Why Don't I have HIV?
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.

Who has $1200 a month for medicine?
I hope I test negative, there is no way I could ever afford to even get medication.

Where are you located? Yes a PA can start him on antibiotics and HAART. Usually they are started on Atripla one pill a day, plus they will start him on bactrim to prevent PCP. A months supply of Atripla is around 1200.00 and Bactrim is around 50 bucks. He still needs to see an ID doctor asap. I can tell you more when I see where you are located.
The medical system is a big fu#king joke. They like people sick so they can make more money. It's disgusting.
1200buck a month for medicine? What the hell? And thats only 1 part of the medicine right?
