I went to south america during May. For my birthday, i had sex with a sex worker and the condom broke. I got tested for chlamydia, syphilis, and gonorrhea and they came back negative. The wait time of 3 months is hard on me. I just need some support as I wait for my results.

" If it's of any help. I was having sex with my wife (unknowingly of course) right up till my diagnosis of AIDS. She was negative and still is but alas we now only have protected sex. Hell at least my sexy little vixen is still with me. I don't think she'll ever realise how much I love her!

$hit sorry, stealing your thread. Best wishes and take care. "
