For everyone worried about hiv

[momentum_power]

I recently had an hiv scare from a low risk exposure and have been very worried. I would stay home smoking marijuana reading statistics, doing google searches, reading through forums, and favoriting the pages that made me temporarily feel better about my circumstance. Everyday I would return to do the same thing, only I needed more and more reassurance. I had most of the symptoms of ARS to make me more nervous, but I now can look back and see that I put myself through all of this torture for nothing. I had a strange rash, diahrrea, fever, and sore throat. I tested at 22 days which gave me around 75% reassurance, then again at 6 weeks which gives me around 98% reassurance that I don´t have the hiv. The best thing to do is to keep your mind off of it as you wait to test. Yes 3 months is technically conclusive, but 6 weeks is very close to conclusive. If you had a low risk exposure, the 6 week test is all you need. If you are worried about a possible hiv exposure, all you can do is wait. Even if your positive, your life is not over. Your life would change, but it would definitely not be over. But, more than likely, you are not infected. Worrying only makes you feel miserable.

3 months post exposure is when you can obtain your conclusive test result.
