Since I went through the trouble of making a thread on it a few days ago–I thought I should make this thread, just in case anyone wanted to know…

The bloodwork from the hospital came back HIV negative–which produced a -huge- sigh of relief in me. However–being an antibody test and all, it’s been suggested that I get another test done in 6 months, just to make sure.

But since the chances of my infection were slim anyway…I definately feel a whole lot better about it all.

So today I live, to die another day. 🙂

I went and found the other [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=126718) so I’d know what you’re referring to, and I have to say, I’m very happy for you.

Good News!!  
🙂  
Now don’t blow off the follow-up test, it’s nowhere near as stressful and a **big** relief when it’s over.
