jsb,

You did not have a risk for hiv infection so it is no surprise you have tested conclusively negative for hiv.

Chlamydia is another kettle of fish and it is entirely possible to become infected with it in the situation you did. Unlike hiv, chlamydia is easy to transmit and condoms don't always protect if you get some chlamydia-infected fluids on your penis.

Hiv is a fragile, difficult to transmit virus that is transmitted INSIDE the human body, as in unprotected anal or vaginal intercourse. Condoms have been proven to prevent hiv infection.

You do not have hiv. Whatever is causing you and your wife's problems have nothing to do with hiv. You both need to see your doctor to find out what is going on. We cannot diagnose you here, but we can tell you that you have tested conclusively negative for hiv - you do not have hiv.

Nothing you have described about your wife's physical symptoms is suggestive of HIV.

If her symptoms continue she should discuss them with her doctor.

I expect you will test negative for HIV. Guilt is a whole other matter and you seem to be loaded with it after having strayed. You're just a dawg like the rest of us. You can't undo that bit of your personal history. See it, accept it, take a breath and let it go. That's the best thing you can do for all concerned. Really.

Good luck on your test.

Cheers,
Andy Velez

thanks ANDY for the advised.im a bit worried again,just came back from the hospital,i have to go the emergency last night because my back and stomach was hurting really bad and having a difficulty breathing.first i thought it was a heartburn then it felt like something i s sqeezing my body from the inside.and then for some reason i thought that going to the toilet would help,but it didnt.went to the washroom 3 times.anyway,the emergency doc. thought that it maybe hep.b or c coz they found out that the pain is really comig from the right side of my stomach.they did some test and it came back neg. but the doc. said that they found some enzymes in my liver (dont know what that means) .but he think that it might be my gall bladder that causing the pain, and gave me some pain killer and send me home and told me to get an x-ray just to make sure.i forgot to mention that i told him i got tested for HIVand he told me to get it check againwith m family doc. evethough i told him this is after 14 weeks since my exposure.i just have a question,,, howcome after telling them about my hiv concern still they did not test me on the spot.and just did the hep b and c.and could this be a symtom of hiv.

thanks again and pls. be patience with me im jst really worried.
still waiting for my result.

js,

They didn't test you on the spot because you told them you already had a conclusive fourteen week negative. Besides, what you describe has nothing to do with hiv. How could it when you don't have hiv?

Like your doctor, I would suspect a gall-bladder problem. Make sure you attend the follow-up appointments.

You are conclusively negative for hiv and all the worry in the world won't change that fact. The ONLY thing that may change that fact is if you go out and engage in unprotected intercourse. Use condoms and avoid hiv infection.

Also sounds like appendicitis.  Which i've had and it sucks.

im back and still worried,i just had another stomach pain last night that lasted about 2 hours again started as a heartburn and then got worst,could this be one of those gas problem that pos. people are experiencing.and went to my doc. last week but she's on vac. and she have a replacement for a week,she's the one that i talked  and i asked her about the enzymes in my blood that they found in the hos. and she said its due from drinking too much alcohol which make sense a little bit coz i was drinking heavily this past 7 months,and just gave me a appont. for a ultra sound for my gall bladder thing and that was done. todat, i called my doc. for my hiv test and the nurse answer and i asked for my test useally she would say if its in or not  and give me the result on the phone but this time she asked for my # and she said my doc.will call me and this made me nervous. i mean why would she has to call my doc. to call me  this made me think that the test is in and she just doent wanna deal with me coz of the result.anyway,the nurse phone back and she simply just say that the test is not back yet so she could not  give me any result in a sarcastic kinda way or maybe its just me.again this made me think that my doc.is busy thats why the nurse called me back not her,coz maybe shes so busy that when she tells me the bad news she wouldnt have a time to spare to comfort me.and this... is my imagination...or this is what really happened?
THANKS AGAIN FOR READING AND GOD BLESS US ALL...

i hope 14 weeks is really good enough for hiv testing....and in my case .i know some people tested neg. at this time but then still test pos. after 6 months.
still have some little pimple like on my face,some looks like just a little bump and some have small fuzz in the middle that is more obvious when get wet,yes typical hiv rash,headaches,and weird feelings on my legs and loose vm.thanks again

Pay attention! YOU DID NOT HAVE A RISK. YOU ARE NEGATIVE.. If you have a concern see your doctor. This is an HIV assessment forum.
