25 Average HIV test

Is 25 days sufficient amount time after possible infection to get a somewhat accurate test.

nope sorry at least 6 to 8 weeks followed by a conclusive result at 3 months post exposure

can you get HIV if you have jock itch but use a condom

[alienshadow]

now you should know that answer

[jiggaman1]

I am assuming the answer is no

[alienshadow]

correct not unless you have blood everywhere and if thats the case you need some medical help no jock itch cream will help that

[jiggaman1]

no blood was present. So I am good. Sorry I am just scared thats all. Several people have told me I am good, but I guess perception can be stronger than reality at times.

[alienshadow]

yep and its called ANXIETY i have been there i know the feeling

[jiggaman1]

How did you cope with it until it was time for you to take the test.

well i told my wife what i had done then i got on some meds then i decided to get some mental help and had myself committed for a few days to ease the mind man that all happened after all my negati=ve results at 6 weeks but man back then i was a basket case and i have learned a lot from everything

[jiggaman1]

Should I get a home hiv test. how accurate are those. Thanks for talking to me. I really appreciate. If you dont mind me asking how did your wife react when you told her.

[alienshadow]

not sure about the home test

she took it hard but we worked things out and in some weird way we are closer now than ever before

[jiggaman1]

so to close things up. You think I am good. Is a test even required.

[Teak]

No, a test is not warranted.

thanks man i appreciate it. I am trying to stay sane
