It would be a good story if you gave some hint of risk, or lack of. Remember to read back posts and see if the person you had your risk with is saying they caught something from you.

It's not a silly view, it's a downright dangerous view both for yourself and for the other people you have sexual contact with. Out of respect for yourself, not to mention others, you should be aware and mindful of your sexual health.

I, as usual, agree with Bill. What was your risk to begin with? Perhaps you don't even need testing and are driving yourself crazy for no reason.

Life is meant for living, not fearing.

I know how you feel about getting tested.
I had a night of unprotected sex (oral, vaginal) with a girl I didnt know. This happened 1.5 yrs ago and I have had too many symptoms to list (I will try though if anyone cares to know)
I have avoided taking the test because I fear the positive result.
I know i am +
I live everyday in fear
I meet new women, date them until its "time" to disclose and then i stop seeing them because I can't deal with it.
My life is a mess, instead of doing the things Im supposed to be doing, im sitting around feeling sorry for myself and depressed.
I need help but dont know where to turn, I guess i need counseling but cant afford or dont know where to get for free.
I don't know how much longer I can take it

But, I wish you luck anyways
