I had sexual intercourse about 3 months
ago with a guy who I think might be HIV
postive.Im not for sure if he is or not I
asked him and he said no but he lies about
things.I recently found out that he did
heavy drugs. I've been having HIV symptoms
like headaches,swollen lymph nodes and
nausea.My question is if I got the blood
work done 2 weeks from now would it show
up postive if I did have HIV? I know that
sometimes it takes anywhere from 6
months-1 year to show up. Should I get it
done anyway in 2 weeks or wait?

yes, do it now. 3 months is about the
right amount of time. Listen, if it comes
back positive for HIV I want you to remain
calm. It doesn't mean you are going to
die. I have had friends with HIV who have
been positive for over 30 years so don't
panic if you are positive. I have had AIDS
for many years and am doing great, no
worries. Please let me know how it goes.
Good Luck. I will be thinking of you.

Thank you,I am praying I hope I don't
espically since I don't have medical
insurance and I know medication for HIV
can get expensive.It would just ruin my
life.But it is the price I would have to
pay for my dumb actions.

where do you live? lots of places have
free doc and meds for HIV/AIDS ...it will
be OK, my friend...take a deep breath and
try to put it out of your mind until you
can get tested...you are more than likely
fine.
