Scared and hopeful
I am fairly new to this site and this is not a question per say, just a cry for help. I experienced a long term relationship for two years and we were sexually active for about a year, 7 months unprotected. At this point, I have been experiencing a terrible fear of HIV contraction and have been debating for a while about posting on one of these forums. I can't really talk to my parents because of the fear of them knowing I had unprotected sex so I have been talking to counselors. My partner tested negative about 3 months ago, but being the worrier that I am, I entered this stage when the "symptoms" came. I just need someone to talk to, positive or negative, on the forum or through email or cell phone contact, to help me ease my fear and anxiety. Thanks in advance for any and all help.
*typo* thanks for your reassurance
And thanks for your advice
Okay thanks or the advice. I will test at six weeks and keep you posted
Have an HIV test next week. It will be 6 weeks and the test will be over 99% accurate. Follow up at three months for a conclusive result. They will be negative.
My last unprotected sex with him was March 24/25 and before that March 9.
Well, your partner tested negative, so that makes your risk close to zero.
When was your last unprotected sex with him?
