So many HIV Tests (All Negative) but still worrying a bit..

Dear Friends,

For me, Its been more than 2 years now that I had a sex with Unknown Person (more than 2 years back). I used condom also.. But kept on worried.. in these 2 years, I have taken test so many times. 6 times. 2 weeks back also I took the test as I am planning for a wedding. always I took, ELISA and PCR DNA and Western Blot Test.. altogether... All the time the result was Negative. Even, In these two years, I consulted with the HIV Specialist, who always told me that I should move on...But still worried myself.. Do I need to really worry? (Or) its Phobia? Anyone faced these kind of situation? why I am unable to believe that everything is fine. Life is becoming not peaceful nowdays.. I am not able to move on happily. I think I should get educated... :-(

You have NOTHING to worry about. Your "possible" exposure happened 2 years ago, your test answers are definitive.

However, no matter what we say to you - I'm sure you will still worry. How do I know this? Oh, because I did the same thing about 5 years ago. I ended up taking the advice that someone gave me, a doctor and I'm going to say the same thing to you.

You should see a professional. You have so much worry and anxiety that you cannot see the forest beyond the trees. You are repeating the same scenarios in your head and it will drive you crazy. Please, I have been there... take the time and speak with a professional. I have been seeing a doctor for 4 years now and I have never been better. I can wake up every day now and not be afraid.

Not sure if I understand the question. But no I would not worry at all. HIV tests are so reliable now days and ALL of yours were negative. Again let me say. You NEVER had a risk since it was protected sex.

You are 100% fine. It seems this maybe a phobia for you. You are negative end of story.you  Never even had a risk since it was protected. Please move on and be happy or seek mental help because physically you are fine when it comes to HIV. Be happy.
