[helpmeifyoucan89]

Hello ,I had high risk almost 5 months ago ,anal sex with guy who later told me he is positive ,the sex was brief less than 2 minutes ,because I was drunk and not hard. He texted me 2 weeks later saying he is positive ,I FREAKED OUT and had around 15 HIV tests until this moment ,all were DUO and rapid tests and come back negative, but I was suffering with so many symptoms and still suffering ,doctors don't know what is wrong with me. My last test were DUO on 16th week and rapid on 18 week ,I am anxious about all 6 months thing and I think I will test positive next time , I have couple of abcesses in the last weeks which got me really worried and I was taking antibiotics ,but they are still not healed. I am REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY  worried and traumatized mentally after this thing ,please good people advise me what to do and where to turn ,how to get out from this thing mentally ,the thought of HIV is always alwayas always there , what are the chances I test positve after my tests ? Should I go for RNA test ,I live in poor country and here RNA is not avaliable ,only DUO is available and rapid tests. Please advice me
SCARED ANXIOUS TOTALLY DEPRESSED AND HOPELESS GUY

You've more than conclusively tested negative. If your symptoms were in any way related to HIV, you would've already tested positive with so many tests.

This amount of testing is not normal and is clearly a mental issue and not an HIV issue. Your next step needs to be seeking out a therapist with whom to discuss these concerns. Until you receive therapy, I'm sure your psychosomatic symptoms will continue to bother you. The sooner you get in to see a therapist, the sooner you will stop feeling this way.

Can someone else comment about 6 months testing ? Is it necessary in my case ?

Damn i felt sad after reading this post. You should see a therapist first. Testing negative post 90 days is conclusive. Youre hiv negative. After reading this im sure you ll test gain at the 6th month. You ll test negative in that too.


Remember the term high risk is relative. Compared to other forms of transmission , the risk in anal sex is COMPARITIVELY MORE. Its just around 1% . 1 in 72 i think.
There was no ejaculation either so youre chances of getting hiv get lowered. Dont worry. You ll test negative in the 6 th month , or pcr or what ever test you take.
