re: possible exposure to hiv

I was wondering what your thoughts were with the take home hiv test,,,it says it is like 99% acurate,,are they trust worthy....I really dont want to go through the dr s or the wait time,,,if it wasnt for reading the internet post from someone who had the same situation as me and turned out positive, I dont think I would be so worried....Do you know the % of people in there 30's getting shingles and not having hiv..I have read that it is very common in children and elderly, but not my age bracket unless hiv or other serious immune prob....thanks for your time...

"Do you know the % of people in there 30's getting shingles and not having hiv" Don't try to find things that will convince you that you have HIV, you can never use symptoms. And we see all the time people posting about shingles and they never even had a risk.

What was your "risk"
