Going to call tomorrow

I am going to call Public Health tomorrow and ask about my test results. They told me they would be in by Friday but hopefully I can find out tomorrow. Hopefully good news.

I dont know why but I am absolutely panic stricken right now. I was reading some old archives by username "sunnygirl79" and she got HIV from repeated exposures with a man who later found he was positive. She tested at 3 weeks and it was negative but her 8 week was positive. I tested at 3 weeks and it was negative and I was happy about it, no I am full of doubt and dread. so somebody on these forums did get HIV.

The rational side of me says I tested positive for mono, but as Dr HHH said on one post I found archived it is possible to have been given mono AND HIV during the exposure.

I hope I havent ruined my life. I am crying right now.

You will be negative. You didn't even really need a test in the first place.

I'll keep you in my prayers.  Good luck and please keep us posted.

How do you know I didnt need to test?

Did you read my post to Dr HHH on July 12?

I have a high fever, swollen lymph nodes, dry cough, severely sore throat with white spots all over my tonsils, diarreah (diarrhea), white tongue,  no appetite. I had a positive mono-spot test but those tests can detect if you had mono in the last year and I am fearful my general doctor just assummed its mono since they are uneducated about ARS.

The public health clinic ordered an RNA test before I knew I had mono when I told them my symptoms.

Mono is easily transmitted, HIV is not. Virtually all cases of HIV in women in the United States are either injection drug users, or the long term partners of an HIV-infected man after having many, may episodes of unprotected sex. Cases of HIV in women like you are basically non-existent. You've simply been given an inflated view of HIV from what you've read and what you've seen on TV.

I am also freaked out because the guy I had sex with knew I would not have sex without a condom, so he takes it off withouth telling me on at least 3-4 times that I know of when I saw it on the floor. How shady is that? He assures me he wouldnt put me at risk if he thought he had HIV, he has never been tested, his house is a mess he never cleans, he smokes pot daily leading me wonder if he has ever done IV drugs (he says no but he might be lying) I have caught him in lies before, he is very selfish, has no friends and is 9 years older than me meaning he has had a lot of partners. He says he hasnt had sex in 3 years but he could be lying. I just have this bad feeling about him.

[bluebell81]

I hope you are right. I felt better until I read sunnygirl's post. From what I gathered she lives in central part of the country in a very small town, so I am guessing she is white.

I pray its just mono and not ARS.

[bluebell81]

Also, I keep wondering if maybe the man who may have exposed me's last relationship was a woman who had sex with a bi man or IV user and she had HIV and didnt know it and spread it, and now I slept with him and he spread it to me?

[56merriman]

You are letting your mind scare you and get the better of you. You don't have HIV. You will realize this tommorrow when you have your negative result. Then you can go out and party.

[Jaguar83]

well, I'd wait till the mono passes till ya party...

[cluelessintexas]

I will keep you in my prayers and hope that you will come out negative.  Please keep me posted.

I wish I would have done the type of testing that you had done.  That way I would know for sure.
I'm still nervous.  =0(  It was only a 6 week negative result.  I hope it stays that way.

Sunnygirl mad you feel bad cuz she's white?

[bluebell81]

Yes, only because stats show most females who have HIV are minorities I think I read 80%.

[bigdummy]

White people get diseases just like any other race.
