I am single mother. My son's father is dead and now I am plauged with the thought that I have put my life/my son's life in jeapordy. I feel ashamed. I am scared. I had an HIV test nine days after my encounter and it was negative. How accurate is that??? I also got a head cold (sinus) about two weeks after and that scares me. I had one tonsil that hurt for two days and I am a month out. I also had horrible alIergies and a sinus headache for three days. I am paralyzed by fear and scared to get another one. The man I slept with "pulled-out" and I know that probably does not make a difference. I want to get another test at the six week mark. I was so stupid. I was lonely. Can someone tell me what my risks are? How accurate was the test at nine days? To make things worse, my brother has been living with HIV for 13 years and he is so mad at me that we are not speaking. I have no support right now and I am scared.
