What Could Cause Body Pain And Fatigue?

Hi! I was exposed for unprotected sex after six months ago last Dec.17, 2011, after 1 month i was tested then twas negative, and I was diagnosed for Malaria. I took some medicine then I was hospitalized for high infection, then was treated for antibiotic and my infection came less. My White blood cell becomes high to 20,000 mm3 then after medication its become normal. I was tested again for HIV before 3 months and the results was negative. Now i m going to six month for the next follow up test. I was really confused regarding on this matter, before my weight is about 86 kls and due to depression and fears I became 76 kls. Now as of June 2012 today, my weight has become higher to 87 kls. My big question is this? If you are infected to HIV virus there is a chance to get weight gain that your body has a virus? and nearly 3 months testing is conclusive results that Im not HIV positive?.........Now I m suffering sometimes for fatigue and body pain. thanks for your reply.

Hello,

As you are tested with HIV negative and having malaria in the past. Due to abnormal physiology which occurred due to a rise in the WBC may be the cause for fatigue and body pain. Weight loss/gain totally depends upon physical activity and also the mental status. If you kind of too much worried then chances to either lose weight or gain weight is common. But as mentioned earlier it is totally individual physiology based.

I will advise you to follow up with the laboratory tests and continue the medication provided for infection. Also, having a good healthy diet and doing simple general exercise will help your overall physical well being.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
