Why Don't I have HIV?
My husband and I were married in Nov. of 2006. We had unprotected sex in the months of Nov, Dec, Jan and Feb. I had an HIV test in Jan. It was Neg. We decided to start using condoms to prevent pregnancy. We did not have unprotected sex in the months of Feb, March, April, May and mid June.
In mid June, the condom broke and I rushed in to the clinic for a morning after pill. I got on the nuva ring and thereafter had unprotecd sex approx 10 times through the end of June through July 10.
My husband recently tested pos (on Friday the 13th, last week,)
I tested neg again on Monday. .
Why don't I have hiv?
When can I find out? I have a sore throat, a cough...a summer cold, I guess.
Should I start treatment now to narrow the risk of infection or is it way too late for that?
If I test positive a few weeks from now, is it safe to assume that it was aquired between the two us after April? He got a tattoo in April. I don't want to beleive that he had an affair, but I also don't want to stay with a man who would put our family in that kind of danger. I just wish there were a way to know iwhen he got it. I am angry.

Atripla make you feel kinda dizzy and drunk, but that will usually go away. That's why you take it at night. In the mornings you'll feel okay. It may take a couple of days to get use to it.
Is it normal to have anxiety and panic when worried? Of course until you been told a million times your negative then it becomes a mental issue. By the way I use to work in Dallas.
I teach 4th grade.. Are you kidding.. I would NEVER quit that job (*wink*)
Do the meds make you feel sick?

I hope it happens in my case I don't want to contract HIV after one exposure. Even though, there was bleeding involved with the vaginal sex.
Is it normal to have all this anxiety.. to the point where I feel like I could have a panic/anxiety attack.
