Insomnia--TEAK

[cluelessintexas]

I saw that you take sleeping medication to help with sleep.  When did that start for you??  Have you always taken a sleep aid??

I have not been able to sleep without ambien, but the past couple of days.. I tried to sleep, but I kept waking up every couple of hours... I kept having nightmares and stuff...

I wish it were a 3 month negative--I would feel much better if that were the case.

I believe he should be jailed too, but I don't want to be the one to put him there.  He would find out that it was me who told and I would be afraid he would come looking for me.

You should feel good now, a 6 week test is much higher than 80% accurate.

Now I don't know the full details of your story, only you do.  But I believe that a guy who drugs and rapes women should be jailed and for a long time.  He can't harm you from jail, by the way.

Just because someone takes a sleeping pill has nothing to do with HIV. It has to do with the ability to get to sleep and get a good nights rest. Period....

I am terrified to file a report.  The only reason why I have spoke up on here is because NO ONE will find out who I am.  

It's been 6 weeks of living hell.. I don't want to increase it by having him try to kill me too.

That should have read "I wanted to have children OF my own one day"...

Also, are you at risk for HIV?

[cluelessintexas]

I plan on staying away from creeps. I am happily married and NEVER intended for this to happen..

I just hope my life is not ruined.  I wanted to have children on my own one day...

I think you're fine.
Herpes is just an inconvenience and it looks like you dodged the HIV bullet.
Take the test for the peace of mind, but don't worry about it now.

Good night.

P.S. Sounds like the guy is a creep and raped you (unless you're hiding something).  Why not report him to the police?

[cluelessintexas]

I really hope you are right about a 6 week test being HIGHLY accurate.  The clinic where I got the test said it was about 80%.  

I want a negative result from here on out...

[regularjoey]

You should relax, a 6 week test is highly accurate!  Take a test at three months but expect only a negative result now.

Try to stay away from creeps in the future

My story:  A guy that I did not know that well put something in my drink..
I remember him being very rough during vaginal intercourse.  He made me bleed internally and I was sore.  I recently test + for herpes.. Just don't know which kind yet because there were not enough antibodies present yet...

I had a 6 week rapid HIV test that was negative.. Now just counting down the days... (and going crazy in the process)


I feel like my chances are greater because:

High risk-vaginal intercourse (with bleeding)
female
he is african american, injects steroids, HAS herpes --and gave them to me.
I am terrified.

what's your story? I don't see your original posts here, only comments to other people

Teak-- Is Marinol injectable???  

RegularJoe- I think I am suffering.. No, I KNOW I am suffering from anxiety...

I can't relax

[regularjoey]

I've never heard of insomnia being associated with HIV.
But anxiety/depression clearly is and can lead to insomnia.
You have sleep problems due to anxiety, I think

[Teak]

I didn't start taking sleeping pills till after a few months of starting HAART. I don't know anyone taking steroids for wasting, if anything they'll take Marinol.

[cluelessintexas]

I'm going to have a nervous breakdown.  

[cluelessintexas]

The reason I ask.. Cause I know the "guy" that did this to me..
-Took Ambien cause he could not sleep at night
-was injecting steroid (perhaps for wasting?)
-was taking Bactrim..

Is this a coincidence.. Ahh **** I am scared.
