Ive just had my second test, I was told that people can live to 10-15 years without any symptoms, I nearly walked away but every time I get the flu etc I would think maybe that is a sign, I have to wait till Monday to get my result, its hard to concentrate on anything else as its only natural to worry about how life would be knowing you had it

The fear, not sleeping and not eating properly lowers your immune system and cause you to be ill. I have been through the same thing. I was so afraid I could not eat or sleep and I bacame ill and lost about 20 pounds and I was convinced I had it. I was afraid to get tested but ended up getting the strenthe and it turned out I didn't have it at all. All the symptoms were just caused by my fear. So I am sure you are fine since your first came out clear. Just pray to God that he have mercy on you, and give you a second chance.

Its today I have to go and get my result, I feel sick with worry, the thought of being told I am ill is something I would not be able to cope with, I know all the worry in the world won't change anything I just want this day over with

Please tell us how you went if it's bad my deepest sympathies to you

I got the all clear, thank god... I have really had a wake up call, I am not putting myself at risk again. Please anyone reading this always use protection then you will have nthing to worry about

Im really glad that you learned something from this. You have no idea how many people don't learn anything from an experence like this. Be good to you, and good luck with everything that you do...

Congratulation! I feel relieved for you. The best way to protect yourself is to have one partner whom you trust. I.e a wife or a long term partner. Using a condom is not always 100% because breakage can occur then you will be crewed. I had a friend who got an std even though he used protection and that is because the condom broke. So be careful and rethink having random sexual encounters with strangers because you don't know who they were with last night.;)
