HIV Results

My new boyfriend, who is a new doctor, asked me to get an HIV test.  I had it done last week, but I am absolutely freaking out about the results now.  Not that I have been sexually reckless or promiscuous in the past, I have been with other men, the majority protected (condom) and 3-4 men were not (don't believe any excessive fluids were exchanged though).  I talked to my family doctor about it and he agreed to mail me the results rather than calling me.  But I'm scared and I'm convinced I'm positive.  What should I do? I know I need to know the result but I don't actually want to know.

Hi there,

Stay away from the internet, do more outdoor activities.  Time pass faster than we can imagine.

If none of those men were bisexual, recreational drug users, or just out of prison your almost certainly fine. Even if they are one of the above you are probably still fine. No use in stress, just wait for your negative result in probably a few days.

You should be fine. It is always good to know your hiv status because you will hopefully always be careful from then on. I hope you asked him to take one too. Both people should know.
