My Dr. just called me and let me know that my 2nd test came back as negative. I want to thank the folks who set up this site and the Dr.. Whether he provides good news or bad, he does it with great honesty and with good explinations as to why. To be forthcoming, I did ask on another forum and their response was in line with Dr. H's. It seems that much of the information found on the web is dated and doomsday like.
Once again....Thank You to all.
Thank you....I will be contacting him tomorrow morning. By the way, my wife wouldn't be a risk factor. The issue we are having is her fear fo intimacy after two very traumatic births she went through. We are just getting back into "getting to know each other".
Also, I was wondering if certain medications can deliver positive results. I am currently taking an SRI for anxiety. I was tempted to triple my dose over the past few days.
Thank you again for your taking the time to answer my question. Congratulations on your good work.

Pardon the typos...nerves.
Your doctor is right. Most indeterminate HIV western blots resolve as negative, and that's especially the case for those with only a GP160 band.
So no reason to panic. Almost certainly you do not have HIV. And it sounds like you have a knowledgeable doc; follow up with him.
Good luck-- HHH, MD
