ok sir then kindly tell me what could be the possible reason of my reduced appetite ? i am now mostly eating to maintain my weight. but 3 months back i was eating because i had a lot of hungry feeling during meal time. what could be the possible reason? does stress and fear is the reason?
because sir my throat pains are very much reduced and near about finished . the specific pain that i had right side mostly.. but a slight stress is still there. when ever i though about the test all last 4 years pains and symptoms comes in my mind. to ensure me that something big i had inside. thats the real fear.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

* The anxiety and stress are very known factors related to appetite, usually through mediation via hormones of the body, you get decrease in appetite to various extent during periods of stress.

* For throat issue, many people get routine viral infection of upper respiratory tract (irrespective of HIV) and as they do not hesitate much regarding HIV, they get rid of it quickly, where it is your thought process which makes you feel it persistent for longer period (like last time, when ENT had given you clean cheat of infection, still you had persistent discomfort of some sort even then).

* As already you have written right now, the symptoms come in IND whenever you thought about the test all last 4 years, that itself suggests it is more of thought process related than actual body symptoms.

* Again be clear that I am not telling your symptoms are not true, they are clinical manifestations of underlying subconscious conflict.

In a summary, get a test once for all and get rid off all the doubts on paper.

Hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
