Quick Question

[scared760]

Ive tried to read up as much as I can on HIV.. (I think I have an anxiety problem) so I stress about anything and everything. I have been with the same girl for 4 years now... about 5 years ago, I had sex with a girl who I knew, sorta, but not too much.  I did use a condom, and reccently I heard she does druggs, I think heroin I heard, which she probably uses needles. Stupid decision on my part... but anyways, like I said, me and my fiance have been togehter for 4 years now. We have no real signs of anything (common cold once in a while, but nothing more than that)... I got tested about11 months ago... I tested negative, I dont know what kinda test they did, but it was a blood test... like I said, I dont know much about testing, I went to the Health Dept, got an HIV test, the drew blood, 1 1/2 weeks later I came back for my results and I was negative. Me and my fiance have only been with each other, never cheated in the past 4 years, is there any issue with me having to take anothert test coming up this november?... mostly concerned about the girl 5 years ago, I heard she has a kid now (not mine) and the kid seems to be okay, but is there any risk for me to take another test? just worried when I heard she does/did/uses needles, possibly.

Nor risk and a negative HIV test proves that. You are indeed negative.

thank you for your help... you guys are a great help to some ppl who work a lot, and don't have a lot of time to run around and look through books, instead ask you guys, the pros about stuff... I thank you

Yes, you are worrying about nothing.

[scared760]

no, the problem was/is that she probably/MIGHT have been doing druggs when we had PROTECTED sex that one time... but you pretty much answered my question. My real question is the accuracy of the blood test... and symptoms I may have, but liek you guys said, lol... I have anxiety and I am worrying about nothing, right?

You didn't need the first test from the situation that you have provided. You had protected sex and that carries NO RISK.

As you already said, your problem is anxiety, not HIV itself.  HIV was never your problem since you did not have exposure to. If you are having a monogamous relationship for the last 4 years and your last test, done recently came negative,  you have no reason to worry. You are 100% safe. If your ex started drugs after break up, it has nothing to do with the relations you had with her in the past. Enjoy your life and be loyal and committed to your partner, which is the real "zero" risk option of safe sex.
