Hi everyone, hope all is well. I just wanted to let everyone know after years of putting myself at risk and worrying about the possibilty of being positive, I finally tested last week. It was negative. I found out on the same day that I was calling in for my results that I was also pregnant.
I freaked myself out so much and was so convinced that I was positive, although I didn't actually ask to hear it. I assumed from a statement made by the rep at Home Access that I was. I called my boyfriend of 5 years right away and told him what happened. I spent the entire afternoon calling hotlines and looking for doctors. Only to call back Home Access and hear that I was negative.
This morning I went to the doctor and found out that I lost my baby. I was only 5 weeks pregnant and the stress that I put myself through on Wednesday caused me to miscarry.
I am posting my story to let everyone know that if you are at risk for being infected with HIV, find out the truth! Stress does crazy things to your body and your immune system. And not knowing for me was worse than knowing.
I've learned a lot from this experience and I hope sharing it with others helps you to build up enough courage to find out your status. Don't wait till your pregnant to test.

Gia, that's great. Now protect your negative status. Don't ever put yourself at risk again by having unprotected sex. Remember, no glove no love.

very very sorry to hear about your baby, didnt know stress can do so much damage. its a very f****d up thing anxiety/stress, ive tested negative but simply stressin about actually having hiv for about 2months has left me in a right state still after knowing my status!.. the brain is very powerful and stressing 24/7 can cause alot of damage mentally i know that..
again very sorry to hear about your experience..
