Well, that's messed up.

So you confirm , I had no exposure whatsoever and my symptoms are not related to HIV but probably a cold/flu, and that the rest is all anxiety and I do not need testing, nor will I get a bad surprise if I decide to do so in the future.

Thank you for "investigating", be well.

He says he's positive, like here we have them over there that like to create havoc to obtain a response. He'll get caught up in his untruths.

But he is Hiv positive now?

why would someone make that up, that's insane!

So hiv can no travel through pants and infect one even if pre-cum is present on both individuals and they rub each other together for a certain period of time?

Just trying to make sense out of what you say and people that claim otherwise (aka, POZ forum)

Posts like these fuel my anxiety.

No he tried to say he was exposed by kissing and you can see the backlash he received. You never had an exposure.
