No unprotected sex for 11 months. Is my HIV test accurate?

How accurate is the OraQuick ADVANCE® Rapid HIV-1/2 Antibody Test? I haven't had unprotected sex since 11/13/09.

I tested at Planned Parenthood on 9/30/09. The result was NEGATIVE.

I also tested for gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis. ALL NEGATIVE.

Oh yeah, and normal pap smear...

Can I trust this test? I am MEGA paranoid!

Perhaps some of you might have also read my other thread where I ask if HIV can be transmitted by sharing a nitrous balloon. What is you opinion on that matter?

PLEASE HELP! TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!

Hi Tom! You caught me...yikes! As you can see, here I am AGAIN. Probing and posting once more.

Immense fear and guilt, lots of anxiety. I do wonder if I'm suffering post traumatic stress syndrome since I almost drowned from a river a few months ago. I was blessed to be rescued by a kind woman. I never really had a chance to process the ordeal. I just came back home from my camping trip and proceeded with life as usual.

Anywho, thank you again to all who have assured me over & over that my test result is accurate.

God bless.

if you are unable to move past this...seek the help of a therapist.  the forum should not be a substitute for one on one counseling with a professional.

Thank you much. I posted a similar thread last night...Another site member said the same.

I know, I know...I'm a total nut case! I feel guilty about my paranoia, especially since I'm trying to remain sensitive to those who have been infected and affected by this terrible disease.

God bless.

You dont have to freak out or whatsoever. As I recall, I already told you earlier  that you dont have HIV. All your tests were conclusive. Trust your test results. and Please move on.
