HIV???

Posted , 5 users are following.

hello, i ha unprotected oral from a sex worker and im already completely ashamed. 6 months later, i had a full std tests and came back with a negative HIV test that was a 4th gen w/rfx, but my test said i came back positive to have HSV-1 antibodies. i read that having an sti will increase chance i get hiv, so since then ive been completely freaking out and here is what i did next. ONE week before my 5 months i went to planned parenthood and got a 20 minute test for HIV from blood they took, which came back negative. at 6 months and some days, like i said earlier i took the 4th gen test with rfx and it came back non reactive and normal. a week later i took an oraquick test using my saliva and waiting 20 minutes the line at the very top which stated that i was negative was completely red and the line below which would be positive was non existent and i tried looking hard. so, if my hsv -1 did increase my chance to get HIV, from the results i have been given am i being crazy to still be worrying if i have HIV? im freaking out.

      idk how it got cut off, but i recieved a blood test from plant parenthood at 1 week before 5 months and test negative, then tested again with 4th gen test at 6 months and some days. my question is what are the chances my test are conclusive, the same scenario im recently scared of because i have HSV-1, which is an STI and can increase my chances to get HIV. so, im here going CRAZY. would you take these test as conclusive or am i just over thinking it

      I was referring to the fact that since it was a sex worker 😕.. I'd be more worried about it, and I've kind of been insanely scarred about that fact and now that I've been tested positive for hsv1 I'm literally in agony thinking worst case scenarios. like what if hiv antigens aren't produce after 6 months and my antibodies as well , uhh
