Finally after about a month of waiting and nerve recking times I had I finally on this day got my results back. The out come was my colestoral (most likly not spelled right) is 222 and normal to avg is 200 and below so im fine thier but I need to start cutting back on some things... livers fine xyz... and my hiv status is -. IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW AT MY JOB I JUST WANNA THROW A PARTY!!!!!!!! Now its one thing to hope u didnt sleep with some1 who u dont know any sexual history about but its another to find out that you did sleep with a + person like myself and not know I did till about 2 years later. I know now that if some1 i knew didnt tell me she has hiv then or aids now that I wouldnt of check myself out that id be wondering prolly all my life if I was hiv+ or not. The chance I took is not worth my life!!!! And the % of me not contracting it when she was hiv+ is so small... this really is a wake up call! I really feel sorry for her but at the same time she eaighter knew she had it or didnt know.. eather way its always great to know ur status as I do. I will always be apart of this board because at the time I felt i needed to talk, u guys were here for the most part. Thier were some instances where questions werent getting answered but in the most part I felt calmer then if i wasnt able to talk! Thank you all for ur questions comments and concerns. Even to the ones I havent spoken too... most of the questions u asked i didnt think of and I read as much of ur convos as I even typed my own. If thiers anyone out thier that needs some1 to talk to im here or ill just butt in on a convo lol but always believe in god as I did and he will walk you through it!!!!!!!!!!

GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!

Oh good for you!! Im so happy for you!!! I cant wait untill i get mine to know for SURE that im clean! I havent slept with many people only 4 in my life, and i have been with my current for almost 9 yrs (april) I had to get the test because i am pregnant. I just feeel sooo miserable, scared and alone waiting on these results. Im already thinking of my future and waht i would actually do if i was told im positive! I think to myself. OMG i couldnt tell anyone im
hiv+ If i was. I dont know what i would really do in that situation, but i hope i dont have to think about it any firther once i finally get THE RESULTS. I know im going to be extra careful if i am not and Love my life more then i have ever did before. Good to hear your clean, and so happy!!! Good luck with everything else :)

just out of curiosity how many times would you guess that you had sex with this person unprotected?

I am just adding some info to HIV testing, from personal experience!! My son (22) was very sick & because they couldn't quite pin it down, the doc ran an HIV test. We live in the burbs and it was a satellite clinic and I'm sure they may, at max, run 1 - 2 HIV tests/yr. The first one came back positive & the western blot came out inconclusive. Needless to say we were devastated. But deep in my heart I just couldn't believe it. It just didn't make any sense. So I went online & did some research. JUST THE WAY A BLOOD SAMPLE IS DRAWN & HANDLED CAN AFFECT THE OUTCOME!!!! ALSO JUST HAVING A FEVER CAN SKEW THE RESULTS!! (Which he had) Since this particular clinic sledom drew these I wanted him to go to a large hosp. in town that knew all the protocol & ran more tests. God told me he was NOT positive, so we waited 6 mos. & had the tests rerun. NEGATIVE!! All that stress for nothing! So anyone thinking of being tested - go somewhere they are very experienced in the procedure and that you are not sick, if possible. It's a very scary experience, but with a happy ending. Hope this can help someone else!
