Why when i got my hiv test results from dr. on the test paper it said retest again in 3 months for high risk exposure...How do they know how long its been from my exposure to when i tested...
Yea i understand..just dont know why im having these physical symptoms..body aches and joint aches for months now...even when i was having these symptoms i tested and it was negative..
A very large majority of people who post here are exactly the same in that they feel guilty about what they did and that makes them sure that they have HIV. But that is just not the case. Guilt does not make a person have HIV. I've been a long time lurker on this board, over 2 years, and only recently registered and I've never seen anyone who posted here about their question test positive for HIV. I've seen thousands of posts with people who feel guilty and who are convinced they have it even in circumstances where infection isn't even possible. It's all just guilt, nothing more than that.
I just have extreme anxiety about hiv..and guilt and depression over this...i know it sounds crazy and stupid..but im scared to retest cause i keep thinking it will be positive
Thank you webbers i appreciate your pleasant reply...im was stupid to have unprotected sex with him the second time..guess i just wasnt thinking staright cause the 1st time i tested it was negative..but i shouldnt take that for granted
Tina I wouldn't worry so much about why the printed test says to test again in 3 months. That's not the important thing. Its probably a standard printed form that everyone gets from that lab.
The important thing for you is what you've already been told which is to test 3 months after your last unprotected exposure for a conclusive result. That's all you need to know. And always use condoms because besides HIV there are a lot of other STds that are a lot easier to catch that can easily be avoided when you use a condom.

i know im sorry..he just told me hes negative..so after sleeping with him the 1st time and testing out the 12 weeks..i didnt think twice of sleeping with him the second time unprotected..you never know if ppl are lying thats why im scared...and im more scared why my second test said retest in 3 months in high risk sitations
so if he said he was negative, why did you test in the first place?
are you aware that you can have sex with someone, who is hiv positive, MANY times and never get infected...your test will be negative. then you sleep with that same person, who is hiv positive and didnt infect you, and BAM...you just contracted hiv?
START OVER...3 months post your last exposure.
USE CONDOMS ! ! ! geeeeeez

im just wondering why that comment was on my test result..im very nervous and scared
no i didnt but it was with same person and he said he was negative..and the 1st time i slept with him i was tested 3 months after exposure..
"i had unprotected sex with only 1 person first time i slept with him was 11 weeks 4 days after exposure then i stupidly slept with him again and tested again after 2 weeks was negative again"
so after you had unprotected sex again...2 weeks later...you waited another 3 months and tested?

yes so im wondering why it would say that..i tested like 11 weeks something days
does anyone know why my test result would say at the bottom retest again in 3 months for high risk exposure...?? Does it say this on al test results..or do they think something may be wrong with mine
