When reading these guys post here that cant seem to except there test conclusiveness
Where does that leave us i for one will not second guess my decision to stop testing at 84 days have i made a mistake  i dont think so
What you all should learn is this except it dont second guess it the net is not the place to be if you cant except it
And yes my dr told me at 40 days not to test again but i did all the way to 84 days and yes i now have sex with my wife unprotected  
GET OVER IT THATS ALL

if you look back over your post you got some serious outside help, lost your best friend and basically hit bottom. sometimes that has to happen before you can stop the mental games, especially when it comes to hiv. there is an ocd forum that people can go to for some help, but i do recommend a therapist. so be patient with the guy who thinks his finger touched his cousin shirt which was iron by a gay guy who's roommate has aids. or the girl who did some serious french kissing and now feels she is infected. we are all here to listen and respond when we think its appropriate, if you feel they should just get over it, dont reply , you are not helping by dismissing their emotions. i think we all need to be tolerant of each other on the forum. i dont wish this to offend anyone . if someone wants to post over and over again on their 26 th test, if you dont feel like answering it , than dont.

I agree.
Accept the results and move on
Stop looking on the internet for symptoms-research, etc.I was this close to committing myself for doing this.
I FINALLY got my results back today-after a 3 day delay by the lab and realize after hearing "negative" every symptom I was convinced I was experiencing was gone. Okay, the mouth "lesion" I acquired wasn't in my head. It was actually caused by my INTERNET INDUCED OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE disorder that caused me to rinse my mouth out 15-20 times a day with Listerine.
The forehead rash, tiny red body spots,nightsweats,fatigue, muscle aches and every other "symptom" of HIV/AIDS was due to the STRESS from worry and fear.
I wish everyone here luck and good health.
Teak and Alien, I know you don't know me but your rational replies and posts are truly the only thing that kept me from committing myself. For that, I thank you. I hope you continue to help people like myself :)
