Dr. Bob you're simply awesome. Your words are like a healing balm anytime I read them. I also think you are very silly, but I love you loads.

Well, 8yrs ago I engaged touching and sucking (abt 3 different times) with a man (only man I got close to before getting married) of unknown status. During the last intimatcy we had only his glans was at the entrance of my vagina but his cum spilled there. I tested HIV1&2-ve 3yrs PE. I've been experiencing too many ailments + many infections lately. What could these ailments and loss of weight mean? I've been thinking about getting a 2nd opinion on the test. What do you think?

I'd be very grateful if you would as much as take a glance at this question and give me some peace/piece of (your) mind. Thanx in advance. Worried girl.

Hi,

You've tested negative three years past your possible exposure and you are still a "worried girl???" Gosh, and you think I'm the "silly" one? Honey, I can't diagnose the cause of your ailments over the Internet. But I can tell you what's not causing them. It's not HIV. So if you want to worry yourself silly over something, you'll have to pick something other than HIV. How about Ebola?

Hope you're soon on the mend, Worried Girl. I think if you stop needlessly worrying about HIV, you'll also feel better quicker!

Dr. Bob
