pebble agony auntCongratulations :)

And at least a good thing has come of this horrible scare, you know you won't risk it ever again. I'm really happy for you, I can't even imagine how horrid that wait must have been. Call it an experience, you're better off in the long run because this happened. Time to relax, move on and smile :)

Yaaaaa!!!!! Take care of yourself from now on...you are worth it. My suggestions (and something I do)...before you become sexually active again, ask your new partner to get an STI (STD) test. You have every right to keep yourself safe. If he isn't willing to do this then he doesn't deserve you!

Baby gurl-

Did you use condoms with him? If you practiced safe sex you are at a better chance to be alright in the end. Stay hopeful and do not worry until you know what the results are. Life's too short to worry about the what-ifs.

Roxy1989 agony auntSweeti, I know you are scared, but like most of them said, we cant take your fear away, we can only be there for you and give you some sort of support, it's a 50/50 situation, try not to stress over it, because you can't change the result anyway.. just come to you inner peace, pray, get some sleep and have a nice relaxing bath.. even if you do have it, these days people live a long time with it. I know someone who has had HIV for 20 years.

A reader, anonymous, writes (23 April 2009):

at the moment you are in a strange state - (a bit like schrodingers cat) you have a chance of having it and a chance of not - so, assuming an equal chance for each at the same time, you exist in some kind of maybe world. (ok thats a little abstract, but hopefully you get my drift)

the problem is today you don't know. tomorrow you will and if its positive you will work and deal with it. If not then you will also deak with it. So the good news is today is the last day of uncertainty and the maybe world. Tomorrow you can turn the page on the uncertainty and move forward in which ever path it takes you.

good luck and let us know how you get on.

As ladelund said, we can't take the fear away. We can only hope that you haven't got it. If you used protection you're at a lower risk. However if you didn't, not even for one time, you have a maximum risk of getting it. Please try to think optimistically, until you get the results. Make sure you are with someone you trust when you share the news, how ever the outcome. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you. Best of luck .x

Just try to calm down. Stupid thing to say I know, but the result will either be positive or negative and worry will not affect it either way. With any luck, he contracted HIV after he was with you. Or, if you used condoms, oral sex does not always transfer the disease, you gotta have like a cold sore in your mouth or something for that to happen.

Just try to remain hopeful.. And talk to someone about it.

If the sex you had was unprotected, then you're right to be scared - very scared indeed. It's at times like these that you discover a belief in God so, just keep praying like crazy - nothing else to advise here, sorry.

There isn't anything I can say that will take the fear away. I am praying for you. If you do test positive there is a lot of help and support out there. Have you thought about contacting your local AIDS/HIV organization to talk to them right now about your fears? They have trained people there that can help and suppport you as you go through this so that you won't feel alone. Do you have any friends or family members that you can confide in and that will be a positive support. You need to reach out to others right now...you don't need to go through this alone. All the best.
