you have had no risk. trust me and for your symptoms. it could be a viral infection very typical of  symptoms. you stressed out so much doesn't help your immunity to clear the infection. it is not hiv .

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.

ANXIETY/PANIC ATTACK.

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.

Your symptoms are clearly realted to anxiety, if you have not already talked to your GP about this then you need to.  There are many things that can help you including theray and medication.  Within a relatively short period of time using these 2 things you will start to feel better.

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?

can i please hear u say one last thing...."a 12 week hiv antibody test is definitive and conclusive"....now i need to see a therapist....my doc has actually recommended counseling  but i told him not yet....thank you very much

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
