Help, Still a Little Worried
Posted: 06-22-06 07:17am

I have a question, I currently live in japan, the hiv/aids is very low here. 9,000 to 12,000 people have hiv/aids out of 175 million people. Well I met this japanese girl we have protected sex, we had have sex for 5 days straight. I knew her for awhile before we had sex. But I wanted to cum inside of her, so before I cum I pulled off the condom and put it in her for at leact 30 secs then I got up pee and wash my dick. Well I had no worries what so ever, I know her sexual past, she only have unprotected sex 1 time for only 2mins and that was 2 months before she met me. Then a few days later I got a rash or at least I thought it was, my skin color is brown and the spot was dark brown. Well a week later I met my gf we had sex on the first date. I didnt have a condom and I wanted to use a condom but she didnt want too she said she was clean and we had sex. But then you know I started to worry a little about the spot on my leg I thought it was a ringworm because another spot showed spot showed up. I went to medical and they said it was a infection, I most likely got it from the military ship I was on. The ship I was stationed on is very very old and it is dirty. I met the japanese women in person a few days after I got off the ship so that made sense. Well 6 wks after I met japanese girl I got a hiv check-up and other disease. From my knowledge they all came back negative if they came back positive the military would kick me out, so I began to move on with my life with my new gf. Well I was sent back to the ship and I cussed at someone who outranked me and I got in trouble. People labled me as a angry man, I was messed with and yelled at alot and I had to do a lot of stupid and morale breaking things. Well I fell into deep depression quickly, then one day I was watching the news on the ship and they were talking about hiv in africa. Suddenly my mind focused on that and I became paranoid and I started adding up events in my life that happen and started to make up my own symptnoms. I became worried and I was still stuck on the ship with lack of sleep and mustering 5 times a day. So I just got more and more in depressed. Well I couldnt get my mind off of my worries. I told my gf to get a checkup so 11weeks after she met me got a checkup it came back negative. I was relxed but then I kept on reading and reading about hiv online and it started to impair my judgment. Usually I get short pain in my legs because of old injuires. As I was running up some long stairs I might have pulled a muscle a little. So I went to my bed and laydown and then I remember muscle acnes was a sign, so I had a major anxiety attack like I never had before. I wanted to kill myself, I felt so much pain inside and no one knew what I was going through. My family hasnt talked to me in long time I live far far away from them. So I got up and talked to my friend and he calm me down, I really wanted to die. Well finally I got off the ship and I was able to walk on land after 6 to 7 weeks. After I had that attack my muscles started to hurt. But then I went to medical and talked to the doctor he told me I was ok. The likely hood was very slim to none because of where I am at and my exposure time. Well it calm me down a little but I was still depressed and having problems in my head. Well as time more on I was afraid to move on with my life. I was afraid to step forward in my career because if I am infected I am get kicked out of the military and I have no life after that and my family will not accept me so death would be my only option. But I kept my mind off of it and things started to go away, I still felt like I couldnt do anything in my life. I did feel fatigue but that was all in my head because when I ran I ran so fast that I broke my record and that was the first time that ever happened. I then started to notice it is all in my head. I still got anxiety attacks time to time, but I usually push it out of my head. I never got fatigued, my sicknesses were all natural. Well I have asthma and I was going running one time and I tried a new way to inhale my asthma medicine and after that I got a liltte dry throat because I inhaled it when I sprayed it. I did have a anxiety attack and it only seemed worst, my head was still messed up. Well there was a guy in my unit that was sick, I was always next to him and I really got a soar throat so I new it wasnt a soar throat. Well that sickness I got from him went away after taking medicine. So I new it was all in my head and a certain way that I swallow that gives me this reaction. Now 6months have passed and I should get a check to finalize my fear. But I am to afraid because I dont want to get kicked out of the military I have no where to go or live after that. But I am still dating my gf. So I never got a 6month checkup, my gf and I was talking about getting married, but she has to get a medical checkup, so 8months after we met she she got another hiv- checkup and she came back negative. Now we have unprotected sex every weekend for at least 4 times for 8months, except the time when I was gone for 6 weeks and another 2 weeks when I went home. I pull out most of the time before I cum. But I always have precum. But I am still having anxiety attacks but very very minor than before. I am a lot cool headed now. But I still wonder, is it possible after 8months of unprotected sex with the same person every weekend she can still be hiv negative and I still can be hiv pos? I have been faithful to her, it is just woman I had sex with a week before her. But my worries are going away and I am getting out of depression. Everytime I go to the gym or do something that pushes me forward in life. I always feel alot better. I didnt take any medication for depression, I am just getting through it my own way. But to ease my mind I am asking this question. I do have to get the checkup soon because it is going to be a one year mark soon. Thank all of you for your help. I never really had any synptnoms it is more of a guilt trip and depression that made me realize I could have made a big mistake.

Anyway its a long story. However, I would address your depression and your present situations.

1. Depression is something that easily catches up with risk behavior individuals. And it doesnt go away unless you are tested and get your thoughts clear.
2. Being trying to settle your life with a new gf, its more responsible to get yourself checked, and not pass the infection to others knowingly or unknowingly.
2. Getting your gf tested will in no way tell your status.

So the most important thing is that you should get tested, and once found negative, you are negative and dont get your depression to overrule you

hi, thank you for your reply. Yes it is a long story and a lot of confusing I am sure.

Well the depression started when I got in trouble, the military is strict when it comes to rank, well I yelled at someone that outranked me. I was deeply and severly punished for my actions. What I did caused me to be really depressed and I look at things I did a long time ago and I began to worry. I have lack of sleep, bad knees and constantly being yelled at for a long time, that is why they did to me it is more than that but I cant state the rest. I was never a risk behavior person, I always use condom. This was the first time I took a chance before, we have protected sex but before I cum I pulled off condom put it in her. It was really no more than 30secs. I did get tested 6 to 7 weeks after this occurred I was negative so it was all cool, it takes a month for me to get results back so more like 11wks. I met my gf my gf is a risk person so I had her get a checkup and she was negative/ my gf and I have unprotected sex 4 times every weekend. She also got a checkup 8months after we first met. I didnt know it could take as long as 3months to test positive. So I was just wondered what was the odds. Now the girl which I had a encounter with. She has unproteced sex one time. I do know her she tells me everytime for months and months she is clean. But depression can really mess up your head. Also hiv is very very small in japan. My gf tells me not to worry and so does my doctor and many friends. But I just think of my odds so I post it hear to get someone point of view as well. I was just asking because I got a checkup at and she got 2 checkup, I got my at 6wks, she got her 11weeks and then 8months, I was just wondering should I be concerned or should I not worry? Everyone else tells me not to worry. I am not the type of person to take risks so I worried about this because I am new at sex. I still talk to the woman I messed with before, she stills tells me not to worry either we are friends. So should I be worried? I dont worry so I am just asking should I be worried? I hate to ruin my life like that for a 30sec mistake. Even when I was a kid I worried so I stop having sex for almost 5yrs.
