I would deff listen to teak and nursegirl they know there stuff about hiv..or u wanna pay for a doctor to answer these questions then go ahead they gonna say the samething he said listen brother anxiety blows these people like teak and all the other hiv answering people they know there stuff there medical people there not gonna hurt you there here to help remember that so if you read all there posts that 12 weeks is conclusive no need for further testing..dont keep doing research on it becuz on the reality of it 6 months is so outdated ok lets put it like this when you have a flu right? Does it take 3 months or 6 to build up antibodies? No so think about it! The most will say maybe 2 weeks so there you go figure out that way! So move on and take ur negative test to the bank and for the future like teak said if it happens again its not a risk at all u need to shoot up drugs with out junkies!!! Not for a stick or poke..ok hope this helped out because i went thru this and i learn from the best people here take care !

You didn't share IV drug works, that would be when you inject the contents of a syringe into your vein after someone else.

You need to seek some help for this anxiety and "what iffing".
