SICK
very anxious very worried very scared and highly streesed, for the past few weeks im over 14 weeks past exposure and waiting to take test i couldnt get an appointment untill the new year and im scared of the out come, i have came down with a bad case of flu symptoms at the end of october, also had a cold for the past week to 10 days its just nmainly nasal congestion and may be du to the freezing weather we had and snow causing rhinitis. ive looked through the forums and see the general consensus that majority of ars symptoms occur at 2 weeks but dr cummings states it come up to 6 weeks but alot of the internet sights says the window period of ars is 13 weeks but usuall occur by 4 weeks as this is whenthe body has seroconverted, usuallyu 95% will test positive at this time an and 99% by 6 weeks so i think ive sero converted, my test will be at nearly 17 weeks but ive read horror stories about tests missing infections and people being rapid convertors and having aids diagnosis within 4/5 months of infection, m wondering would it be worth goin to the dr tomorrow for a test even though it will go on my medical record advice would be appreciated
teak im sorry for the continuing posts i just need to test, im wondering what are these institests or ora quick tests ive read about and usually how much do they cost and how reliable will it be tomorrow, this driving me crazy
im struggling here i dont think i can go on with this its killing wat if the flu was sero conversion help me please
so say im concerned of hepatitis they would test me even though imay of got it through a non sexual route
okay one more question teak i have an appoinment booked for a few weeks time at the GUM i was going to ask for a full blood test im just wondering would they test me ????????because it non sexual there not open now untill the new year so cant ring for advice or should i go to my GP and get tested there now ive read these will go on my permanent record
teak it doesnt state no risk does it (i only quickly glanced) hiv is very low wher i live in the united kingdom in a area that has one of the lowest hiv rate in the country i think thers 1500 hiv infection and the general population is 2.5 million according to wikipediaim really anxious over this do i neede testing for other blood pathogens that they mentioned hep C, B etc.
i steped on a syringe it scraped my toe when i was walking my dog (had sandals on) ive read its high risk
