Any opinions or help
I recently just started getting paranoid. I am 36 year old female trying to conceive w/ my fiance of 9 1/2 years. Having some issues conceiving so went to specialist who wants me to get bloodwork done...which includes hiv. I have never been tested (always scared) my df was tested 8 years ago-negative. I have been looking at symptoms and am freaking out. I dated someone 10 years ago for a year and a half who I later found out was very promiscuous with other women. The other concern was w/ sex 19 years ago in which I got pregnant. All other times was pretty protected. Both men were not iv drug users or bisexual; However my problem is that since 1988 I have had issues w/ vaginal infections. I had a chronic yeast infection for 6 months after first incident. Then just on and off discharge for about ten years w/ minor burning hear and there. Then around 8 years ago or before started getting bacterial vaginosis rather frequently every time I had sex w/ my partner and still to this day will have one severe case a year that needs medically treated but minor odor and minor pain usually a day after intercourse. When I read that these types of infections are very common in women with hiv I have been flipping out. Also I have never had an abnormal pap smear. it is mostly guys on this forum so I am not sure if anyone can help me!!!! Scared and don't want to test.
If f they went on to marry and have kids I am sure you are fine, but just go get the rapid test and yoy will know in 20 min.
also wanted to add that both men I have heard have went on to marry and have a kid(s)
