MY RESULTS!!!

I just rang up to see if any of my results were in and the lady looked them up. They are not all ready yet, I am not in the clear yet for chlamydia but I am HIV negative!!!!!!!!!!! As soon as I hung up the phone I started to cry. I am in such disbelief, I had myself convinced that I couldnt have come through my high risk encounters without contracting HIV. I had every symptom! I was very very stupid over six months ago. so I know the results are conclusive. I am negative. I am generally not a religious person but I prayed to God to give me another chance and he has! :) I will not forget what this has taught me. I am a school teacher and now I know I want to dedicate my life to education about HIV/AIDS. Nobody should have to go thru this. The world is far too AIDS unaware. We need to bring it out in the open that HIV can affect anyone and it does affect people just like you and me. I know there are organisations doing just this, but really, there is still a negative stigma attached to AIDS and there needn't be. more needs to be done, especially for young people. I dont know what its like in USA but in Australia, people my age and younger didnt get the messages put out in the 1980s, and alot has changed since then. There is more information, support and treatment than ever before. Something must be done and I dont see why it shouldnt be me doing it! Thanks everybody for your kind words, support & understanding. I wish you all the best of luck and all the happiness in the world. :)

Thanks!
I just wanted to add: (I know its probably not a new revelation) but 'HIV anxiety' is a pretty debilitating illness in itself.
