding light, or annoying sounds. I DO NOT have a eating problem... My parents were 15 and 17 when they had me and I havnt gone through grow-spurt yet. I am not very skinny... just the weight sounds extremely low. And that is all the symptoms I have, please tell me yes or no in your answer in what you think also.
And also, I drink about 2-4 Cokes a day and when I was young I would eat my mom's powdered coffee that she had in tin can.
.
Sorry, I meant to say 16 years old.

Wow, you've been busy. The only real way to find out is to have a test done. Go to a AIDS outreach center (usually in phone book) or go to planned parenthood. Good Luck!

From what I can determine, the primary things wrong are that your parents were too young when you were born, your dermatitis hasn't been properly addressed and you drink too much soda. Babies born to teenage mothers have more health problems at birth and later.
!!! You like caffeine, don't you? It can cause rebound headaches. Cut out all sources of caffeine - sodas, chocolate and run a search for all other sources. Do this for 2 weeks and see if the headaches go away. You sound small for your age but I don't know how tall your parents are. I'm thinking your nutrition could be improved.
Seborrheic dermatitis is very common condition. Did you read that too? Parkinson's, strokes and brain injuries are also associated with seborrheic dermatitis. Do you have those too?
Sweetie, you don't have HIV. I mean, did you have sex at the age of 6?? So you corrected your age and you're now 16. Still, did you have sex at age 9? You've looked for symptoms but you haven't looked at information about the virus itself. Check out risk factors and stop worrying.

NO you do not have HIV, but if you are worried about that go get tested
