Was anybody

Worried about having the HIV test... I know I am being silly and probably ok but I am really worried.. I keep thinking what if it came back positive...

Anybody else feel like this ?

 

[Vickie]

I wasn't really worried about it but it all came as a surprise to me, the dr. said we need to send you for bloodwork and I said okay. I'm sure you are fine

Thanks for your reply. Im the sort of person who will convince myself something is wrong... I wish I didn't know about it then I wouldn't know any different lol..

I'm not sure if they do that over here?? I know I get tested though when I donate blood and I remember once being worried about it after being stupid and having unprotected sex. I'm sure you'll be fine. x

In my first pregnancy, I had a tendency to be scared about it I was fine then so didn't worry about it the next two times I tested. It's actually peace-of-mind and now my hubby knows he definitely doesn't have it either

Mervs mum - you can have the triple test, which is just taking some bloods, they test for downs, HIV and syphillis and something else i can't remember though. they do it at about 15/16 weeks i think over here in the UK, and its optional you dont have to have it done.

Yeah I'm having my bloods done soon and have to admit the thought has crossed my mind, but I am a worrier!!!
I am sure you will be fine so try not to get too stressed about it!

Thanks guys - Im glad Im not the only one ... I had a big health screening done last year got tested for everything apart from HIV so I know Im ok on everything else just that. I had unprotected sex when I was younger and carefree and now Im so worried it will come back and hit me in the face !!! if I wasn't worrying about this it would be something else lol....

OMG! I was just worrying about this very thing!

Not that I have any particular reason to worry, but in the back of my mind I was thinking "I've had unprotected sex once or twice in my younger days, so in theory it's possible I may have this & just not be aware of it"

I'm sure we'll all be ok, and as you say... now that we're pregnant we're always worrying about something! so I guess this is just another of those silly things we have to panic about!!

 

[Baby2b]

thats the thing isn't it "in theory its possible" but then I suppose anything is..I think its the stigma on it aswell...
