Chances of getting HIV or any other STD !?
Posted: 09-03-07 11:12am

Hi peeps.

I am a 19 year old guy from Glasgow, Scotland who has just made the biggest mistake of his life.

I attend university and "might" be getting my degree this year. (I sat my last exam worrying about STD'd throughout it, I passed everything else(virgin at time), tho I'm sure iv failed my last module because i couldnt stop thinking about STD's).

Anyway. On the 28th June 2007 I had unprotected sex with a girl I know (lose virginity). She stays virtually round the corner from me.

It didn't last that long, but, embaressing about 5 - 8 minutes.

I have found out she has pre-cancer in her womb which means she probably has HPV, I probably have that now. (scares me to death).

In my opinion she has had a dodgy/risky past.

The next morning I noticed a SMALL spot of blood stained on my boxers (like a small circle from my penis).

I'm not sure if it was my blood or hers, I'd also like to note I think my penis wasn't normal at the time, I had a hard time retracting the foreskin and I think the penis was all inflamed so the sex was actually pretty sore. But the likelyhood is the blood was from her? If it is I think I'm just about to commit suicide! OH MY GOD Sad Sad Sad

Ever since that night I have not felt my normal self. My genitals feel uncformotable, I'm sure I had a discharge as I stained my boxer shorts with a green/yellow stain. Sitting here at about 2 months later I have tender groin/joints, feeling nauserish, headache and have swollen lymph nodes.

about a month after, maybe 5 weeks or 5 and a half weeks later I got tested for STD's. Tested for chlamydia twice, one at the doctors and one at the GUM clinic. Tested for gonnorhea by a swab at the GUM clinic where nothing was found and also done a urine test for gonnorhea which was also negative.

I also had a blood test taken for Syphillis and HIV at the same time (5 weeks) which both came back negative.

So at this very moment I have been informed I have no STD, however I know it can take up to 3 months to be sure you don't have HIV. So yeh I am EXTREMELY worried about HIV.

A few questions I have...

Why did I have a discharge if I have no bacterial STD such as chlamydia or gonnorhea? (tested twice).
What is the likelyhood of an HIV test at say 4 - 5 weeks, is it unreliable?


I will be going back to get re-tested for HIV on 28th September - 2nd October.

So yeh I have a long enough agnosing and terrible wait to get re-tested for HIV. Then I need to wait about 2 weeks for my result Sad


Can anyone please comfort me Sad

Sorry no one got back with you...so how did it go? Even if you test positive for HIV it doesn't mean you are going to die..it just means you will have to take a pill or 2 every day and you will have to take care of your self. It going to be OK as long as you take care of your self and don't make the same mistakes again.
