I finally tested today. There is anxiety with it but this way I will know for sure. Apart from that I hope and pray for a good outcome. If it is not i brought it on myself and don''t know how i will tell my partner. I have been living with the thought of becoming infected with HIV for years, and yet any number of actions would have led me to becoming infected. If this outcome goes well, I will seek counseling to help me past this. If it does go well I know now for sure that if it is negative, then negative it is and I am not infected.
You didn't have an exposure and didn't need testing.
Well I finally got up the nerve to test today, thru an online site. Got to the test center and my paperwork was not there. Failed to bring a the confirmation request with me and did not have the online site's number. I have the information now, but don't know if i will be able go back a second time to try and test. any thoughts?
my partner has had swollen nodes in one armpit for some time now. the doctor prescribed antibiotics but they came back. my partner even had some runny clear fluid from behind the ear. Can't bring myself to tell them, and afraid to test, have recurring mouth sores, burning mouth, and loosing the taste sweets in my mouth. I can't let it go, I can't tell, and i can't test. I am just weak right now and tired.
