Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share a little of my story. I've been on and off these boards for about a year now, trying to help when i can. I used to post on here as worriedgirl so hello to all of you awesome ppl that helped me out before. EricCO, sadface, ravi, aids2hiv, and everyone else... you guys are all so supportive, understanding and awesome :) I have a problem with promiscuous sex. I'm usually careful about it but sometimes I am unsafe because of the fact that i have manic depression. when i am in that manic state everything seems almost like a fantasy so my mind tells me i don't have to worry about realistic things. i am worried again, i had ONE risky exposure since the last time i was on here. i can't seem to think of anything else. Everyone makes mistakes and i am no different. I have accepted that everything happens for a reason and so no matter what my results are I would still like to be a part of raising awareness as I live in a very small narrow minded community. The compassion that is shown here (except for the few bad apples) is amazing. It lets me know that ppl do still care about each other even though most of the world seems hateful. I live in a small town in rural Kansas and I want to help advocate awareness of HIV and other STD's because I honestly feel like it is something that is calling me. I want to help other people understand the risks and dispel myths that ppl have. I know this is shocking but the Kansas State Board of Education recently was trying to pass an amendment to teach abstinence only in schools. Can you imagine the devastation that would cause? No information to children about pregnancy or std's. Just telling them wait until your married and that's it. I was horrified when I heard this and of course i voted against it. It is going to be brought up again though for consideration. I know it is trying to be implemented in other states as well. Anyways, I just wanted to tell everyone how much I appreciate feeling welcome here and that some of the greatest ppl in the world are right here :)

I truly know about making mistakes but to put yourself thru this again has got to be the most insane thing I have ever heard of. I'd give my left leg to be able to go back to the night I made my mistake, and trust me when I tell you that I don't think I will have the chance to make sure I never expose myself again to HIV, cause deep in my heart I know I have it. I don't give a rats ass about the tests, I'm sick as hell and I know I have passed this to my husband thanks to listening to these crazy ass docs tell me it's not HIV if it don't show in 6 months. I either have some crazy strain or I'm infected with multiple infections and it's taking time to show. I can't imagine going thru 12 weeks of hell wondering and to able to get thru that knowing you dodged the bullet to go thru it again, please get the help you need to respect yourself more. I'm not being mean, it just kills me to see people have to go thru this including myself. We are here if you need us sweetie just please be more careful.
