Worry warts, sleep good tonight!

I had unprotected sex with a russian girl who has only been in the country for 2 months.  2 Months later I started getting really sick.  All of these symptoms were not all occuring at the same time, I may have had three at once then some would go away and others would come. It started out with shortness of breath and fatigue.  He look in my ears and said that my ear drums were dull and retracted. After the doctor asked me about my sexual partners and told me that he had hiv patients with the same symptoms, I got scared.  A couple days after that I started having many more symptoms.  Night sweats, extreme fatigue, upper respitory infection, coughing up clear chunks, mouth ulcers, lose of appetite, lost 14 pounds in one month,  lymph node under chin a little sore, underneath both of my armpits were very sore and swollen, docs said that it was not the nodes, it was the tendons, my stool was loose a few times and has not looked heathly in a long time, white spots in the back of my throat they tested for mono which was negative they said post nasal drip, prickly throat, slight fever, palm of hands looked rashy like a photo I seen online of hiv patients, docs said poor cirulation, very high blood pressure, systolic and diostic, breathing problems, bad headaches, sometimes blood would come out of my nose when I would  blow it and sometimes blood I would cough up along with mucous, blurred vision and my pupils would restrict and dilate very rapidly, my eyes started looking sunk in,you could see my lower eye bone really well.  I had many symptoms and it felt like I was going to die.  Despite all of this after the russian girl I started a relationship and we were sexually involved one month after the incident, and she got pregnant.  My high risk exposure was in middle of October 2006.  I tested negative at 2 months with western blot, negative at 4 months with viral load test.  Then at 6 months I tested negative with regular hiv test from labcorp.  My baby was born july 4 2007.  Mother and baby tested negative for hiv at hospital.  I am going to stop letting this haunt me and I an going on with my life.  Sometims god uses what ever it takes to get your attention so that you will acknowledge him and make him #1 in your life.  Some people dont get the chance to make a life turn around so everyone reading this post dont wait till something happens in you or your families life that will cost FOREVER IN HELL!!  Dont mean to be blunt but its time for us to stop sugar coating life, time to stop settling for the crumbs of life and time to get the most out of life with true peace and joy that I dont have time to talk about in this post. Dont give up anything that you are doing, but when you get offline, know that jesus is standing next to you, ready with open arms to recieve and forgive you for EVERYTHING... focus on a relationship with him, then follow your heart and he will lead you and he will help you eventually get rid of the junk in our lives.  But remember, HE NEVER SAID IT WOULD BE EASY OR THAT WE WOULD EVER BE PERFECT. ALSO REMEMBER THAT THIS IS LIKE BOXING, SATAN DOES NOT GET EXCITED WHEN HE KNOCKS YOU DOWN BUT WHEN HE KNOCKS YOU OUT!!!  Hope that every one here enjoys the rest of their day and the rest of your life.  Dont worry about yesterday because it is gone, dont worry about tomorrow because tomorrow will take care of itself or it may never come.  What ever you are experiencing right now in your life...It could be better and it could be worse, So take Care:)
