[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few years ago after the birth of my first son I watched a documentary about HIV and developed a huge sudden fear I had contracted it years ago, passed it to my newborn, etc ...even emailed my OB asking if I’ve been tested.

I’m on Zoloft now for anxiety lol. [/quote]
Yes, but did you have unprotected sex? I did and I can't believe I was so fcking stupid. I was going through some stuff and it turned out that guy was cheating on his gf with me - now I have a great life, am in therapy for my self-esteem, have a wonderful boyfriend. I'm terrified I caught HIV from this man (who appears to be doing fine, is getting married to someone else and has literally no indication of having late-stage HIV) and I'm going to lose everything I've worked for in the last five years. [/quote]

Yes I did with several men. [/quote]
I just can't believe I was so stupid. this man was not worth it and now my anxiety is making me cry on Christmas. I will go get a test when I get back to DC (one of those gum swabs you can take at home) but the anxiety is so bad right now. [/quote]

Your anxiety is the issue. It's actually quite difficult to get HIV through sex. I had unprotected sex with at least 50 women during my 20s (long story) and I caught chlamydia twice and trich once. Never got HIV or anything worse, and I was absolutely reckless. I didn't do any (intravenous) drugs, and didn't do anal sex, which are the two main way men get it. So it's unlikely the guy you slept with it got it, and gave it to you in those two short trysts.[/quote]
I feel pretty confident that the guy I am worried about contracting it from did anal, with other women. I know it is difficult to spread in heterosexual contact but he was such a skeaze. [/quote]
