i mean should i be worried that i contracted something like "HIV" for her except HSV? i told you my symptoms, results, my current relationship and my lifestyle .. i'm afraid it may be its false negative or the test didn't detect the virus yet ??
alright i agree with you i posted in the right forum,
i have one thing, now HSV 1 is positive should i still be worried about HIV ?? i dont have to go throught the details again and to tell you my story , you already know . but i need a simple answer from an expert like you ?? i've never been a drug user and i know my self i dont deal with dirty things... so what's your advice since i'm with the same girl now.. should i worry about hiv ????
this forum is hiv specific. if you have questions regarding herpes...please post in the appropriate forum here at medhelp.
Dear Lizzie,
i got my results today for herpes HSV 1 positive and HSV 2 negative!! does this clear out all the doubts about my symptoms?? now all stds test came out after 21 days negative except HSV1 positive? so please if its HSV 1 why did i have all the mentioned symptoms and why i had it on my genital as well if its HSV 1??? please help me if you have any information about that?? Thanks
Thanks alot Lizzie .
well i guess i have to forget about taking another test, and i'll think positive of not being infected after today with the results i have ,never the less i can trust the girl am with now since i'm not also playing around.
Thanks again..
sorry for the inconvenience and i highly appreciate your feedback.
only if she is positive.
i have answered your questions about testing time MANY times.
so i still have only ONE chance of getting the virus through my girlfriend only IF she is positive, because my last exposures before my gf were 5 months ago. i'm i right in this point??
do you recommend doing another test ??
the symptoms that you describe have nothing to do with hiv.
a test done 3 months post your LAST unprotected intercourse will give you a reliable and conclusive result.
Dear Lizzie,,,, i appreciate your kind replay but i have certain issues here i need you to help me out with them,,,,
i know that and this will never happen, i dont care about sex as much as i used to , and
actually i dont think i would be able to take anymore tests cause my anxiety got the best of me.
the issues are as the following ..
exposure means any possible way to contract the virus right??? so having symptoms
doesn't mean exposure, but it means that i contracted something " throught exposure" right???
my last question is would my fist exposure with my girfriend 3 months ago make it accurate for the test however i got my first symptoms 3 weeks ago ,,
the picture for me now is my test has nothing to do with my symptoms or my first exposure and that really freaks me out cause i still have hard nodes in my groin but not painfull as before,,,
should i make another test or should i take the results as they are ,,,,
i told you my first exposure with ONLY my girlfriend was 3 months ago and the symptoms 3 weeks ago test results today are negative???? any help ??
it is HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHLY unlikely that your test result will change in the next couple of weeks.
test at 3 months for that conclusive result...expect a negative ! !
once again:
UNTIL you are in a monogamous relationship where both of you have tested...ALWAYS use condoms for penetrative vaginal / anal penetration. sex lasts a few minutes...HIV LASTS A LIFETIME ! ! ! ! !
a two and a half month negative result is very unlikely to change. But the 3 month mark is the golden rule for a conclusive result. Take the test and get it over with. Hopefully, it'll be ok.
And do i have to do any test again since you told me before 3 months post LAST exposure?? i'm confuses now?
HELLO GUYS...
i got the results today for syphilis again and HIV 1 EIA, HIV 2 EIA and all are negative thank god, but the hsv i'll take the results in two days.
i'm just wondering how accurate are they for HIV EIA tests???
my last encounters in the past 6 months were as the following:
in MARCH i had two, one of them was protected, that means approximately 5 months before the test was made,
in MAY 27th was my first exposure with my recent girlfriend that means 2 months and a half before the test was mad,
now my first symptom as i mentioned before appeared in 9th of august that means after about two months and a half after my first encounter with my girlfriend,
the test was made in the middle of august but my first encounter i told you was in may, and by the way all the symptoms gone except the glands of my groin i can still feel them hard but not painfull and swollen like before.
You don,t need to be confused anymore just wait for those test results to come back in 15 days and they will provide you with all the answers you seek.Good Luck.
actually i did post in both HIV prevention and STD as well, but i didnt get any response yet. i'm so confused thats why i posted also in HIV prevention.
Post your question in the STD forum and get there advice,they respond to concerns like yours all the time.
Thank you for your kind help i really appreciate it .
hi getitright77, actually my friend i mentioned that already , just read my post carfully and you'll find out that i said that i tested and goin to take my results in 15 days,
thanks anyway
Sorry,you did say in your Original Post that you have been tested for hiv 1 and 2,just be patient and wait for your results.Symptoms don,t diagnose hiv a test taken at 3 months post your last unprotected exposure does.All the best
NO
swollen lymph nodes due to ars are not localized to one area...they are generalized. they are not painful.
the sores have nothing to do with hiv.
you're absolutely right, but i have one more question. are these symptoms that i described to you "itching,pain,redness sores, swollen glands in the groin" related to any of hiv symptoms i mean early symtoms? and what is the possibility ...
Thanks Again.
Then just wait for your results and from now on always use protection,you should have said that in the first place that you have already tested for hiv,we aren,t mind readers here.
How much more specific do you want someone to be-You had UNPROTECTED SEX MANY TIMES,you need to test for hiv.What are you waiting for?
hi getitright77,, well i tested already but i have no results by far. but i'm being so confused about it, and as i know Genital Herpes causes these symptoms but i dont have a clue, on the other hand my test as a procedure was included hiv test but still i'm being scared ...
