has anyone read this thread lately     :Coincidence? Very scared  .    What do you think . Is this even possible ???

[ImStupid]

I agree that its more likely he lied about the Positive result than the exposure.  Scary nonetheless.  Did he ever post in this "patient to patient" forum?  I would be curious to compare threads.

here is the link...and I agree with peekawho...this guy was soooo convinced he was HIV positive before he even had a test and then presto! he was right? come on...

He was so convinced he was positive that he felt he couldn't admit he was wrong, that's what I think.

If that was his only risk, then he either lied about the result, or misunderstood that it was an unconfirmed test.  

Anyone who comes on here spreading doom and gloom, saying things like they are 100% sure they are positive, and have 9000 symptoms, rarely are.

Why would he lie under an anonymous internet name?  What did he have to gain by lying about his exposure when he was coming to the site (paying 15 bucks) and looking for help?  He was only hurting himself by lying to the doc about his exposure.  He came here BEFORE he knew he was HIV positive.

At the risk of boring everyone again, my husband lied to each and every one of his doctors as to how he aquired HepC.  Since he seems honest, has a good job, clean cut, and is in general a likeable guy, they assume he is telling the truth.  This has gone on for a decade now.

Only I know he is a former IV drug user.  To his doctors, he's one of the "rare" sexually transmitted or unknown transmission cases.  

If he can lie, I know others can lie.  They don't want people to know the truth about how something was aquired.

Are purple spots/marks a sign of infection?
