Virus Load
The last time I had draw blood for test I was in the middle of a very strong seasonal flu, even had a little bit of fever. My results are back now. It shows 72500 viral load and 690 t-cell.

child exposure to dry blood
of hiv/hep exposure? should I wait 6 months and test him? are my fears unwarrented? Barbara McGovern, M... was reused. I think you should rest easy tonight knowing that your child is safe and sound. No testing...crap

weird timing or bad luck?

I have gone to the doctor 3 times now, did blood tests (other than stds since HIV wouldnt come up at the time anyway... to get a test done at around 6 weeks and if that ones negative then 3 months. I know it sounds crazy...crap
