Still scared
Sorry to be posting again but I really need advice from you. Yes I know you have said 3 months is conclusive and that this is in my head. However since the whole ordeal began about 9 months ago I have been unwell. I had diarrhea shortly after the encounter lasting approximately 2 months (still have soft stool), sore throat, fever (occurring around 6 month mark), flu like symptoms, tiny red dots on my body,mild night sweats, nausea, ear infection (6 months), stomach infection (5 months)and joint muscle pain to the point that I could hardly walk or sit (this occurred at 7 months and is slowly getting better). I had a negative test at 14 weeks and was advised that it was conclusive. I did except the result at first but as time went on and the symptoms progressed I found myself wondering if 3 months would be conclusive. My exposure was prolonged unprotected sex (Broken condom) with a female of unknown status and penis was covered in blood. I really do appreciate your comments and support in helping me get through this.
