I think you should start worrying a little more about your girlfriend and unborn Child. You should just wait until your next test to worry and most likely ur ok. I just suggest being there for your pregnant girlfriend because she is probably dealing with slot herself.

    thanks Teak...ik it sounds crazy about HCV (blood bourne fisease hepatitis c) but i have to believe thatwas a false positive just because my next test was negative a few days later for antibodies from my primary doc sounds like a lawsuit n a half to me...but under my belief and research there is a 99% result at 6 wks for antibodies from us disease and control dont have link but as my test result was at 6 n a half weeks .....my gf is 6 mnths pregnant n i did have to tell her i was with another grl  we both expereienced a sick phase but my daughter 4 yrs old also was sick and goes to daycare where germs fly around al the time.... i was just wondering the likelihood of me actually getting hiv then givin it to her who then gives it to my unborn son as the story goes anxiety of course could have made me experience some of the symptoms but i did have a brief time of beein sick both of us     and at 6 n a half weeks   how conclusive  thanks and any information the better thank u all
