Dear Dr . Bob , i just wanted to tell you thats this is great what you are doing. I testing after 3 months of my last sexual encounter(protected vaginal and unprotected oral) for hiv, hep b , syphilis, gonorehea and chylmidia! PARDEN THE SPELLINGS! i had a full house negative... After about a year i started to urinate alot even though i didnt drink alot of water! this started to freak me out so i went and had the tests done again . DURING THIS YEAR I HAD NO SEXUAL CONTACT LET ALONE A SNOG WITH ANYONE... I got my tests for hiv and all except hep b(they said it hasnt come for some reason). It was negative for the rest but since i was negative 3 months after for hep b , i am assuming that it will still be neg. IS THIS TESTING ENOUGH OR I HAVE TOGET SOME OTHER TESTS. My doc coundlnt understand why i felt like urinating ! is this hiv or something ... ?

I also want to donate , where about do you go ? thanks and keep it up

Hi,

Congratulations on your negative tests! WOO-HOO!

Urgency (feeling like you need to urinate) and/or frequency (actually urinating frequently) can be caused by a number of different medical conditions. "Is this HIV . . . ?" Nope! Your repeatedly negative HIV tests out to one year definitively and conclusively rule HIV out as a cause. I should also mention that frequency and/or urgency are not symptoms associated with HIV seroconversion or HIV infection. So, ". . . is it something . . . .?" Could be. You'll need to follow up with your doctor to check this out. But one thing that's for certain: It's not HIV!
