Now the doctor basically says what I knew, NO Risk is crap

"That's all safe sex is, playing the odds. The only certainty against sexual acquistion of HIV is celibacy or permanent, lifelong mutual monogamy"


I think I made a big mistake, an now I'm scarred again. Why would I play odds with my life. My arms feel weak and my mouth is dry again.

to look at the risk possibilities among certain populations, etc.

There are some situations in which NO risk is accurate...others are low risk...I suppose there is always, some risk attached to unsafe or unprotected sex, HIV/AIDS excluded (STDs, unwanted pregnancy).

Methinks you might be overly scared...I am myself...so I understand.

I wore a condom, no apparent malfunction. I'm assuming I and her would know if the condom broke. I'm just so affraid I don't know what to do with myself. I don't even think I want to get tested next week anymore. I don't know if I'm ready to put myself through it. Maybe I'll wait till the 7th or 8th week mark.

Teak and others think I'm crazy, but I just do not feel like my normal self. And my dry mouth will not go away.

Also I have these two bruises on each of my arms, where blood has been drawn. WHy haven't they healed. It's been less than a week for one of them, but almost 2 wks for the other. This woman did something evil to me, I can just feel it.

Nothing in this world is "NO RISK".
Next time I go outside I could get run over by a bus.
But I'm going outside anyway, in about 5 minutes actually.
I'll watch out for cars and falling bricks and take my chances.
