Will do, Peace be with all of you!
Congrats! Time to put this behind you!
Just wanted to report that all is well! Thank you so much! The time you guys take to support folks is amazing. I read your post everyday for support. Thank you again so much!
This waiting is going to be agonizing...any words of encouragement?
Thank you for your thoughts...anxiety is just so tough...
FYI today's the day...i feel out of it. I am so scared for my children and partner...the what ifs are so loud. Thank you for your feedback.
There are many things that can scare us. The papers are full of it everyday. I think that as far as a person with anxiety, as I am, that we latch on to the scary and hold it close to our chests, ruminating and worrying until we make it our own....
I did see the news that the Medical Insurance Agencies or some type
of institution like that, is now pushing for everyone age 15 to 65 to have
HIV testing. I am sure that there are alot of people worried needlessly since that blurb came out last week.
Nursegirl6572 has really solid advice to stop searching and stop reading as in the case of the anxious person, the anxiety is renewed every time you add the HIV info into the forefront of what is important to you today.
Please do come back and tell us how you are doing....and good luck to you

thank you so much, just hearing that makes me feel better. I think I just needed to get it out of my skull first. Thank you.
You have nothing to worry about. While I cannot guarantee that you're not infected, I can tell you that from what you've said, it would be HIGHLY unlikely.
I CAN tell you that you're just feeding your anxiety by reading on the internet. Like you said, there is a LOT of really bad info out there, plus, just overloading your mind with the info will cause more anxiety. You'll feel much better once it's all over and you have your negative result.
IMO, you're going to be just fine. Stop searching the internet, and stop asking people about it...you're only making more stress for yourself. Stop back in when you get your negative result, and let us know okay?
