I would like to know if there is a specific length of time someone should wait after having unprotected sex before they are tested for HIV. Is 6 or so months a good amount of time? How long can it be until the disease surfaces? Can it takes years, or would someone know they have it by then?

I had unprotected sex in march of 2005 and was at high risk of HIV exposure/infection. I was tested three times - ELISA only, no Western Blot - in the following three months. My last test was almost a full three months after potential exposure. I tested negative all three times.

However, I have had a number of strange symptoms over these past two years, none of which were present before my potential exposure. These include but are not limited to: peripheral neuropathy/paresthesia, occasional fasciculation and/or involuntary tremors, and various skin lesions. And this week I tested positive for Tuberculosis via a PPD (tuberculin sensitivity/Mantoux test) test.

I would like to know how likely it is that my positive PPD is a result of immunosupression from HIV infection. I cannot think of any other reason for testing positive (discarding the possibility of a false positive), and do plan on being tested for HIV as soon as possible, but I would like to hear from others first.

Thank you

I was reading the story on the guy who came back to the US with a terrible case of TB. It sounds like he was just trying to get home to get help.

According to the story, The CDC told him to stay there when they contacted him about the severity of his TB. I think they should have done more to bring him home. Possibly they should have arranged travel for him in a "germ safe" environment as to not to infect the other passengers.

I thought one of the jobs of the government was to protect our citizens. We are blowing all these billions of dollars in Iraq but can't care of our own.

I recently found out that I have hpv. I am worried that the guy at the front desk at my clinic might have access to that information. Well the problem with this is that I made the horrible mistake of sleeping with him. Although maybe he has a right to know, I can't discuss that with him because he doesn't comprehend certain things and he has a lot of problems. In other words he is a moron/stalker/psychotic type of a guy and he might just assume i gave him hpv without knowing all the facts. Since I have been going to this clinic for years I don't want him gossiping about my personal buisness with the other employees. So does he know?
