Well I was an idiot in the beginning of Feb 07 when I meet these 2 male friends on the internet. For the first 2 weeks of feb I slept with them. Then last week I found out that they are both HIV postive. Now I don't know how soon I should get tested or if how big of a chance I could be postive. Annoyumus testing in Ontario?

You should definitely get tested, BUT BEWARE. Because it takes up to 3-6 months and sometimes even a year before HIV antibodies are found in a person's system. So even if you test negative now, you should still get tested every 3 months for about a year since you are at high risk since these 2 guys were confirmed positive. And if you did not use a condom, your risks are very high. Do not sleep with anyone until you know or at least use a condom. I have made stupid choices like yours and I contracted HPV. It showed no symptoms for over a year. We all make dumb choices. No matter what happens, you are not alone. Just get tested as soon as possible, OR wait about 4 months and then get tested so you can know for sure.

well you have to get tested! do not be scared or embarssed. well hiv can be detected from 3 weeks- 6 months, its called the window period because you are not sure that you are infected. but take precautions and dont sleep with anyone anymore until you know. and keep getting tested in those time periods. hopefully you do not have it.
ps and if you used a condom there is still a big chance you can get it because every condom has very small holes that are 5 micros. but the virus Hiv is only.5 so the virus can get through regardless if you used a condom

it can take up to 6 months for the virus to show in your blood test results. I would get tested in 3 months and then the next three months. If it does not show up after 6 months you are clean. ontario???huh i don't know. factors also depend on if you used protection? was it vaginal? how many times you did it. etc. etc. and yes regardless of what people say the passibility of you contracting HIV does depend upon a lot of things. Don't freak out, becuase just becuase you did it with someone who has HIV does not mean you automatically have it. But do be more responsible in the future. Sometimes it takes people numerous sexual encounters to contract it, and sometimes the first encounter is enough. It's like playing russian roulet with your life. Please don't do it anymore.

as previously stated, you will need to wait at least 3 months before getting tested. regardless of what your chances are, even if they were only one in one hundred billion, you still need to get tested. if you are going to continue to be sexually active, you need to know these things. you don't need to put others at risk if you are positive...that's how these things spread and continue to thrive!! if you go to the cdc website, you can locate a free testing clinic in your area. results will be confidential...no one can get them but you, no matter your age.
if you had unprotected sex with both of them, then you should probably brace yourself for the result. i don't have a statistic for you, but your chances are pretty high. in the mean time, either dont' have sex at all or PRACTICE SAFE SEX. please dont make someone else have to go through what you're going through now.
good luck to you.

Stop with the Internet dating! Make an appointment with a physician or go immediately to a free clinic, as quickly as you can. TIME IS NOT ON YOUR SIDE!

Talk to a Dr at a clinic. You didn't even use protection?
