but these is no way on earth one can get exposed to hiv with an erotic body massage, od a hand job,, Even a BJ is not a a risk factor to transfer hiv,, only if u have un protected sex with a partner who has hiv, then ur at risk!! so now not to worry,, to be on a safer side ,, get ur self tested at repeattive 4 - 6 months!

Hon,

There is no doubt, ask any expert, that a 12 week antibody is absolutely 200% conclusive, you do not have HIV.  In fact, although manufacturers will never state this as they are covering their arses, tests will pick up positive people much earlier than 12 weeks.

You do not have HIV.

You DO need to see a therapist.  Don't beat yourself up about it, by admitting you have this issue you are actually being strong and honest and saying that you deserve better.

Speak to you doc, get the counselling, you have no idea how much it can help x

Well, now you need to move on, you really do.  If you can't see your doctor, they can help.  Mine was a god send and without her I don't know where I would be now.

You will be ok, ok?

Sorry but this forum can't be of any more help to you. Follow up with your Dr, seek a therapist, post in the anxiety forum. But HIV is not a concern.

My interest is I came to this website several years ago asking about STD's from a regretful experience. After I got my answers I start to gain info on STD's and then HIV, to give back and help others that were like me.

I gained knowledge by asking questions to some trusted people, read responces from Teak, Lizzie, Nursegirl and Dr.HHH and Dr.Hook. Started doing research on my own.
