Ok... I've posted on here before asking the same questions that I'm about to ask but I REALLY REALLY need some reassurance so please bear with me.
I tested at my doctor's office 6 months after a possible exposure to HIV. (performed oral sex and yes, there was ejaculation in my mouth) My test came back negative. My doctor wants to see me to retest again at 9 and 12 months. You would think that I would be happy about testing negative at 6 months but I can't be b/c I keep thinking that maybe I'm a late seroconverter or maybe there was a lab error. There MUST be a reason why my doctor wants to test me 2 more times! I called his office and the secretary said that they test after 9 weeks of exposure and that's it. That makes me wonder. It really is highly unlikely I have HIV but I can't accept that. A few days ago, I finally got over a bad sinus infection and I keep thinking that I was seroconverting during that. Then I think that the test may have been wrong b/c maybe I have Hep C or cancer or something. Why can't I just let it go? My friends and family keep telling me that I'm fine and to get over it but I can't so I'm telling you guys hoping that you can reassure me as well. I must say, I have a bit of guilt b/c back when I performed oral sex on that guy, I had a boyfriend at the time and he still doesn't know. So please, everyone, give me some input and tell me what you think. Please!
