Scared of HIV results.?

Postby xobunbeexo on Mon Dec 10, 2007 2:09 pm

How can I stay calm? I was involved in a acquaintance rape by a friend. Hardest thing to ever imagine of happening considering I had trust this friend and known for awhile. He has been reported to the police and so far has tested negative for HIV. I have also tested negative for every STD including normal HPV/pap smear screening.I am still in fact scared of HIV as far as the window period. So far, it's been 2 months for me and I tested atleast 3 times even though I have tested a bit too soon, I will be getting my 2 months results..well I should of have gotten them by now. It has been 3 days.. Doctor still has not called me back..Should I be concerned?I have so much support, but wow..the HIV scare is scaring me big time. I can imagine the men and women who go thru this everyday, every second worrying about their test results especially when it was NOT their fault to begin with.Is it the longer you wait for the test, it is a bad thing??

No news is good news but call your doctor's nurse to find out if the results are back.

You need to contact the nurse or doctor who gave you the HIV test and get your results. You could be worrying over nothing. It is better to know the results than to worry yourself to death questioning yourself. I was afraid when I took my test but, my results came back negative. Thank God for that! I hope you get your results and all is fine, but, if not it is better to know and begin treatment than to not get treatment. There are support groups out there. Good Luck and know that I will be praying for you if you want me to.

Honey, I know how you feel.. I have been through this before and I was upset, crying to myself, just really hurt and this had been going on for a month until I decided to go to the Doctor.. Next day, he told me the results, which we're negative.. I was so relieved! But I'ma go back within 6 months to be tested again.. I have no kids and I'm only 21 years old and I do not won't to live with HIV/Aids..

Usually a call from the Dr means that something is wrong, so you might consider youself blessed that you haven't heard anything from them. But I know that this is stressful so if it's time for your results to be in, give them a call. Below is a website that can offer you some support if you need it. I hope everything works out ok for you. Good Luck!!!!http://www.rainn.org/

I understand I was in your shoes few years ago.I was raped in a party and ever since..It never been the same I get tested yearly and have a wonderful family......all this to say that life is worth living no matter what happens.Just be strong and call your doctors office sometimes they are busy so give them a call if they have your results yet.I got tested 2 weeks ago and is HIV/STD negative.I sure will keep you in my prayers.Go to this website and read more about how ppl stories about how they got HIV.Is so sad and it inspires me to be strong no matter what.and you should too.and have faith that it will be okay.
