I dont know why im so obsessed with this. I was tested last week because i am pregnant. My DR kind of lied and told me it was mandatory and i found out it is not. I always told myself i wouldnt get a HIV test, because im one of them people that worry constantly. This last week has been nothing but hell for me. I cant sleep. Im afraid im going to be told i have hiv. I have had sexual intercourse with only 4 men in my life. I have been with my current BF for 8 1/2 years. If i were to contact the virus would i have had symptoms yrs ago? I know my current bf is clean and i feel as i am too, but like they say you will never know. So being that i have been only involved with him for the last 8 yrs do you think i would have already had symptoms? This waiting is killing me!!! I hate it!!! I have turned in to a totally different person over this last week and i feel for EVERYONE going through this and who have the VIRUS.

Chill. You will be fine. It always sucks to wait for results.

I really think HIV-phobia is its own disease...
its a bit like hypochondria, but not;) Relax, we all know what it feels like to wait. It seems....oh next to impossible you wouldnt know after 8years. Dont worry :wave:

I have slept with at least 80 men or more in my lifetime, and I dont' have HIV..relax...my gosh 4 men, your still a virgin..lol

I know exactly how you feel. I'm 5 months pregnant and got the HIV test done at my first pre-natal appt. They told me it wasn't mandatory, but it WAS mandatory for them to make me aware that they do the testing. She kinda just said "would you like to have it done." I freaked and said "well..okay if I look like a have HIV" Totally caught me off guard. I'm one of those people that if I have something, i'd rather not know. Because if i know, i get the feeling i'm going to be thinking about it all the time and there goes my life. But my cousin actually has Aids and he is a gay man. He's had it for about 7 years now and has not stopped living life. He's very lucky to have a partner who accepts him and loves him despite this horrible disease. But I know the waiting sucks...but just think of how much better your gonna feel when those results come back and say you are clean. Then you can breathe a deep relaxing breath of fresh air and just smile. I know I did. I had my share of unprotected partners and after the test I came home and cried...I'm okay and I"m sure you are too. Try not to get yourself worked up over it because your gonna make yourself sick. Eventually you'll probably start thinking your having all these symptoms when you really don't. The mind is a funny thing.
