Why Don't I have HIV?

[Miracle24]

My husband and I were married in Nov. of 2006.  We had unprotected sex in the months of Nov, Dec, Jan and Feb.  I had an HIV test in Jan.  It was Neg.  We decided to start using condoms to prevent pregnancy.  We did not have unprotected sex in the months of Feb, March, April, May and mid June.

In mid June, the condom broke and I rushed in to the clinic for a morning after pill.  I got on the nuva ring and thereafter had unprotecd sex approx 10 times through the end of June through July 10.  

My husband recently tested pos (on Friday the 13th, last week,)  

I tested neg again on Monday.  .  

Why don't I have hiv?

When can I find out?  I have a sore throat, a cough...a summer cold, I guess.  

Should I start treatment now to narrow the risk of infection or is it way too late for that?

If I test positive a few weeks from now, is it safe to assume that it was aquired between the two us after April? He got a tattoo in April.   I don't want to beleive that he had an affair, but I also don't want to stay with a man who would put our family in that kind of danger.  I just wish there were a way to know iwhen he got it.  I am angry.

Please stop sharing such misleading posts. This is not more than a cheap attempt of advertising by a quack. A confirmed positive person can not turn negative in two days, No Way, No How.

As of today, there is no cure for HIV is known to mankind, tomorrow may be, we know it, but not today. Virus once entered and infected a person, can not be eradicated and the person has to live with it for rest of his/her life.

The only significant success medical science achieved so far, is the development of ARV medication, which is a treatment, not cure but helping people to live with the disease in a better way

Still in denial I see.

I just read this entire thread, it's a compelling story. I'm so glad that you tested negative, and that you're not at risk anymore. I just had an HIV antibody test done recently, and I go in on the 14th of this month to get the results. My main concerns are that of being cheated on in the past by this one girl. I've been paranoid about many other things, as some people on this forum have had to deal with me about.  :)

Thanks for your valuable testimony.  People lie all the time when it comes to their sex life.  That's why nobody should assume anything about their partners, everyone should undergo HIV testing on a regular basis.

[BuggaBear]

WHOA!!!! Is all I can say.

Make sure you give thanks to God for sending those angels down to protect and watch over you.You didn't dodge a bullet,that was God right there over you.

Take care of you and that precious lil boy.

[uglyduck]

Oh man, what a story? Thanks GOD you did dodge the HIV bullet. As David20 said. God bless you Miracle 24. What happen to you was a miracle!!!

[anxiouswreck]

wow, congrats on the negative testing :) what a story, its so sad to see someone deceive a person like that. Im sorry you had to experience that. Look on the bright side, you are negative and there are plenty of other fish (straight and faithful too) out there :)

[David20]

God Bless You Miracle24. I wish you well in everything. Keep us post.

[regularjoey]

I was sure he was bisexual as soon as I heard the tattoo story... Hey, people lie all the time... I'm so happy that you're OK and finally moving on!  Good for you.

Hi Miracle, i posted the previous post BEFORE i read yours that he got exposed from one of his old BOYFRIENDS!  haha.....honest to God truth right there.  my suspicions of him being gay were confirmed after i posted that message to you.. all i had to do was scroll up and read.  I was right!  you take care, and if you need MAN advice.  You can always talk to me.  I AM ONE, FOR REAL! and i know a lot about them, as i deal with them on the relationship level myself. haha...later

[ParanoidaboutHiv]

Miracle24,  I am gay.  I know first hand, from being in online chat rooms, and in the community in general, that there are MANY MANY MANY men who live on the 'down low'.  Married men who have sex with men.   Gay.com  is chock full of these "married closeted bi" men.  Does your husband travel around for business often, or at all?  Does he go on trips out of town alone without you?  You're trying to figure out how he got HIV.  Perhaps there's more to this story.  I am glad to hear that your HIV results are negative.  You probably dodged the bullet!  It is probably too late to hire a private detective to follow him around (if he's been up to something, i'm sure he stopped doing it with his HIV+ diagnosis).  This 'down low' thing is a disturbing and still very little known about thing going on.  Not to gross any of you out, but i happened to chat with a married man who told me "i am a slut when i go out of town"  He had a webcam on in our chat on yahoo messenger, and allowed me to watch him have sex with a random man in his hotel room.  Trust me, i have FIRST HAND experience with the married gay thing.  I've seen that type before.  i just thought i'd give you some food for thought.  peace

[concernedcitizens1234]

I am new on here and I just read your whole thread and wow what an experience. I am glad you are still negative, and finally got the truth.

I was afraid it was something like that.  His story just didn't make sense.

I'm so thrilled for you.  You still have a bit of a ways to go before you are in the clear, but your results are very encouraging.  Best of luck to you in the future, and keep us posted.  Stay strong.

[Miracle24]

Hey there.  It has over a month and I just wanted to up date you.  I have been testing neg. as of 55 days post exposure.  I think I'm going to get out of this one alive.  That is, I married a liar and a cheater and it's all catching up with him now.  We are currently seperated and I don't feel bad for a second.  Turns out he WAS NEVER TESTED and knew he had been exposed by one of his old BOYFRIENDS.  He had TWO affairs while we were together and SHARED NEEDLES throughout his entire drug exsistence.  Boy was I the fool or what?  When you love someone...you just really want to trust them....dang  

Good news for him though: one month of atripla= cd4s went from 115 to 189 and VL went from 143,000 to 800.  Good for him!  He's gonna live a long life....Only the GOOD die young.  

Happy happy joy joy...I escaped hell and still have my beautiful baby boy.

If he can get in thursday that will be okay fine.

[Miracle24]

I joined the other aids site you told me about....My screen name is the same.  Seeing all those tcells rising was encouraging.  

Dr. Greenfield at ou med cannot get us in until Sept.  We have a special call in from the er doc so maybe they'll bump us up to tomorrow.

We found another doctor who can get him in this Thursday.  I just wish he could go today and start meds now!!!!  I knkow three days really isn't going to matter very much..but still.  He needs the meds now.  He's got this horrible thing happening to his skin.  Even on the bottoms of his feet.  It almost looks dry but they are more like little round cold sores all over his legs, trunk, arms an real patchy on his face and scalp.  I hope its not KS.  I'M SUCH A WORRY WART.

[Miracle24]

You guys have a great day..I"m off to teach the world to make music....xoxoxoxox

[Teak]

Oh, you need to educate yourself? Apparently they don't have a clue about HIV and OIs. Wow slow down. Unless you have been tested positive you don't know ****. Understand? Did you worry about your husband that he might die in a auto crash on the way to work every day? Did you worry about him dieing of heart failure everyday? You will never get anything accomplished by worrying. Relax. Phone the ASO in your area to get an appointment.

[Miracle24]

You know, calling your self bigdummy isn't very nice.  Nope! Not nice at all!  And you really appear to be a sweetie!  Thank you for your kindness.

bigsmartie!

[bigdummy]

Your a strong person.

Good Luck and God Bless

Hey Teak.  Long day at the ER.  

When you find out your husband could just up and die one day, it makes you want to STOP THE WORLD and have it revolve around HIM.  ER doctors and nurses disagree.  In fact, after about four hours in the ER, we were sent home, with nothing but a phone number to a specialist who may be able to get him in soon.  It is amazing how little is known by most health care workers about aids.  
I mentioned antibiotics and was laughed at "His lungs are fine!  We did an xray!  You want us to kill him with antibiotics?  You really need to educate yourself about this young lady...."  said the triage nurse (I wanted to attack her, but instead cried helplessly.)  I said, "But his viral load is fast and his immune system is nothing!  He needs to be on atripla NOW AND ANTIBIOTICS NOW!  We're not leaving here without it!!!!"  She asked where I'd gotten my information...."Teak says so!!!!"  

True story...We left with nothing but a phone number and a ton of inaccurate information.  From the way these assholes are talking, it may be two weeks before he is seen.  

We were talking about his advanced directive---i think its called---and I just kept imagining the worst.  My husband is going to die.  And I can't do anything about it.   All the information in the world isn't helping him.  I am helpless.I am so sad.  

All the people talked to us like we were idiots.  Explaining things they didn't understand.  I was hacking and coughing the entire time.  My fever has held at 99.8 for about four days now.  I'm sick. I know I'm sick with HIV. I'm scared.  And I've been strong for so many days now but I can't keep ignoring this pain.  I married the strongest man in the world because he made me feel safe and protected, he provided for us and took care of us better than anyone ever has.  And seeing him this weak is the scariest feeling I've ever felt.  

[bigdummy]

If I test pos. I want your email address too. I would love to meet you in person.

Will Atripla help rebuild his T cells? Yes but at a slow pace. It will never change his classification of having AIDS even if he goes above 500 on his CD4. He will see his VL go to undectable early. He won't be hospitalized for tests. All are blood tests and they will just take quite a few tubes of blood to run all the tests. I give anywhere from 11-18 vials of blood every three months.
