I'm scared
      #68836 - 08/06/03 08:25 PM


I am really scared. I have Fibromyalgia and nerological defects. I went into the doctor's office Mon. with a case of oral thrush. I didn't know what it was. Next thing I knew I had a counselor talking to me about AIDS testing. It appartantly is the first symptom of HIV. I do not take any antibiotics or steriods and am not otherwise immunocompromised. So it sounds like I have HIV. I also have been sleeping 18 hours a day and having night sweats. I don't know what I will do if I do have it. I am calling my doctor tomorrow to see when i will have the results. My boyfriend and myself are going nuts. I tried to talk to my mother for support- but she said she didn't want to talk about it because her arm is broken and hurts. I am so scared.

Courtney: Take a deep breath. It's natural to be scared while waiting for the results of an HIV test, but try not to jump to conclusions. The oral thrush might not be HIV-related at all. Hopefully your result will come back negative. If you're up to it, let us know how it turns out.

My thoughts are with you Courtney. I am waiting for a long and worrysome month so that I can take the test. I wish you the best.
