Tested...
I just tested myself 11 weeks after exposure (about 10 episodes of unprotected sex with two women) and it came back negative. This has been the best forum to look at (not this one, but the Dr.-modified one) as it gave me perspective on real risks. A few things before I leave this board forever 1) If you don't have any risk, you don't have HIV 2)Get tested if you do have a risk or if the only way you will move on is to get it 3) Take the results and move on 4) Learn from it and protect yourself. Cheers!
I used a home test kit which are technically illegal except in "places of treatment" in Canada but I ordered online. I understand not wanting people testing themselves at home, but for me it was the best way to go.
They were regular women. I have never been with a sex worker and I doubt they would have unprotected sex even had I wanted to. I became so obsessed with HIV that I figured out my rough chances of having HIV (Somewhere between 20,000-40,000/1). The way I thought of it to get through the last couple of weeks was to just imagine that every single person at an average baseball game was a similar man who did the same things that I did, at most, on average only one of those people would catch HIV.
