Going for the Final Test: Wish Me Luck

[HansrowSenoj]

Hey guys,

     In the last few weeks I'd begun to forget about all of this, even ignored some of the little happeneings, however, as my test time approached it of course resurfaced in my mind. I don't really know how I feel going into my final test which will be tomorrow. I'm still not as strong as I was with my cycling and I have no idea why. I'm sure some of it is just mental, so that will be one good part to this test. If it comes back negative I can hopefully regain the mental edge I used to have and will need to push past the pain that comes with cycling.

     To recap, I had one negative insurance test at 4 weeks and another negative HIV Antibody test at 7 weeks. Hopefully, I can be confident with those and from all the info I've gained.... Those results won't change. I've started having some stomach adnormalities.... but no decreased appetite and no real diarrhea, so I'm not too worried about that. In fact my appetite has increased to the point where I've actually wondered if I may have worms.... LOL! When I was younger I used to eat so much my mom would ask if I had worms.... I got so scared about it one time that I didn't stool for a week.... LOL!! Anyway, because of that increased appetite I'm not to worried about the little noises my stomach is making all of a sudden.... Not for HIV anyway.

     I doubt that I should be worried, but a lot has happened in the last few weeks. This whole ordeal has raised a lot of personal questions and fear.... As well as regrets, some stress and indecision.... Most of which have nothing to do with the incident or HIV. I'm sure that a negative result will be conclusive for me now. I've always been pretty healthy so even my seven week should have been good. My immune system is strong and I'm rarely sick (Thank God) so it should have produced Antibodies by the seventh week.

     Anyway, wish me luck and any amount of reassurance you want to offer would be greatly appreciated.... No matter how unnecessary it might be.... I can use all of the "You have nothing to worry about"s as I can get.... As long as you really mean it.

Thanks.

Thanks guys. I feel confident, but there is always that bit of doubt.... Especially, since there is a small possibility that seroconversion can take place after 7 weeks. I just took my test today. Couldn't make it out Monday or Tuesday and had to go in late in order to do it today. A few things have me concerned, but I won't mention them. I'll just accept that I can do nothing about the results now and hope to learn from this experience. Hopefully, all goes well and this time next week or maybe Thursday or Friday I will know my results and begin my new year on a good note.

However, as I say that I'd also like to mention that I can understand the concern some persons have had about the nurses who conducted their tests.... During my last tests, both nurses made me feel comfortable and I had no doubts after dealing with them. This time I didn't feel as comfortable with any of the nurses... Especially, not the one who took my blood, but I think that that is how it is with anyone. Sometimes you take well to people and others you just don't connect with.

Anyway, I'll end with that and hope for good results.

good attitude you have studied testing well. You will continue to be Neg for your other tests already told you so. Hope you didn't loose any sleep over it after your 7 week test.
