NEGATIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[terrified2death]

Hello all. I was on here a few time for the past couple of weeks. I just wanted to let everyone know that I went for my results today and they are NEGATIVE at 13 weeks post exposure... I was so scared to go but I did and it all came out fine. I had to wait 2 weeks for mine so it has been a really bad 2 weeks. But now I can go on.

what about extreme dry mouth has anyone had that

[cluelessintexas]

extreme dry mouth is a sign of talking too much.. =) LOL!


BLUEBELL:
I know.  I wish I didn't have a high risk.. I would feel much better.

That is what I thought when I heard I had mono. I keep thinking I am under attack by multiple viruses.

I also have a paranoia that the mono antibodies have always been in my body due to a previous mono infection that I might not have known I had. I was reading your body can store mono antibodies that show up on lab tests for months even years!

I am also so tired of reading this new posts from people (mostly males) that have had zero risk. It makes me even more scared of my own situation.

I know.. I've been a wreck.  I am going to try my hardest to enjoy my vacation.  =0)
I am not convinced with a 6 week test.  I am just afraid that because I was also given herpes, that it is taking my body longer to build up antibodies.  I mean, if it's under attack from 2 diffferent viruses, wouldn't it take longer???

At least you have a 6 week negative. Dr HHH says that is pretty much conclusive. Just keep thinking about that and try to enjoy your vacation. I went on vacation 2 weeks after my exposure to my favorite place and I couldnt enjoy it at all. Even my Fourth of July was ruined. I spent it crying in my mom's bed. this summer has truly been ruined for me.

Thanks for the advice, I think I am going to take st johns wort for depression also.

I KNOW.  I am the exact same way.  I can't relax and am constantly worried.  It's hard to think about anything except.. HIV and possibly being +.  My lymph nodes in my arms are still sore.  =0(  
I am leaving to go out of town tomorrow and I won't even be able to enjoy it.  

I wish this nightmare would be over with a happy ending too.  I wish you the best of luck.  I will keep you in my prayers.  

I've been taking ginseng supplements--and it really makes me have an appetite again.. You should try and see if it works for you.. It's really helped me start eating again...

I have been so depressed all day I had to go up to my family's home because I cant sit here in my apt alone.

I felt ok a few days ago like everything would be fine, but now I have this horrible feeling that I cant shake. I used to enjoy being home alone, but now I hate it. I am so scared. I think I will make an appt for my 4 1/2 week test but I am almost too scared.

I wish this nightmare could be over with a happy ending.

how are you doing?

[bluebell81]

I am happy you tested negative, it must feel like a relief!

What was your exposure?

I had a 3 week negative test and am scared to go for my 6 week which is next week

[imworried5454]

Awesome

[cluelessintexas]

Hey. There you are.. I've been waiting for ya all day.  Where ya been?

[terrified2death]

Thank you so much. It has really made me feel so much better. I can promise you one thing...I will never do anything this stupid again for as long as I live. What is your status?

[cluelessintexas]

Congrats on your negative. =)

[terrified2death]

Says who? YOU. I haven't seem that anywhere. I think mouth sores are in the a vanced stages of HIV or even AIDS but not ARS symptoms  but you've got me on the sore arm pit thing.

[bigdummy]

The hell it isn't. Those are key symptoms.

[terrified2death]

No i didnt have any of that. But from what I have read on here I don't think that's HIV related.

[bigdummy]

What about sore armpits and mouth sores?

[regularjoey]

congrats!

[peekawho]

I'm truly happy for you.  I hope others read this too.  

[terrified2death]

Yeah me too. I was convinced that I had it. I had a rash sore throat. I have been very tired as well. So see the mind can do crazy things to you. I already feel so much better just knowing that I'm ok. It's like a huge weight has been lifted.
