HIV POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE AND SCARED
HI MY QUESTION IS THIS: I HAVE BEEN GOIN OUT WITH MY BOYFRIEND FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND WE HAVE BEEN HAVING UNPROTECTED SEX , THE LAST TIME I HAD SEX WITH HIM WAS A LITTLE B4 JUNE 23...WHILE I WAS RENOVATIN MY HOUSE I FOUND SOME MEDS IN HIS NAME, NOW IM A NURSING SCHOOL DROP OUT BUT I RECONGNIZED THE BRAND S AND THEY WERE ANTI HIV MEDS ie EPIVIR, KALPETRA, TRUVADA...I HAD TESTED NEG AT ABOUT 9 WEEKS AFTER THE LAST TIME I HAD SEX WITH HIM AND FOUND THOSE MEDS AFTERWARD....I HEARD ABOUT THE 3MONTH WINDOW PERIOD, BUT IS A POSSIBILITY THAT I CAN BE NEGATIVE OR IS IT STILL TOO SOON?
ALSO IF I HAVE BEEN HAVING UNPROECTED SEX WITH HIM FOR ABOUT 7 MONTHS AND I TESTED NEG A WEEK AGO WHAT DOES THAT SAY? WHY ELSE WOULD HE HAVE THESE MEDS? I HAVENT GOTTEN A CHANCE TO ASK HIM YET HE INS IN CUSTODY!!!

IF you tested negative a week ago (9weeks), it is an EXCELLENT indicator for prediciting your 12 week result.
Since you are clearly aware that he was on medication related to HIV infection or possible HIV infection, I strongly suggest as regularjoe said, get tested @ 12 weeks. The likelihood you are negative is highly reassuring.
As far as the boyfriend is concerned, it is quite apparent that he has a severe lack of responsibility due-to-the-fact he jeopardized your life/health. I would SERIOUSLY re-evaluate your relationship with "this" one...and when tested negative,....be MORE cautious with safer-sex practices with future partners.
as far as the comment above:
"But I'll bet you with more conficende that you are clean"...that was just an asanine remark.

I'm sure that you're fine. A negative test at 9 weeks proves that you are HIV negative. Take another test at 3 months, as the CDC recommends, but expect a negative now.
It does sound likely that your bf has HIV, especially if he has been to the prison before. Is it surprising that you are negative despite all those exposures? Not really! If he is taking his medication his viral load is likely low making him much less infectious. But from now on remember to always protect yourself, don't test your luck. Stay well.

Just because someone has a undetectable viral load has nothing to do with the viral load in their sperm. People that are in seronegative/positive relationships use condoms to protect themselves durning anal or vaginal sex. They don't play a game of chance when having sex.
It was harsh to read but I'm not against it being posted because not using a condom is a real situation, so whatever needs to be said should be said. There is a thin line though, but luckily I think everyone here gets the gist of the real point at hand, which is to always use a condom.
I'll bet you that he is inject druge user and has HIV (but he takes the meds, so low viral loads). But I'll bet you with more conficende that you are clean. 9 weeks is too time. 100% you don't have. Just do the test, to relax your mind. and keep on.
And nobody has nothing with your life. It's YOU LIFE, just ignore this silly comments. and if advice are good, them don't be free of charge, it will be paied.
Yes you are right every human makes mistakes.
pray to God and learn from the mistakes..........
good luck

Relax. 9 weeks is good time. 99% you don't have. Smile. HIV is not a easy virus to pass. And if you valentine are in treatment, take this meds then his viral load of semen is very low. There a lot a lot a lot of heterosexual coples that one don't become infected.
thanx for ur input.... i really appreciate it and for the insensitive kids in the forum i am a licensed massage therapist, you can not cotrol everthing that happens in life,
I'm honest. Probably insensitive, too--I'll accept that. People choose their lives, in most cases. They need to choose wisely.
o..k.. a little insensitive but if that helps then it helps.
anyways, nursing school would really benefit your life. If u tested neg at 9 wks then you should be confident in the result. We can all confidently tell you 6 wks is conclusive, but if I were you Id certainly be a nervous wreck after finding those meds as well, but that doesn't mean you have anything. Test again @ 13 weeks to be sure if you'd like.

Great choice of a boyfriend. In custody, huh? Good to see you're going for quality.
Go back to school and get your nursing degree. It will stick with you when your boyfriend finally gets incarcerated for life.
