After I noticed bumps, I got tested for everything except HPV because they didn't have a test for that. I then waited 6 six to test for HIV and came out neg. I hope you don't have to wait longer than that because I read that in rare cases that it vould take hiv antibodies a year to show up. But the cdc operarator told me that 6 months was long enough. I hope he was right.

It has been 9 months for me. I'll just feel so relieved once I find out.

I think the link between HIV and HPV is in reality non-existent. I think what they mean is that if you do have HIV, then you're immune system is shot. This means you would be more susceptible to any virus including HPV.

I got tested, thank-god I didn't have that too...considering how horrible I felt after finding out about this I don't think I could have lived on with the HIV...I probably would have felt suicidal.

tested, negative. There is a strong co- incidence between the 2, however... It seems people who carry the virus start to show it more when HIV positive.
It also has a strong link to oral warts.

I think it's nothing to be scared of cuz I agree with "yy" when she/he says that "This means you would be more susceptible to any virus.." and that's a fact! that's how HIV weakens you..by attacking your inmune system, don't worry fellas !!, keep on taking care of yourselves and that's it.

This was my original post. I found out today that I tested negative. Maybe I was just being paranoid, but it feels good to know for sure.
