You only need to test 13 weeks post after your last doses of PEP meds to get a conclusive result.
Just to let you know - I went to the follow up meeting today, and the nurse there too said I could trust the results 100%. I was welcome to come in and retest in another 12 weeks, if I wanted to but there was no professional reason for me to do so. So I'll do the best I can to put this behind me.
I want to thank all of you for your input and support. Thank you so much. I wish the best for all of you!
God bless!
Dear Teak, I get your point. I'm sure anxiety is a major part of my fear - but this has proved a first time life-altering experience for me - so I don't quite know how to react :-)
I just phoned the hospital and they told me that my latest 12 week test was negative too (thank God). I asked the nurse whether I could trust that 100% or I needed to be retested at another 4 weeks. She told me that I could trust it, and that I didn't needed to be tested again.
On Friday I'm going there for the follow up meeting (this was where I was supposed to have received the results, if I hadn't phoned them) - I'll be sure to double check with them there.
Seek the help of a mental health professional. There is no more anyone can do for you here. You are beyond anyones scope on this forum.
Hey, man, I'm sorry.
I thought you were another poster (the glory hole operator). I apologize. Good luck, man.
I know that could be the case, but when you read something like "In people with HIV infection, molluscum contagiosum is often a progressive disease" at least I get scared. It might not be related to HIV but it CAN BE.
As written above I get my 12 week test (8 weeks post pep) results later this week. I'm on the edge of break down - not a minute goes by without me thinking of this :-( Thank you, Teak, for your input. I truly appreciate it.
Jaguar83 - plz don't use your time/energy to reply. I'm not doing this because I think it's funny, but because - whatever small risk it might be - I HAVE been in contact with HIV and that has scared me like nothing I've ever felt before.
