[MERGED] Aids / Hiv

[mr_explosive]

mga 5-6 po. minsan umaatake nalang bigla. ganun po ba. dito lang kasi ako lagi ngayon sa bahay e. kaya minsan bigla ko nalang naaalala.

@ Explosive, there is no 100% guarantee. In extremely rare cases, delayed seroconversion happens even after 6 months, even up to a year.

Besides, each sexual act carries a certain level of risk, not just of HIV but of other sexual diseases. Are you going to stay celibate for the rest of your life?

You should realize that what you have is not HIV but heightened anxiety. If unmanaged, it can damage your mind. Anxiety can even create other diseases. To manage anxiety, talk to counselors or to friends who surmounted their HIV anxieties. Exercise, nice hobbies, meditation, a lover and supportive friends have been known to diminish anxiety.

@mr. e:
kahit na ano pang sabihin ng nandito ultimately ang ikaw pa rin ang makakapag decide kung kelan ka makakapag move on. kung kailan handa ka ng bitawan ang mga pag aalinlangan. kailangan mo pa ng panahon in the meantime live your life. abalahin mo ang iyong sarili. manood ka ng sine or mag alaga ka ng dog. ako nung 3rd month ko ganyan din so paranoid, then nag 4th month non reactive so medyo nakahinga ayun nag take ako ng korean classes matagal ko ng gusto matuto ng 3rd languge so i guess medyo blessing in disguise na rin iyang akala ko e may HIV ako. mas naging aware ako sa bagay bagay at mas humaba ang pasensya ko.

btw tinatamad aking mag back read tanong ko sana kelan ang last suspected sex contact mo? at kelan ka nagpa test? kasi nung may 28 mo pa concern ito. may ginawa ka bang aksyon mula noong may 28 hanggang ngayon?

[mr_explosive]

last exposure ko is march 2. nagpatest po ako ng may 21. non reactive naman. sabi dun sa clinic conclusive na daw po un kasi protected viganal sex at single exposure lang *** exposure ko. kulang kasi ako ng days para makapag 3 months e. kaya mejo worried parin po ako.

[mr_explosive]

papatest po ako ngayon for peace of mind. pagdasal nyo po ako.

[mr_explosive]

nakapag pa test na po ako. non-reactve. now i can move on

kanina lang din nakuha ko result ng hiv screening ko,, at salamat naman kay god at non reactive sya,, paalam na sa mundo ng kabaliwan,, ilang buwan din ako naging paranoid.

[creech]

may pre counselling ba?

mas ok siguro kung sabihin na lang ng doctor kung bad news o good news since sila naman ang unang nakakaalam.

yup,, meron pre-counseling sa San Lazaro protocol sa
kanila yan bago ka isalang sa HIV testing,, grabe nung
kinuha ko yung result, pinakaba pa ako ng husto ng Dra.
ask nya kung ano mga plano ko,, una kung mag Negative
ano ang mga gagawin ko at babaguhin ko,, then ask din
nya pano kung Positive? ano mga plano ko, di ako maka
sagot that time,, ayaw nya abot sa akin yung papel ng result
sabi nya hinde nya pa daw nakikita yun at ako unang makaka
alam kung ano result,, sabi ko nga kung mag positive ako,, parang katapusan na ng mundo ko pero kako tuloy ang buhay ayun inabot nya skin yung result ng makita ko NONREACTIVE
ang result napa sigaw pa ako sa tuwa, pati yung Dra. Natawa sa akin.. Salamat kay God at di nya ako pinabayaan
ilang buwan ako paranoid since September 2011,, kaya ngayon para ako nabunutan ng tinik at nagka roon ako ng peace of mind.

should i still be worried? i tested at 11.4weeks about 3 days short of the 12 week waiting period.. natanong ko na toh dati, kaso nakakahawa kasi ang pagiging paranoid. protected vaginal sex yung last exposure ko nung March 2. is there still a need for further testing??

Nasagot ko na rin to, pero sagutin ko ulit. Protected vaginal sex is safe. Your test is sufficient. No need to test again.

I hope that controls your paranoia for now.

hi guys.i'm a 20 year old girl who just lost vrgnity at this age but it's a nightmare after realizing the risk of sx--- that i might contracted HIV and might infect my current BF .i used to be super worried...i ws crying most of the time and even resigned on my job because i wasnt able to focus --i was still then a newbie on that company.
Now ,im happy to announce that my 2nd HIV test is nonreactive.so to all people out there (girls,guys,,especially gays and bi) i advice you to go and take a test.Don't be shy about admitting the "deed".Don't fret if your'e going alone in the clinic to have a test.Cause i went with no one to have HIV screening.I ws a shy girl before but because of HIV anxieties i overcame those and bravely faced the nurses,the personal questions and injections.

I became closer to God because of that experience.It's somehow life-changing,it will really change your perspective in life and realize your purpose here on earth.

Im just hoping that more and more people should be educate on safe sex or just be loyal.Im praying that teenagers should be aware on the danger of having a sex.I want to help them in some ways as possible.Prevention is better than cure...sadly HIV doesnt have a cure..yet.
Be Loyal to your partners people or take a test...let's stop the spread of this virus!

Hello po.. I'm a straight guy and I've been reading the [MERGED] Aids/Hiv thread for the reason that I think that I might be "positive". I've been back-reading the thread since page 20 and I'm now on page 47. The thread has answered most of my queries and has been very informative.. I beg your indulgence in helping me answer a few queries...

But first, a brief background of my quandaries. I had a sexual encounter with a female nung May 2012. She was a dancer in a bar. Needless to say, I paid for the sex. We had "protected" sex, but during the heat of the moment, I went down on her for about 2 seconds. It was already too late before I realized my error. Fast forward to July 11, I had another sexual encounter, with a different female. Again, I paid for it; I used a condom during penetration but the girl gave me "unprotected" fellatio before the penetration. Those are my only 2 sexual encounters for the past 3 years. I don't normally pay for sex but I've been "tigang" for so long that I started to experiment, so to speak.

My paranoia started immediately a day after the recent sexual encounter. On the evening of July 12, I started experiencing flu or cold-like symptoms: [slight fever] [loss of appetite] [fatigue]. Wala naman po akong rashes and bulging lymph nodes. I would've easily disregarded this as the usual cold/flu but I just had a cold/flu last month and based on my experience and knowledge of my body, I don't normally contract another cold/flu in a span of just a month. It has been 6 days and my stress levels are at its peak.

So here are my queries:
> Would it be alright if I had myself tested this soon? It has only been about two months since my 1st "suspect" sexual encounter and 6 days since my recent. I am more nervous about my 2nd because the girl I was with was one of those you'd find lurking in Quiapo.
> Has the feedback in Manila Social Hygiene Clinic been good? It is the nearest testing center near my place.

Thank you in advance for your replies..

nung ako ang paranoid that time,, yan din ang gusto ko mangyare mag under go test agad,, pero ang sabi sa akin ng Dr. sa San Lazaro it will take a 6months bago pa makita kung HIV infected ka, it's useless kung magpapa test ka ngayon pero hinde pa sya ma dedetect right now, but you try to test after 3months window period sa Manila Social Hygiene, nag coconduct sila ng HIV Testing pero, kung Gusto mo naman din pwede ka sa San Lazaro Hospital Magpa Test, wag kang dumerecho sa OPD Department,, sa H4-OPD ka mag punta, dahil ang mga patient nila doon mostly mga nagpapa test din, at wag kang pupunta sa H4-OPD ng araw ng hwebes dahil yang araw na yan ay araw ng gamutan nila sa mga HIV positve, hinde ka nila ma aasikaso. Kung May 12, 2012 yung first unsafe sex mo August 12, 2012 pasok na sa window period, agahan mo pag punta doon 8:am ang bukas nila, kasi bago ka mai salang sa HIV Test ipre-counselling ka muna,, protocol sa kanila yan bago ka makapagpa test ng HIV.

@darkprince80
kagagaling ko lang sa social hygiene clinic sa tapat ng San Lazaro Hospital. Pinayagan naman nila ako magpa-test. non-reactant/reactive naman yung resulta..
