I hate to freak out guys but I am going to the doctor today. My mouth looks like something off of aliens, in that my tounge is white and looks like cottage chese, my tonsils are swollen and have lots of white patches on them. The sides of my neck hurt and are puffed out. Gotta be glands on the side. I am so scared. All night I woke up with drenched bed sheets. Bad night. I know when the doc sees my mouth and throat he is goiong to ask about HIV. I will tell him I tested negative at 14 weeks. My tounge has looked like this for like 2 months, but just started hurting 2 days ago with the patches in the throat. Does thrush put patches on your throat and make it hurt real bad?
hey dudes
6-8 weeks is ofcourse conclusive for the low risk worried wells here.. (ummm... the stripper in the next room farted.. while i was taking my pants off.. i'm feeling weak.. is my 28th month negative test conclusive??)
however..
if ur partner was hiv+, condom breakage, no condom... u name it..
all doctors online and "real" recommend at least 3 months testing.. some even recommend 6 months..

No problem. Hard to follow things on the net sometimes...especially when not thinking straight! :)
I agree with your 2nd paragraph.

Well, it seems something I said made you so upset that "you" have gone to the extent of belittling people and their worries. Yes, even I believe the doctor. Why would I ask people to believe me [how can I even without any medical knowlege] when such expert opinion is available on this website? However, it is apparent "you are" still worried about the validity of your 8 week test which is making you still visit HIV forums or is it that you are doing it to help people through their window periods. Haven't you been already informed by the doc or haven't "you" checked "time to positive test" archives here which says 8 weeks is considered good enough in developed nation be it USA or Canada. Talk about trust!!!
Dude...don't throw stones at other people when your own house is made out of glass. Live and let live..If you can't respect or appericate other people's thoughts, you don't need to make fun either.
Everyone here has something in common which is FEAR of the unknown because no one other than the doc is an expert here. There is nothing I have mentioned in my posts which happened to be disrespectful towards anyone.
As far as "u r" goes, I assume you must be an elementary school english teacher. Get a freaking life!!!!!
You totally misread my post. It was not geared toward you but toward "worstnightmereever".
Please re-read the post. Nonetheless, I forgive you....lol ;0)
