PLEASE people take a look at this :( - TheBody.com's Bulletin Boards

You really need to calm down. You remind me of a teenager that knows their point is shaky so they they just yell louder. No you didn't read correctly. I'm not sure of my exposure date, however the 'flu' I had in late November my doctor says was ARS. So yes, I did have symptoms. Matter of fact, I had 'classic' ARS if there is such a thing. I just didn't know it was ARS. I thought it was the Flu. Worse flu I every had. I would have had to have been dead 3 days to feel better. Why did I test? Because my doctor had me testing routinely, because my husband was positve. Those of us in a relationship with a positive person need to test every 6 months or once a year, which ever are doctor thinks is best. I didn't test because I thought I was infected. I tested because it was time.

I don't have a payoff for trying to get people to move on with their lives after testing negative. Look at you all. You make your lives miserable because you refuse to believe your tests. Your whole lives are wrapped up in this. I've seen people on this board lose their families, jobs, friends, etc. because they have refused to believe their results. The sad thing is so many times, they finally do believe, but not until they have ruined their lives. Here you all are with maybe a one time exposure, many times not even an exposure that needs to be tested, not even knowing the status of your partners (probably negative), symptoms that have nothing to do with HIV, yet you remain stuck in all the filtercarb of thinking you are positive.

Remember that neighbor I mentioned. The one that found out she was HIV when she had a routine test because she was pregnant? Well of course they tested her boyfriend. After years of unprotected sex he tested negative out to 6 months. They told him he can rest assured he has remained negative. Now he accepts that negative and he certainly has more reasons not to than any of you on this board.

I've noticed that about this board. People with real reasons to worry don't post here. It's just people that really don't have an exposure and are obessing about this that post. Then you all seem to feed of each other, making each other worse. The last person I remember actually having a reason to worry was the girl that found out the guy she had been sleeping with was indeed HIV postive. She got her negative and moved on. She believed her test. It only seems to be the people without a real cause for worry that can't seem to move on. It makes me wonder what issues you all should be facing that it's easier to focus on something you don't have than to face the real issue. It must be a real big one. I mean it seems you all would rather make your lives miserable than to deal with whatever it is you should be dealing with. It just doesn't make any sense to me.

You all only know about HIV from what you read on the net. You only look at one side, the side that will prove you are positive after testing negative. But when faced with something that might really prove your point, you all freak. Kimberly's story is a great example. You all have no discredited the story. Called The Body irresponbile for putting the article up. Anything you can, to discredit the story, because it's a little to close to the truth you are really looking for. I'm surprised. I figured you all would be overjoyed to find the proof of what you all seek. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised. I've seen the board jump on someone and discredit them, just because they post with a real reason to worry. It's like you a want to worry, but God forbid you find a real reason to worry. You turn on anything that hits to close to home like a bunch of Hyenas. If you know anything about Hyenas, you know they are some of the most vicious animals around. They hunt in a pack and rip their prey limb from limb.

I do have an advantage over most of you. I can see the other side. Let's face it. I imagine most if not all of you don't know anyone HIV. If you did, you could talk to them, instead of posting here. The REAL side of this disease through people that actually have to deal with HIV. I got to tell you, these people are much nicer and less crazy and more down to earth then the people that post on this board.

You all are ruining your lives over something you have no reason to worry about. I know I can't do anything about it. If you're deadset to do that, you will. At least I can try to put some common sense in the middle of this mass hysteria that you all create.
