anxiety
I had an elisa done on the 19 of December and since then have been having panic attacks. My last exposure was in early to mid-August by vaginal sex. Should I feel this test is conclusive? How do you guys cope with stress? I've never had this much stress in my life before.
Sorry Vance2335. I thank you all for the help and kind words. I would select a best answer, but a lot of your answers are great.
From the time the doc told me that till present day I've had stomach pains headaches mental breakdowns etc
I think I will. The psychological damage that my doctors words have caused is so great that not even anti anxiety medications help
My doctor and the nurses stress me out because they say it can take up to 6 months
your test PROVES...without a doubt...that you DONT have hiv.
if you are having health concerns, see your dr...stay off the internet and stop trying to self diagnose yourself.
hiv is not your problem ! ! !

That's not true,I went to high school with a chronic IV drug user and she tested positive 3 weeks after her exposure with a 1st generation HIV test back in 1990.Delayed seroconversion is just a myth.An impaired immune system will still produce detectable antibodies and p24 antigen has got nothing to do with delayed antibody production.Please give the correct information if you are going to provide people with advice.
i use to drink it out and research about HIV listen a person who has very impaired immune system will only take 6 months in other word if your body has no developed detectable amounts of antibodies then you are more likely to die of the common cold ok so don t worry. take for example my situation i had protected anal sex with a CSW i really don t think it was anal because i did not feel a thing however i tested out to 12 weeks and it was all negative however when i got my 12 week test i did not see the lab guy open the syringe in front of me and now i feel that i want to repeat the whole 12 weeks again so your situation is better than mine and even when you get married ask your husband to get tested because most people don t know they have HIV best ok luck you are safe god bless you
Don't beat yourself up. You are human. Forgive yourself if u haven't already. And maybe the worry will leave !!!!! All the best!
Is it possible you feel guilty and have managed to create a situation of fear in your mind to punish yourself?! Listen to rain lover. Relax and enjoy life it's probably 30 times more likely u could get hit by lightning but do you worry about that ? Just saying. I'm not a dr. But I hav worried a lot in my life and a lot of the things we worry about don't happen but we can cripple ourselves with fear. Relax b happy If u were tested past three months try to believe and trust result. I hope you take my words as Simone who understands worry and is trying to help?!!
You're a great person for reassuring people. I'm a very anxious person in general and this scare is getting the better of me. This anxiety has been debilitating...I haven't gone to work or school in over a week. All of the counselors I have talked to say that they can't help me with this problem. I've become slightly addicted to the hotlines though, because in my bouts of sadness they help me...as you are right now. They have also said that there may be some other underlying issue that is making me feel this way. However, I haven't identified it yet:/.
Please,it's time to relax because your negative test is fully conclusive,why would you think it wasn't.You have absolutely no reason to stress or be anxious.Is it because you think you need to test out to 6 Months? Well if that's the reason for your anxiety,your wrong.There is no such window period as 6 Months anymore,it's 3 Months and has been since 2004.You don't have HIV and you need to accept this fact.Yes,you have had a scare but there is no need to continue with the worry and panic.The crying and sleepless nights are not doing you any good and it is time to seek some therapy to manage this problem.Once again,you don't have HIV.
Sorry, I'm a female. Haven't updated my profile. But thanks for the reassurance.:)

I've been crying every single night and am unable to shake this stress off
