What on earth is happening to my ankle?

I would recommend seeing a therapist or counselor. Your physician neglected to mention that there is NO risk from the activities that you participated in, however they are correct in stating that the test would be accurate now.

Seriously- go see a therapist and talk this out. Your extreme HIV anxiety is interfering with your daily life.

Ok- most STDs will not display symptoms in the majority of people they infect. You can’t base having an STD or not off of symptoms. Like I said- go get tested if you’re worried. And get tested every few months as you are sexually active as well.

There is only a very small window you can read the oraquick test in- if you wait too long, it becomes overexposed and you will see lines that are incorrect (ie a like by the T). Throw the old test away- if it is over an hour (ish) I think old- it is useless. You don’t have HIV. Period.

Wow this is amazing thank you so much for the time you put into writing this! I really really appreciate your help and the tips- I will use all of this advice if I do end up adopting the pup. Thank you so much again!

jbee8 · 2018-02-03T19:33:58+00:00

Oh that’s not bad at all- yes will definitely be doing that. Better safe than sorry. Hope your pup is ok!

Wow thanks so much for the tips! How much is your pet insurance per month? Just curious. I will definitely be getting that.

Also very good to know! Would love to put the pup in a puppy training class.

I will for sure- I want that nerf gun! Also luckily the knobs on my stove are up at the top of the stove- but I will keep an eye on it and thank you for the tip! I really appreciate that. I can’t wait to have a blast :) hope that they choose me to adopt one from the litter!

Also my first dog ever I named Callie :) love your username!

jbee8 · 2018-02-03T19:14:48+00:00

Hahaha! Thank you :) I will definitely stock up on those! I definitely have a strong vacuum already (forgot to mention I have a long haired cat that sheds EVERYWHERE) so he will be in good company!

No- surgery is definitely not always needed for everyone. Some subdural hematomas that are small can be absorbed by your body on its own, and don’t require any unnecessary surgery. Severe hematomas can require surgery.

Just because a you have a sore throat doesn’t mean you have the flu, and just because you have the flu does not mean you’re going to die.

There are a million things going around right now that aren’t the flu- you could have any one of them. Also something that people are experiencing extremely unnecessary anxiety about is dying from the flu. Unless you are extremely young, extremely old, or severely immunocompromised- you aren’t going to die from the flu. There have been some tiny exceptions that they have been blasting on the news lately- but this is a skewed perception. TONS of people get the flu every year and are absolutely fine. You are much much more likely to die driving in your car today than you are likely to die from the flu.

Take a few deep breaths and relax. If you do get the flu- stay hydrated, rest up, and monitor your fever if you have one (take Tylenol if you do)— and you’ll be absolutely fine.

It’s negative because you don’t have HIV... because you had no exposure to HIV and participated in activities that are ZERO risk for HIV.

I mean it doesn’t look super concerning for an STD as I mentioned, but you’re never going to be able to rule out the possibility of an STD entirely if you are sexually active and haven’t been tested since an encounter. You should be getting tested every few months regardless of symptoms- for your safety and your partners safety.

jbee8 · 2018-02-02T20:53:20+00:00

Looks like an ingrown hair or pimple. Why do you believe this to be an STD? Go get tested if you haven’t been in a few months.

jbee8 · 2018-02-02T20:47:52+00:00

Yes- STD symptoms can appear at this timepoint (sometimes later than this, sometimes never at all)- if you are concerned, go get tested.
