Have any of you been tested for HIV also?

I have read about connections between HIV and HPV and wonder if any of you have been tested for HIV. I've read that out of all women who have HPV, genital warts are more prevalent among women with HIV than in women who don't. It was enough to make me paranoid. I get my results either tomorrow or Saturday.

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.

probably should get tested.. think im
gonna. too scared too though. I keep
thinking about what one of my friends
said to me," Would you really want to
know if you had it?"..

misspurre I feel ya though joe. I'm
scared I 've been tested twice before.
The last time was about 7 months ago.
I'm, scared to get tested again. Im
scared too know. Eventhough I do not
that I should-Im very afraid. I think
eventually I will though.
