horys, the only thing scarier then getting tested is not getting tested. Believe me when I tell you, it is 1000 times better to know then to not now. Not knowing means not getting treatment and not getting treatment for HIV leads to AIDS and you don't want that. You say you live in Canada, I think testing there is free and inonamous and the results will be quick and EZ...Get tested, If you do indeed have HIV one pill a day is all you need to keep it in check and to get on with your life. It is true that the symptoms can take 10 years to appear. Get tested, my friend..and let me hear how your doing. Either way, whether your test turns out positive or negative, you will be OK. I have a friend who has been HIV for 30 years! I have been positive for 15 I think...not even sure, so don't stress and get the test. A simple mouth swab is all it takes.Good Luck and keep me posted.

I am very sorry to hear about the molestation. That is really sad. This has happened to me about 4 times in Kenya. It is a terrible thing to go through.

You need to get tested and you also need counseling. You need to heal the wounds, get your self worth up and know your status. Canada takes care of its HIV/AIDS population very well. Take heart and hang in there. Do as Homerx says.

Homerx is recommending a swab in the mouth while I say go for a blood test. I am old fashioned.

BLOOD tests are best, and most accurate.

USUALLY, if you have HIV a test will show an accurate positive 3-6 months after exposure..That is IF you actually contracted HIV.

Because our immune system's are so great, it can take awhile for HIV to show symptoms.

Your best bet is to get a test, and it would be accurate!

Having HIV does not make you any less special, loveable, and wonderful.

HI,
SEVENDAYS AGO I MET WITH A GIRL IN NEPAL. AFTER 2 DAYS I FEEL FEVER.AND WEAKNESS IN MY BODY, BUT NATURALLY I AM SO STRONG. BUT AFTER THAT I TESTED IN 5TH DAY THAT I HAVE NO PROBLEM IN BLOOD IN WBC. INSURE THAT I USED CONDOM PROPERLY. URINE TEST ALSO GOOD. BUT NOW TILL I AM AFRAID THAT LITTLE FEBER ALWAYS WITH ME. AND TIRED NESS CAN NOT AVOID. SOME TIME FELL LITTLE BIT OF HEDECH.
I ASKED THE GIRL BY PHONE , SHE HAS NO HIV. SO NO IAM IN SCARED.
PLEASE REPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
THERE IS ONE THING THAT I MOLTED HER BREAST AND CHEW IT, AND THERE HAVE NO FLUED OUT FROM HER BREAST. PLEASE REPLY SOON.

Many of us have been molested by even our own brothers, our own uncles but that is not going to keep us from living our full potential.

Do as Homerx, Mson and Carifairi say: Be patient, wait, don't stress and in most likelihood, you will be fine. You live in Canada, a country with compassion and they help people with HIV/AIDS. If that should come down to you.

I am not one to give you advise on this disease because I don't have it. So, just a grandmother talking here.

Take care of yourself.

i had a talk with my mom about any blood tests we went through when we immigrated and she said yes. two times actually because my father had lost the results of the first. i asked her about HIV testing and she said yes. that was 9 or so years and i have not been sexually active in that period. so this may just be an allergic reaction.

i did however check the immigration laws for medical testing and they said HIV testing is done for people over 15 years of age and for children who have a parent test positive. so since my mother and father are negative...maybe they didn't test my blood....so this may mean i should be checked out.

my health has been fine through the years. nothing large...fractured a wrist, same one twice....recovered finely. my weight has been increasing every year and i have been playing football through high school...i have never experienced any weight loss as that is one of the symptoms...i am at about 265 pounds right now. i didn't get a flu shot...i never do...and i did go outside in the winter without a jacket a couple of times to get stuff from the car....maybe just some flu.

i really don't want to go through the testing experience and the waiting period...i guess i have to now thou. thanx for the responses.

Hope you find the courage to get tested for your own piece of mind. Always, Muthoni (Mson).

I am glad you used a condom properly. I don't think you have any reason to worry but if you are very concerned, wait three months and get tested for your piece of mind. During this time, keep away from risk activities. Please see a doctor is you can with the list of things you mentioned here. All the best, Always - Muthoni (Mson).
