Aids test

I would like to see whether I am infected or not. What
should I do? Whom should I consult?

If I got infected within the period that is less than 3
years, would results show the correct information?

Yes, it's 3 months incubation period. Hope you're okay.

yeah, inclubation period is 3 months or so....don't be
afraid, it's less common than you think...

and your doctor or local Hosptical should be able to point
you in the right direction..

I'm in a very high rise group and despie that I'm
clean...but a test every few month is very wise...

pS AIDS& HIV are different a nd captured ealy you have a
great chance of a much extended life...

HTH...good luck...

Thanks!
My anti-body glands are not swollen, but 3 months have not
passed yet. I am experiencing all the symptoms. I hope it
is just some psychosomatic shit and that pinch I felt was
not someone's needle.

apparently anything over a week should show, but anything
over a month is a dead cert. Only a couple of days is not
always long enough. Up to 3 years , then its gonna show for
sure. Remember, its HIV they test for, AIDS is the bodily
breakdown that can occur when HIV goes 'full-blown'.

What makes you think you might have it ? Heterosexual sex is
a VERY rare transmission process. Homosexual penetration is
slightly higher risk, but still very low.
Millions of people have one-night stands and then their
mates say "Oh she's a slut, hope you didn't catch AIDS..."
and its all bullshit.

Unless you been sharing needles with smack addicts regularly
over the last 3 years, its unlikely you'll even need a test.
But if it brings peace of mind, do it. If you're clean, you
could even make it as a pornstar, which I know you'd love to
do ( or is it just me ?) anyway take care and be safe :)

OK, 3 months not 1 month then I stand corrected

I am posting this because there has been talk about aids
(plus the thing I feel inside me... like a thousant of
monsquitos flowing trough my veins), and what was said on my
previous post. It is more an act of instinct. But I think
it would be wise to check myself in any way.

Are you talking about Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease ??

The thing could be some kind of anxiety dissorder. Maybe
what I need is a shrink (I am quite serious about this).

Marlowe:)

For about two years as a kid I was convinced that 90% of
the time i was on the verge of spontaneous human combustion.


And the flesh eating virus Ebola still seems a very real
probability whenever I feel my skin twitch...

I guess its just the hypochondria playing up :)

No I have never been preocupied with physical health, but
with mental health I have been. I thank you for trying to
ease the fear, although marlowe did scare me.

Anyway, I think I shouldn't talk much. I got the info I
needed, and from here I can go on my own. Thank you again!

cancer.

I was tested about two years ago, it is not a nice
experience. I turned out to be negative and it was a great
relife. The counselling really prepares you for the worst.

If you are worried take the test, if you are positive it
isn't the end of the world. I have friends who have full
blown AIDS and have had it for more than five years. Thery
can function fine they just have to be careful around people
because a cold virus could kill them.

You'll get through whatever it is Monumrnt, you realize that
life
is a constantly changing thing and every moment is what
counts, you could die tommorrow and if it's not of your own
making than it was supposed to happen at that time.

Just try and make the most
wise decisions you can make using your intuition and stop
thinking about this, it will pass and you will find that you
are on your way to being a superhero like you always
intended in the first place.

I'm constantly thinking I have cancer. Anytime my head
hurts, my tummy hurts, my leg hurts, I automatically think
''here it is, you're about to die''. And of course I never
do. :-/

Too much thinking can lead to problems in your body.

If you can't stop the random thoughts,
a good dose of LSD will help ya.

it gets all of the thoughts out of the way
by making you face each one of them
individualy and then after you realize that they were all
pointless,
you reach the no thought zone where everything is much more
pleasant
and not disturbing but beautiful.

and then you don't need to do LSD or any other
mind altering substance for a while or forever depending on

if you start meditating after that
and understanding the art of no thought.

thanks for laughing Zephyr

I haven't been to a doctor in years... I have a DEBILITATING
FEAR of anything medical. My mom used to drag me to them
kicking and screaming, but now I'm bigger than her and she
can't make me. :-p at my mom.

I probably have an alien growing inside my chest, but oh
well.
