I found a private lab and had to pay quite a bit but should have my results tomorrow or the next day. The counselor was really nice and when I told him my reasoning for being tested (tattoos and a wierd dentist appt) he almost laughed and told me that I really had nothing to worry about and this would just be for my piece of mind. I am praying that he is right.

The rational side of me is saying I'm fine but the irrational side is still freaking out.

I will let you know when I get my results.

good luck...im sure you wont need it...I am too going to get tested...one time exposure giving oral sex to a girl (unprotected) and vaginal fingering....who i later found out has herpes. Anyways...I normally wouldnt worry about it...but my health has deteriorated since...bacterial pneumonia...andnow chronic sinus infections that arent responding to treatment...with a crackling sound of phlegm in my lungs constantly (TB?). Anyways...I wanted to know how u set up this counselor?? How much was it....and did he calm you down before going in...cause there are times in the day im freaking out.


Thanks

Hi, I went online and looked for testing sites. I can't post the website because it is a violation. The counselor talked to me and directed me to the nearest site to me. I had to pay $99.00 and you get the results the next day.

He made me feel much better just talking to him but of course now my mind is going about a million miles a minute. I'm so scared and I've had many people tell me that it is for nothing. I basically had no risk of exposure but I can't get passed the what if. There have never been any cases from tattoos but there was the ones from the dentist and I did not see him open anything and the office just wasn't as clean as I thought it should be (didn't really notice this until it was to late). Anyway, the counselor still thought I was testing just for peace of mind.

I'm sure if you do a search you can find the same kind of info. Good luck!!

Hi Sodepressed! I'm really proud of you. You had the courage to go get tested! :) I will pray for you! I'm pretty sure that your result will come back negative!!! :) I'm really really worried myself. I don't want to wait until Friday!!!! I can't stop thinking about death. I've been thinking about how I took life for granted and how I should have been nicer to people. I've been really trying so hard not to cry. I'm really scared. Well, I just wanted to wish you luck and i'm sure everything will turn out fine. :angel:
