7 week test came back neg...but,

does anyone have any tips for me to calm down and relax for going thru an hiv window period of anxiety. i just got my blood drawn, rapid test at 7 weeks and came back as negative-thank you god. i'm still trying to shake the headaches ,slight musle aches, guilt- and trying to eat and go to sleep but i can't seem too. i have 5 more weeks until 3 months mark but still having a depressing stressful attitude. i want to be the fun outgoing Tony i used to be that i used to love...thank you all for your support and opinions....hope to hear from someone soon.

T.

Very pertinent advice from Teak, would like to add, refrain from unprotected sex with anyone, particularly with your long term committed partner, until you are out of this time and get your conclusive negative report.

Avoiding unprotected contacts during window period would be very helpful in controlling the spread of the disease. Good Luck
