Dr HHH

Why does Dr HHH pretty much tell everyone they will be fine? He told me HIV is not a concern of mine, that I have mono. What if I had HIV and mono?

I know he is a professional but sometimes I think he contradicts himself. He says people are fine, then he suggests people get a rountine annual HIV test every year.

I have problems falling asleep.. and if I do sleep- I have nightmares too. (that's when I don't take my ambien).  I've been trying to ween myself off of it, but I don't sleep well if I don't take it..

Also, you can take benedryl, sometimes that helps with sleeping...

I hope we both come out negative.

I am glad one of us is laughing, because I am on the verge of tears. If God grants me another chance at life and I end up negative, my body has been thru a beating. I have lost so much weight that people are noticing, everyone tells me I look tired, my skin has turned pale, i am not eating, the anxiety is keeping me up all night and even coming into my dreams. I am so upset with the health dept. I am thinking of just going there and just showing up but my pride is telling me not to. I dont think I can handle it if they ask what I am doing there or berate me for coming back in. I feel like they think I am wasting tax payer dollars getting free rapid tests. The worst part is that i have nobody to talk to, I just keep all this anxiety and fear inside all day bottled up and I am cranky with people and not acting like myself. I also cant stand hearing about sex, if I see a love scene on tv I turn it off. I am turned off to sex for the rest of my life. I am now finding it very disgusting and gross.

I am too scared to go to any other place besides Public Health where they banned me until my 12 week test. I want to go there because if its positive the lady who does the tests is like a grandma and I will at least feel safe being with her. I dont want to go get my blood drawn at this place that doesnt do rapid tets, then wait for over a week to find out a result. I dont want to hear I am postive over the phone, I will pass out.

If you test negative are you going to move on? Or will you get a 12 week?

Sometimes I feel like I am one of the only people on this forum with actual risk...more than one episode of unprotected sex (3-4 times) by a man who took off the condom during the sex. Then I get seriously ill and am told by my dr its mono, and I got sick right during the time ARS would set in. Dr HHH tells me HIV is not a concern of mine. How does he know? Then I had some idiot post a comment to my post to Dr HHH saying "For some reason I am concerned about your health" I am so scared I cant function.

Dr.HHH is great. he was right on with me. Just read his bio he is not your average online DR. This guy has everything it takes to be the expert. Funny how some will take the word of an unknown some where in the world as a so-called expert and disreguard a true expert. I didn't, he sure helped me, it was worth the $15.00.

That's because Dr.H has 25 years of experience dealing with HIV and STDs.
You can listen to what he says and take it to the bank.

Oh yes, and he doesn't tell everyone they are fine, believe me...

That's not true. He never says to not get a test, he may say that he doesn't recommend it, but he knows how people on this forum have anxiety problems (such as myself). Like any other doctor he evaluates the situation the person presents and gives his expertise advise. I've seen him tell people that HIV is a possibility, and that he suggests testing at 12/13 weeks. Did you ever get tested again?

Because everyone who is not in a monogamous relationship should have an HIV test periodically.
