Taking fiance to be tested makes me feel like I am being diagnosed all over agai
« on: April 23, 2007, 05:33:06 pm »
Today I made an appt for Friday to take my fiance to be tested again with rapid testing. His last test was negative and he has no signs so I am hoping that he is negative but I am terrified! I have come to terms with my diagnosis and actually have had days that the only time I think about it is briefly when taking my meds yet I feel like I am hearing you are positive all over again.
This morning my ASO mailed me more female condoms. I am hoping that is the jinx that will keep him from being positive. Stupidly supperstitious I know.

Your concern is certainly understandable.

The science-based reality of course is that as long as you two consistently use condoms for intercourse that should work to protect his negative status. Of course, the mind and emotions are a whole other thing, which is why your worrying is sort of par for the course, especially when your guy is having a regular checkup test.

Good luck with the result! And keep us posted.
