Now is it more likely 6 weeks?
I just can't get it out of my head of having HIV after a 17 week Negative. I still fear that I am one who will take longer...Bluebell, tell me how you accepted your 7 weeks negative so I can feel comfortable with my 17 week negative. If you got over your fear I should get over mine just as easily. someone please offer some insight.
Here is how I got over my fear:
I got ahold of myself, made myself stop questioning authority figures on the subject of HIV...such as Dr. HHH, Seattle Public Health HIV counselors. I realize regular doctors know nothing about HIV so I didnt listen to them, but I do listen to Dr HHH and HIV experts.
I took into account what everyone else on these forums was saying to me. It was hard, but after a while it just clicked that I am acting phobic, paranoid and crazy.
I know that I don't have it. My 7-week test is proof. I won't test anymore.

I agree with Joe, you have a mental problem, guilt probably. No HIV test will get rid of that. You might need professional help.
i think it's time you need to seek counseling, HIV/Fear disorder. i know its hard to let go but once yo can't handle on your own seek professional help.
I really do stay budy a lot...i am working, taking online classes, starting a new college in the fall, go to baseball and football games with my boyfriend, hang out with friends and family, shop, Im ALWAYS busy but it seems like the times im not I go right to the computer and then something else starts to scare me all over again.
What should I do about this: Its been like 9 months since my exposure with a unknown male and im now back with my past boyfriend of like 2 years. I have this horrible fear that he's gonna get like this rash or something that im gonna see on his body and all of a sudden think its from ARS so everytime im with him I like examine him!! its horrible!. I dont know what my problem is!!! what should i do?!

The hot issue at the moment is just how much are you going to drive yourself crazy about this. Stay productively busy. You need to give some credence to your negative test result.
suggestions: ( it still depends on your preference )
1.Go fishing
2.Go shopping
3.spend time with your family ( get you Butt out of the P.C.)
4 try a new sport ( i suggest Airsoft its my sport)
5.learn cooking
do anything that would keep you busy. sky is the limit you will be amazed at how quickly the time can pass.
