Don't beat yourself up man, you were doing protected sex with her so she maybe just removed it once you were done. I had a condom break on me (with a girlfriend i had at the time) you know right away-it's not a very suttle  at all when it happens...Have you tested just to be certain? It's unlikely you were infected anywat ToronoIndie..

  had protected sex with a CSW, she removed the Condoms
  after the climax, I am not sure if it was on during the full course or not sure if it isn't broke....
  I was a fool never bothered to check

Needle stick... was it a bored needle or just a needle. If it was just a needle, then the 4 week theory is blown.

If you tested negative at 12 weeks then surely you are negative?

My exposure was a needle stick-stuck by an iv drug user who was probably hiv positive / hep-c, positive, ect. I've had many symptoms, some seem like hiv and others i don't know..i tested hiv - at the 12 week mark, i'm still going back in Feb for another examination though...

i want to ask you some serious questions here.

what do you get out of this forum?  
what makes you keep posting?
are you getting "support"?  
does coming to this forum answer any questions?  
after you have been reading and posting for a few hours...do you feel better...does it give you a sense of calmness?

Your mental illness and story making has nothing to do with a cultural "thing." You're negative and you don't want to accept your negative result. Nothing more and nothing less.

I actually mentioned this in an earlier post. Put on a pair of thick jeans and have someone poke you while you resting, then tell me ...it's not a story, it's what happened but that's fine, the police did'nt think so. I'm not hear to tell stories, i hope you and Teak are enjoying yourselves. If i test positive in Feb you will tell me, you don't belive me still won't you. I hope i'm really wrong or hiv - in Feb, if i'm not i really hope you and Teak will not add to my misfortune by continuing to ridicule me further, maybe it's a cultural thing..

chapeau...your story just keeps getting better and better.  this is the first i have heard about her picking up disregarded needle works.  and now she probably pressed whatever was left inside the needle into you?  and she did all of this without you even feeling a thing?  wow...she is fast.

what do you think about bulldogman?  just wondering

Don't destroy my computer man...i'm stressin'..4 weeks, think about that. When the police asked here where she got the syringes from she said that she goes around picking up disregarded needle works man...i hope she was just making that up..The reason it makes a difference is because she probably pressed whatever was left inside the needle into me-hiv / hep / syphillis / ect..
