Thanks so much for replying. It was in 2006 that I  had unprotected Vaginal sex For 10 days with an Australian. Prior to that I abstained for 9 years & he knows that & trusted me to be clean.I am a filipina by the way living in Manila. We Met online & chat for months before he came here & meet with  me. Come to think of it I don't know him much :(. Worrying made me withdrew from eating usual amount & going out & everything, all aspects of my life are affected :(

Firstly, HIV and Gonorrhea and HPV "Warts" are three totally separate STD's. Gonorrhea and warts (HPV) are much more common and easy to transmit than HIV. What makes you think that because you have contracted two, you will automatically contract the other? The chances are great that the person was NOT HIV POSITIVE. Even on the off chance, the person was HIV POSITIVE, they can pass one or two of the above without passing the other. The chances of testing NEGATIVE are vastly in your favor. If you did indeed have unprotected vaginal or anal sex, you DO need an HIV antibody test. If you have NOT had sex within the last 3 months, you can test for a CONCLUSIVE result now. Even if you have had sex recently, if your result is NEGATIVE, that would mean conclusively you did NOT contract HIV from your episodes of concern. I expect you to test NEGATIVE for HIV.

I was treated right away when I learned I had gonorrhea & warts. Can those diseases contribute to make my HIV test positive? Ihavent had HIV test.
