Wishing you all the  best.. Good luck,, there are many odds in your favour and therefore more reasons for a "negative" test report for you.  Do let us know about your results.

It is our social and moral responsibility to support and standby with those, living with HIV, however having said that, it is equally important for us to provide accurate and correct information on prevention, to those, not infected. This is the only way, we can play our role in controlling the rate of transmission of the infection.

One important point for you, treatment of HIV is neither cost effective, nor easily available in the third world countries, where major segment of world population lives and the risks are also high there. This is a global site and people from every part of the world come here to seek guidance, therefore we must keep this important point in mind also. Regards

what i meant its not like it used to be 10 or 20 years ago When we thought hiv was like ebola .. now its way way easier to live with hiv than before because of the meds ..i know living with hiv hard but not as hard as it used to be before when there were no meds to stop aids and live way way longer

Symptoms do not mean much and often confusing and misleading. I tend to disagree with "Anxietysuck". It is still a big deal until medical science discovers  a cure for HIV. As of today, there is no cure for HIV, therefore cure is the only cure so far.

This post from Anxietysuck carries misleading information, like taking a pill,,,,, Living with HIV has never been easy, this is the reason, we all stress and emphasise on protection and care.

Since you had unprotected sex with someone of unknown health status, you exposed yourself to HIV risk. The only way to rule out the possibility is, to get yourself tested for HIV antibody/antigen Duo 4th generation test after 4 weeks of exposure, collect your conclusive report and move on with your life,,, Lesson learned,, never ever unprotected again with anyone outside your mutually committed monogamous partnership.

ure symptoms not related to hiv

even if u are have postive its not a big deal like it used to be 10 years ago

you can take one pill a day and live normally and get married and make healthy babies... and never get aids

and btw gonorrhea transmit way way way way easier than hiv

and having unprotected sex with hiv postive woman  have chance of less than 2 out of 1000 to get hiv

so u need to have sex with her for 2 years at least

relax and i hope ur good

and prob the woman u were with didnt have hiv
