I somehow seem to have trouble comprehending the 'no risk' bit. If breastmilk has HIV, then an adult who consumes a small quantity could be at risk theoretically, although I understand that even babies with immature immune and gastro-intestinal systems have a 1 in 7 chance of contracting HIV through copious amounts of their mothers milk. Just that the 'what ifs' don't go away, hence only solace is a definitive test, which I hope my 8 week ab/ag test is.
the testing "window period" ONLY applies when there has been a risk. you did not have a risk.
i too suffer from anxiety and a fear of getting, contracting having HIV...my mind does not rest until iget results.. i also have other symptoms like numbnss and tingling in my feet, which of course i think is directly linked to HIV automatically...but unlike you, i have not been tested yet, but have an appt to be next week...so i guess we can both put our minds to ease..but yet.,.im very nervouss and been having anxiety about this issue and been to the ER twice cause of it...
Hi Folks,

Hi there, thanks for the post, you sound so warm and helpful. Anybody else that can help me? I mean logically, am i being over anxious or is it normal given the situation?
