Your last post if solid proof that you are just anxiety filled. You acknowledge that it was a no risk situation but you still think infection is possible even with negative tests, which by the way you didnt even need in the first place. if you cant get over this then you should go seek counseling to get over the phobia. You cant go on living like that where every little sore throat or ache is a sign of HIV because it isnt so. Good luck to you.

thanks a mil lizzie, but its not that im having trouble accepting my results, i know that a hj has no chance of transmitting HIV, but ive been worried about it so much that i just wanna make shure so i can move on with my life, like my mouth has a burning cut feeling in it and my throat hurts on and off it could just be something i ate, i just want to be assured that it has nothing to do with hiv, and like i said , it would free me from my worries, its just the gurantee that my mind wants to hear......

why would you feel the need to test at 6 months?  3 months is conclusive for an exposure...which i might add that you did NOT have.

if you are having trouble accepting your result...seek the help of a mental health professional.

at this point even i think i am suffereing from anxiety,

A hadjob carries no risk and neither does making out with a girl. Plus every time somneone gets sick does mean they have HIV anyway, get over it already, you were never at risk. Plus you have a negative test.

your 2 months test is good to go...why?  because you were NEVER at risk.

under normal circumstances...with a real risk...i would say that a 2 month, 8 day negative test would be something to celebrate.  it is not likely to change.

what about my 2 months and 8 days negative is that a good sign?
what about making out, is that a risk? (i was biting her lip lightly but there was no blood)
and ur shure a hj where she touches my urethra is not a risk?

even though my only risk was a hj, and i tested negative up to 2months and 8 days
i just found out that a girl i made out with 3 weeks ago got sik and its killing me, i feel like i could have gave her HIV from making out with her and it makes me want to go get tested again cuz now its been 2 days short of 3 months since the hj to make shure i dont have HIV

what should i do?
people say hj is not a risk, what about making out?

Bamn, I give you my word - you have no risk from hand jobs. None at all.

Your constant fear is common. HIV anxiety is a very difficult issue to overcome. You do NOT need to worry. Your two month test is as good as gold. You don't have HIV.

If you cannot get over this and constantly worry, I urge you to seek professional help to deal with this. It is unhealthy to worry so much, you did not have a risk period. Your family doctor will be able to guide you to the correct course of action to overcome your anxiety.

I wish you the best, but from my experience, it sometimes is not enough to just reassure someone. I am telling you, I have absolutely no doubt in my mind - not even a TINY bit of doubt - about your HIV status. You do not have it.
