Hiv/std test came back negative after 6 months, could there be a mistake?
Hi everyone,
a little over 6 months ago, i had a sexual exposure with another man (i'm a man) and he did penetrated me for about 15 seconds but i did not like it so we ended it. Problem is that i don't remember if he was wearing a condom (big mistake for not noticing, but he was wearing one while i was performing oral on him a couple of minutes before.).
After this act, i forgot about all of it but 2 weeks ago, I decided to get tested after being scared for a month about what I was finding on the internet. So i went to get tested at a general clinic , I don't know how the test is called but it was a blood test. I also was tested for other STD. All came back negative Monday, but I can't get over it. Is it possible in any way that my test were mistaken for some other patient and that someone else has received my test? Because I remember having something like a pimple on my anus rim that lasted for a few weeks. I don't have it anymore but I was so sure it was syphilis and since I don't have it, i'm scared my results were mixed with someone else or they were mistaken in any way.
Thanks a lot for any help.

I know, I was just so desperate when I did it, it was before i posted on the forum. Now i realise how stupid this was and will be getting some help because I can't take it anymore. I can't slrep more than 5 hours and can't eat correctly. Messaging her was just a bad idea because I feel like the reason she's not answering me is because she knows I'm right and as much as I want to convince myself that i'm being ridiculous, i can't. Sorry once again.
Wow, you tracked the nurse down on FB and messaged her? That's HIGHLY inappropriate and intrusive behavior. You had no right to do that.
You REALLY need to seek some help for your obsessive thinking.

Ok thank you for the answer. Once I get mentally/emotionnaly stable would you like me to repost here to share how it ended so it could maybe help others with the same OCD problem? Thank you.
Move along you don't have an HIV concern and you are wasting our time. You are beyond the scope of help that this or any other Internet forum can provide.
I'm so sorry it's just that no one answers me on the OCD forum...I just want to know if i'm out of my mind...
Yesterday (about 24 hours ago) i found the nurse that dis the tests on me on facebook and sent her a message and asked her if it was possible that my tests were mixed or if there could have been a mistake but she did not answer me and I can't stop thinking it's because she found out friday afternoon there was a mistake and can't tell me on facebook... Am I losing my mind or could thia be possible?
Thank you for this answer. The pimple was not hiv concern related but more of a std like syphilis that could have proven that my test were wrong for some reason. Answers from people who commented helped me though to realise that I'm overreacting over something i should be happy with. As teak suggested me i'll get professionnal counselling for possible OCD. I wish to remain sane mentally and if that's the way of doing so well i'llmake some calls as soon as monday. Thank you for replying if anyone still has anything to add i wouls be more than happy to use your help.
A negative test after 12 weeks is negative! You took one way past that. Your pimple is something I cannot comment on but I can confidently say that it is not HIV related.
Thank you for your time, I certainly appreciate it,
I wish it was as easy to say to put it behind me, but that pimple is the thing holding me back. Yesterday, I called the nurse that did the blood test on me, and she told me that I should not worry since she passes one patient an hour so she can take the time to do everything right and avoid mistakes.
I thought a negative test would reassure me but until now my life is still a nightmare, wish I could take it back. I posted on the OCD forum, but if anyone has anything else to add here, please do.

Thank you for replying.
what about the pimple? at a certain point it was firm and at another point it was more manipulable like i could ''play'' with it and was in a certain way ''hanging by a thread''.
Thank you for your time
Thank you for your time
What do you mean by that?
I'm just trying to know if in anyway such a mistake can happen.
Thanks for replying.
