Hey frankie,
I was just about to log off the comp when i read your post. Almost two years ago i decided to get tested for HIV before i met my fiancee. I agonized over the descision for months. that coupled with anxiety that i normally had, and extreme anxiety about the disease caused me to get shingles! When i went to the dermatologist who had 17 years of practice behind her belt, she told me that rarely does she she young people my age get it from just worrying alone,. Usually they have a compromised immune system from a variety of different things. But when i was tested it was painless, the hard part was the wait. All the other std tests came back on time, but the hiv one took a little longer so i almost freaked out. It turned out that they hadnt started it yet because of the coming holiday, they were backed up to get things done. Everything came back non reactive which means negative and i felt so much better about it. Just do it, trust me, the peace of mind afterward is priceless. dont be afraid and take a freind with you to help you through--- you might also want to let the doctor know how nervous you are about it.
best of luck
I know what you are going thru, I was to say the least not very careful in my younger days there were so many nights I wish I could take back. I always had anxiety that I was going to die. Even ended up at the emergency room one night thinking it was over. Diagnossed with anxiety I couldn't believe it. Had to take meds for awhile and finally got off them.Then at 36 now married and having fertility issues they made me and my husband take every test under the sun, HIV Hep a,b,c, and everything else. I was so scared that not only I was going to find out I was right all this time and did have a fatel disease but probibly gave it to my husband. Thank God I am ok and I have to tell you the world looked so different after my results. The sky was bluer and grass was greener. I know that if I would of had bad news things would have changed. At least I could have started treatments to increase my life expectancy and quality. Bottom line is you need to know and most likly you are going to be fine and feel so much better.
Ok honey, your just plain crazy. Just kidding sweetie, please take a girlfriend or your sister, someone your close to and get that HIV test. You will be stressed out big time until you get your negative results. Wont that be worth the peace of mind? Beleive me, you are not alone in feeling this way.
