She's obsessing and being a drama/attention whore.
Tell her that it's extremely unlikely (afterall, she tested negative and I think HIV test is standard in hospitals), and if she's really that worried, get tested or shut up already.
OR
Tell her that she's right. She probably has AIDS and is going to die soon. It's sarcastic as hell, but gets the point across that she's being silly.

The only thing she could be at risk of is HIV. For peace of mind she should go and get a test, you can do it under a fake name ( I did!) and get same day results.
When you have blood taken for a hospital test it isn't routinely checked for HIV, so your friend can't rely on her blood test for another issue being a 'make do' HIV test.
It's extremely unlikely she's HIV positive, but in this day and age the sensible thing is to have the test. A close friend tried to talk me out of having a test done when I felt I needed it. It bugged me for years and she routinely told me not to have one. Getting it done was the biggest relief ever ... and we're no longer friends.

The only way to know for sure is to have a complete physical. It's routine, nothing the doctors haven't had requested before. Going to a GYN would be an immediate necessity. Now they will test for a plethera of viruses, and HIV is one of them. There is no shame in asking to have the test. It is much better than not knowing. Plus, she should be going to a GYN every year for a check up, if she has anything, and she is passing it on to others, who will pass it on to others, that's how women get HPV that turns into cancer! Tell your friend to put a fire under her *** and get to the doctor already!

well it was very good of her to stop when she noticed, and also get all the tests done too.
If she dont do nothing about this hiv paranoia she will drive herself crazy, and probably end up losing you. try and give her a stern telling saying to just go and do the test to put both of you at rest. x

i think you should both go at the same time then ur friend is more at ease or go with her because she is ur best friend and all.if she is more comforable with women then find her one but if i was in ur shoes i would go with her and take the test even if i didnt do anything at least my best friend would know that i did the test also.

not all stds are asymoptomatic(no manifestations). if your friend really had an std, the symoptoms would have appear weeks after the intercourse. to be sure, convince your friend to have it checked. consulting your ob-gyne will mean no harm after all. goodluck

tell her to get a life, get it checked or shut the fork up. youve showed concern, but at some point it becomes a chore... and it pushes the boundaries of friendship...
