Well, let me give you some advice from someone who's been there.
I had unprotected sex with a person, who's HIV status I did not know. I had good reason however to be quite concerned that he may have HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
I waited about 3 weeks, really 3 weeks is about the first time a HIV test can detected if your body has produced any antibodies to combat HIV. Plus, it took me 3 weeks to really get up and go.
So, I had the test.. pretty simple. Waiting in the waiting room sucked, but hey everyone else was there cause they A. Had AIDS, or B. Wanted to get tested. So, like I'm no differnt right. The test itself, took a few minuets, no biggie. I was done in about 20 minuets total. Got a slip of paper with a number and a return appointment in 2 weeks.
Now, this is the tough part. NOTHING, NOTHING can compare to the hell of those 2 weeks. You can't even understand what goes thur your mind in the 2 weeks you have to wait. Every night, I couldn't sleep. Durning the day, I could not think. It was pure hell, pure hell. I'm not going to kid you, you can't prepare yourself for this. Finnaly I got to the point where I said to myself. Well, look if I have AIDS I have AIDS. I still need to get up, take a shower, go to work, have dinner..etc. Yea, maybe I'll need to take some pills and watch my health.. but the sun will still rise the next morning.
So, I got thur it. 2 weeks later I go for the results. I didn't want to wait, I just wanted them to tell me yes or no. Luckly, I didn't have AIDS... But guess what, that's NOT the end of it. You see, sometimes some people don't devolpe those HIV antibody's right away. In other words, I wasn't out of the woods yet. A year later, I had another test done. 2 weeks of hell while I waited for the results. Again, negitive.
So what have I learned. Well first off, use a damn condom, no matter how much someone tells you they want to feel you without wearing one. 2nd, USE A CONDOM.
Besides that, well I can tell you, since that night it happend about 3 years ago.. I have not had sex with ANYONE since. Yea, it scared me that fucking bad.. no kidding. However, I'll simply state this.. no amount of sex was worth the weeks of hell I went thur durning the test.. NO AMOUNT!
