but i think I've got a case of ringworm....it looks just like the pictures online
never had it before. i wont know my hiv status for 2 weeks.
it started with a nail fungus from My acrylic nails that i did not take care of....then i notice these scaly patches on my skin
as of lately, ive been more self conscious about cleanliness, maybe a little obsessive and now i end up With ringworm. my bf had a bad case of athletes foot and he stays over often. maybe i caught his fungus. highly doubtful though.
back in The day i would work out and spend the rest of my day in my sweaty gym clothes, reuse damp towels and this never happened to me
this is why i think i have hiv. seems like My immune system isnt functioning properly. also from what ive read, ringworm is very hard to eradicate if you have hiv.
im trying to be as clean As possible, and im even washing with antifungal shampoos.
when will this ever end ? or maybe the stress is making me create my own problems, i wish i could let me self be at peace until the results come in, instead of trying to find things wrong With me.

bebe,it will end when you stop obsessing over your health, that will be up to you and no one else. sometimes you have to let go what you cannot control and just let things happen and deal with it when they happen instead of trying to deal with it before it will happen if that makes any sense.
anyway good luck with the test and don't worry about it before you find out the results.
no matter how much you worry, it won't change what the results will be.
and no matter what the results are, you will be fine.

i hate to say this but this test might make or break me
i just hope it's me creating these symptoms and nothing else.
im afraid to go in for the results....if They are pos i wont know how to cope. i could never tell my parents and i would feel so afraid for my bf if i gave it to him unknowingly.
and i just know that since i havent been with many people that i could probably narrow it down, and if he lied to me,....gosh. well im trying my best not to let this ruin my holiday. it's really a shame if i let it. im just so scared.
you are looking waaay tooo far ahead...
get to the first step,that is finding out your results..
then react accordingly,building up a senero in your mind
that could or could not ever happen is nothing but a waste of effort and time.
trust me i have it and there are many other things that could of happened to me that
are alot worse,i'm not trying to down play it,i'm just putting it into perspective.
don't let the fear ruin yourself..
good luck and let us know your results..
i should get my results this week. will the doc be able to give me the Results on the phone? as u can imagine, my anxiety level is really high, and i wanted to express concern To my bf that i got tested, but i just couldnt get The words out. he would have thought i was crazy or being paranoid like usual. i never thought i would be getting tested for this disease. i feel embarssed and ashamed. if i would have used condoms 100 percent of the time, i wouldnt be in this predictement or at least diagnosing every symptom. i hope i get a second chance to play it smarter.
