Im a 23 year old
woman. I have a 2 year old son from a marriage, but am now divorced. I
myself engaged in some very risky behavior before I got married. About
a week before I found out I was pregnant I started to notice some little
sores on the inside of my mouth. So I looked it up on the web to see what
it could be from....Everything that I read talked about HIV/AIDS, I was
terrified. I soon convinced myself and my husband that we were going to
die. I didnt know much about the disease at this point and just went completely
crazy. Well I went and got tested and it came back Neg THANK GOD! I always
vowed I would never ever have unprotected sex again. EVER!
My Ex and I eventually went our separate ways and got a divorce. I then
started dating again and found myself having a one night stand UNPROTECTED!!!
What was I thinking???? I was SO SO SO mad at myself after all I went
through with the last test! Then I ended up in a relationship with a guy
that had a shady past and was very secretive about everything. He admitted
to me that he was an IV drug user for 2 years and had only been off of
it for about 6 months...he swore up and down that he never shared needles.
We had already engaged in unprotected sex about 10-15 times, but he had
never ejaculated. We dated about 2 months and immediately after we broke
up I went and got tested. It came back NEG, due to the window period I
will go back in 6 months but my doc all but assured me that I was fine
bcs it had been over 6 weeks since the "risky" behavior. I am
now dating someone new and we ALWAYS use protection and ALWAYS plan too.
I will never ever make the mistake again of trusting someones words over
my own health!!!
I just want everyone to know that HIV/AIDS is nothing to be messed with,
it is real and it can happen to anyone. Is that intimate moment worth
it? Please use protection! You are so worth it. Oh and the famous lines
of "It wont stay up if I wear a condom" DONT BELIEVE IT, bcs
amazingly when you refuse unless protection is involed all of the sudden
he finds out he can wear condoms after all!!. Also the "Im allergic"
is a fav for some too. Well to fix that you buy some Sheep skin condoms
and then put a latex over it. Problem solved. Stay safe everyone, I hope
this story inspires at least one person to change their habits!!
