I was tested around the 81/2,9 week mark after exposure.which i know isn't conclusive.i'm suppose to go get retested tuesday which would be a conclusive test but i am so scared i actually am shaking just thinkking about it.i keep seeing them telling me the test is positive over and over again.i have really bad anxiety which doesnt help either.it took alot for me to get the test at 81/2ish weeks.i was so scared i couldnt breathe was sweating and shaking the whole time.couldnt even sleep the night before.please someone help me.if my test that was almost 9 weeks after exposure was negative should ibe more confident?because i'm so scared that there gunna tell me its positive.this is controlling my life.i have to find out if its negative so i can stop being miserable.someone please help me.please.im begging
I have to. i have to just get it over with so i can move on with my life.. everyday this is always on my mind.i want to just get over it already.i hope everything is OK and my test is negative.

it is HIGHLY unlikely that your test result will change.
man up and test

yea,same with me.and the internet doesn't help at all..everyday i find a new symptom and realize i have it=(
I'm actually more concerned about the "maybe protected sex" more then the unprotected sex because he didn't cum when we had unprotected sex and it only lasted a few minutes.im more worried about the sex that started off protected but not sure if it ended protected..i asked him and he said yes the condom stayed on and he gets tested every couple months but i have alot of trust issues and anyone can say anything.i did get tested 9 weeks after these exposures and it was negative..im just scared when i go back it will come back positive.i think about this constantly.
I had a scare before and I had EVERY symptom in the book and I still came up negative. I understand how scared you are, but try to think about the advice you would give to a good friend if he or she was in your place, that might help your anxiety.
Do you know the status of your sex partners? You had a risk, but don't give up hope. Symptoms don't necessarily mean anything.
I had one time unprotected sex, and once was protected but i think the condom broke/popped or something but i'm not sure.. i normally woulldnt be so worried but im having SO many symptoms =(
