    Hi, I understand your anxiety for HIV, I have been very worried about it for 12 months and all my tests have been negative but I can't seem to stop worrying about it.

    you need to have the test done to give you peace of mind, I'm sure you don't have it.

    Have the test, it'll be negative and once you have your baby you will soon forget about it all.

    All the best

      Well the only way to know is to test. As you said in your original post ur sure he would know if he had so I think you are fine. HIV anxiety is a real stressful thing as I know full well. I made a stupid decision last year and I have been freaking out since then. I have a 4 year old daughter so she has been my main concern as I am scared of passing something to her.

      Do you have symptoms of hsv2?

      Yeah hsv2 is nothing bad compared to HIV, although HIV isn't too bad now days as you can take medication to suppress it. Are you with the baby's father?

      Everything will be just fine for you!

      Well that is good, he is negative, he is obviously in a happy relationship with you, your having a child together.

      He obviously understands and supports you with your hsv2 so even if you did have hiv (which I highly doubt you do) he would support you in that. I understand that your baby is probably your main concern as I can relate to that.

      I hope (it will) all works out for you, and I'm sure you will be a great mother.
