First off, this is for people diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, I feel for you. I used to kinda laugh and joke about it when i was younger....but it is no joke. I have been with the same woman for about 2 1/2 years now and we are getting married in July. I started getting little rashes that take forever to go away and faded to a brownish color on my leg stomach and arm. I started researching on the internet about symptoms (which was dumb) and it basiacally convinced me that I HIV. I went for about 2 months thinking thats what it was and scared out of my mind. It had been about 1 year 7 months since my last sexual encounter besides my fiance. Finally I told my fiance what the problem I was having and said I needed to get checked or else I would go insane. I was already thinking of ways I was going to tell her parents, my parents and her friends. I took the Rapid test and everything came back negative. I was relieved for a while. Now the worry is back. I dont know if its Hypochondriac in me or it something I am going to be scared about the rest of my life. The doctor told me that it would show up on the test if it has been over 6 months...and it was well over 6 months. I really am still kind of freaked out. I basically wanted to say sorry to everyone diagnosed with HIV and hope that this passes me by. Thank you for listening.
