okay so I had and encounter about 2 months ago (almost 3) I haven’t had any super crazzyy symptoms just and irregular menstrual (which I’m on birth control) & these little bumps all over my forehead that almost looks like a heat rash. since the encounter I’ve actually gained about 9 pounds and I took a 2 month test and it came back negative. I was wondering should I repeat the test again at 3 months and again at 6 or should I be okay ? Any suggestions cause I’m kinda still freaking out

Repeat it again at 3 months, - after this time it is considered more accurate.

I’ve also had “cold like symptoms” but I’m not sure if it’s my allergies cause my mucus is clear and watery and my throat doesn’t hurt just sneezing and sinus pressure so that’s another thing

  It's pretty damn accurate after two months. Repeat at three for conclusive but I don't think u have anything to worry about. Forehead spots and irregular menstrual are not indicative of HIV. Don't worry chill for three weeks an test again but I'm 99.9999% it'll be negative again x

Don't read into your symptoms too much, you'll drive yourself nuts. Just got another test at 3 months and you can feel confident that you do not have HIV. I spent way too long stressing over having HIV and I turned out just fine.

  I had the same thing but after I got my results back, the 'symptoms' I was feeling went away. It could just be stress

Okay so an update. I’m not really sure why but I’ve never gotten yeast infections and not I’ve had about 2 of them and I’m just super nervous all over again cause I heard that that’s an indication for the virus

  You will be fine. A lot of people have gone through this, including myself, and I turned out to be fine.

  Been there, seriously. I have counselling for mine because it preoccupies my thoughts. That's why I joined this forum to try and help other people who are worrying. Relax and enjoy life ??
