Fuck flu real?

I do wonder however if PrEP could be causing a false negative on the tests.

No, it couldn't.

Fuck flu is definitely a real thing.  This may present itself differently, depending on the guy.  For me, it caused me to have night sweats and vivid dreams for about a week straight.  I'm not just talking about waking up with a small wet ring around my shirt collar...I'm talking about the fact that I could grab a bit of hair and literally wring it out (I had long hair at the time).  My entire shirt would be soaked, as well as the sheets, pillows, and so on.

It was real and horrible for me. It was early October back in 2001 and I thought it was just an early flu. But it got bad real fast with the worst night sweats imaginable but my temperature never got much over 101 degrees F. I had to keep a stack of large towels by the bed and get up 4 or 5 times per night to put a fresh towel under me to soak up the sweat (and on top of me, too). And it was really tough to get out of bed to do that because I was so weak and achy. It continued through the day, too, as I was bed ridden for almost a week. When the fever finally broke, it took about another week to regain my strength to be near-normal. I still just thought it was the flu until my next HIV test in December. Final results came back on Dec. 24.

A home test might be a plan

Welcome to the brother hood

Generally, I’m a healthy guy.  I had decided to go bb and not ask Tops their status.  I’m not on Prep so I knew it was a matter of time.  One morning I woke up and didn’t feel quite right.  By the afternoon I was achy, throat hurt and I felt a fever coming over me.  I spent two days in bed sweating like crazy.  Sweat soaked to the mattress.  I knew I was converting which made it seem strangely ok to me.  After two days it passed, I felt fine.  Went to get tested shortly after and it confirmed I was Poz.

Reading these posts is starting to alarm me as I’ve had a persistent cough for nearly three weeks now, sore/scratchy throat, congestion, coughing up phlegm/mucus, fever/chills, exhaustion, loose greasy stools, upset stomach/nausea. I’ve gone through one round of Prednisone and antibiotics and nothing...currently on round two. Doc thinks it’s a stubborn infection and hasn’t done blood work and didn’t reveal that I’m having bareback sex with guys. I am on prep but admittedly am not the greatest at taking it consistently...take it before bed and don’t take it/forget if I’m at someone’s place hooking up or come home drunk/high. I take a lot of anon loads raw and don’t ask guys statuses...am getting fucked by three guys I know are detectable so I guess it’s possible I got pozzed. Tested neg in October...was told it’s a good idea to get tested every three months on Prep so not due until January but may go in sooner.

Prep is a wonder drug no matter what people think about it. You should stop using Prep all together rather being inconsistent and thereby your body developing resistance. People like you ruin it for the entire community.

Hey Bottom, when did all of this happen?

The fuck flu was real for me. A couple of months after I had started getting bred by my poz top I got sick. For me it was like the flu. Achy all over and zero energy. I didn’t pick up on it actually. It was my mom that is a nurse that said I should get checked out. 

Fuck flu was real for me.  Took probably 30-40 loads from this poz top during a 4 month period.  Woke up Valentines Day 2010 with fever, chills, aches; eventually 101 fever.

Was sick for almost two weeks

What was his VL 

[Guest josebarebear]

he was undetectable while on his meds.  Went off them about two weeks before we started to fuck.

After my fuck flu, he was tested, his VL was around 150-200,000.

My initial VL was 150,000

Fuck flu was awful. Eventually was bed ridden, No energy, nightsweats, I felt like I lost control of my prefrontal cortex - No executive function. When going through the motions of the day, I had no clue why it was important. 

At one point I felt like death and went to the ER. They performed a white blood cell count; A few other tests - but no HIV test. As it turns out, they couldn’t determine what it was. They sent me home pending test results.

This is the WBC Count result a few days later:

Indeed white blood cell count was low. By the time this news arrived, I was almost recovered from the flu.

It lasted for about 3 weeks.

Two weeks after it subsided, call came in from my PCP. They ran some more tests with my authorization.

Indeed, I was Positive. 

Initial viral load:

I still have nightsweats every night.

I got the "flu" after being pozzed and it was absolutely dreadful. Was in bed for two weeks. Went out with my friends one Friday night to dance, felt a little faint, so went home. The next morning I woke up and felt like death, couldn't get out of bed, couldn't lift my head, had no energy to even go to the fridge for water. The doctors had no idea what it was and I tested negative for influenza. Had a blood test in early January that returned negative results for HIV, then another in early March that came back positive. I also had blood in my cum when I recovered from the "flu", and my specialist told me that sometimes this happens when you are infected with HIV.

What factors determine how bad someone's fuckflu will be?  This is the one aspect of being poz I'm not looking forward to.

I have heard that a very robust immune system may illicit a strong response from those that are infected which may result in a more severe fuck flu....Ironic in that it suggests the healthier you are the more severe your flu might be
