Am I free of the fears now ?


Teak and everyone,

I did a scare few months ago, 85 days to be exact. I am tested -ve at 47 and 85 days.
there is so much goin on with window period. co-infection, immune system.

I had a minor surgery (for the trauma I suffered from a highway accident two week post exposure)
been on antibiotics + pain medication+ prozac

can I consider this 85 day -ve as conclusive?  

  Exposure / Risk : Single time vaginal exposure with a CSW
            Used double condom, never checked if there is any leak/brake,
            The second condom, was not placed propery (didn't clear the air with thumb and fore finger)
            (Even if it broke, I wouldn't have known, as I was totally drunk and ignorant )

i wouldnt be in such a hurry to stop the prozac.  sometimes it takes a little while for ppl to "really" accept their status.  i dont mean that in a negative way...lol...it is just that they have spent soooooo much time trying to deal with this that even though they get the negative result...it takes time.

and hey...a little "happy pill" never hurt anyone :)  i think the world would be a better place if we were ALL on antidepressants...hehe

  Will you test once more or leave things as is? You know the idea of co-infection really only comes into play in a needle works exposure, unprotected vaginal where menstral blood is present -or- unprotected anal intercourse exposure for the most point, really. The chances of aquiring this from a one time incidence of protected vaginal intercourse seems non-exsistant to me. How are you recovering from the car accident? I would suggest you try pilates for at least three months, it's great for rehabilitation, it was initially designed wounded soldiers in Germany by Joseph Pilates-it re-alignes everything back into order. Don't beat yourself up anymore man...

alley-z,

Thanks Teak/Chapeau/L-L

  I agree I'm conclusively neg, so I wouldn't get tested again....

  in actual there was more pain from the accident, but that never was a concern while I was lying in the hospital bed, The HIV- Fear took over my mind.

Thanks for asking m8, Now there are few scars on the face, but life is back to normal....
