I am a 32 year old female from a very small town and I have lived in terror of HIV since about 1995. I basically diagnosed myself based on symptoms and in my mind I was almost certain that I was HIV positive. This has crippled my life for the past decade and the fear was so great it is hard to convey. I have been wanting to try to have a baby...but would not even consider it without knowing my HIV status and since I had already convinced myself that I was positive I had lost all hope. I felt hopeless and depressed. Yesterday after much prayer the Lord gave me the courage to get tested. Without the help of Jesus I could not have done it. Today after praying all day I got my results and they were NEGATIVE! Thank you JESUS!! I have tormented myself and missed out on peace of mind for over a decade!! Please don't do this to yourself...please...you can convince yourself 100% you are positive when you are not! I had unprotected sex several times years ago before I became a Christian. I was also told that two of those men were HIV positive (I didn't know for sure...but the rumor was enough). I know what the fear can do to your life...especially worring about how it will affect the people you love. I pray that if you are worried about HIV that you will PRAY for the LORD to give you the courage to be tested and for a Negative result! It was the scariest thing I have ever done(being tested) and today I feel better than If I had won a powerball lottery!! I have my life back!! And I thank God!! Hold on to Psalms 103:11 "For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him." The Lord gave me mercy and peace and he will give the same to you! Please be tested and LIVE!!!!!!

I do not mean to hijack this post, but remember the rest of your life who gave you the courage to test..GOD, and we owe alot to him. Praise him and read his word everyday for what has has given you. He is what go me through my hiv results. You cannot rely on your self, like you and I did or you will think you have it 100%. You have to rely on him.

WOW, reading your post was so strange. The exact same thing happened to me (well, except for the religion part.) I had unprotected sex ten years ago with a man I later found out was bisexual AND cheated on me. For ten years I lived in fear until finally not knowing became worse that knowing would be. getting tested was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. BUT, happily my test came out negative. I am still kind of in shock that I spent ten years not knowing. It seems surreal now.
