anxiety about pregnancy and hiv test?

In my past I have had unprotected sex with 3 men that were not my husband. I just gave blood for my routine hiv test with pregnancy. I am so worried, I am healthy, but I know it can lay dormant in your system for a long time. Those of you who already had the test, were you really anxious and did it turn out okay?

First of all, it can lay dormant for the first 6 months from contracting it. After that, a test result should be accurate. So if you’ve been tested before and it was ok, it’s probably going to be ok now. I was a little anxious about the test too, even though I really had no reason to be. But yes, it turned out negative.
I have to say I was a bit worried with this test too, I don’t Know why, but it came back fine.
I wasn’t really nervous because I had only been with my husband. He had been with two other girls way before we got together though and I knew those girls had kind of gotten around.. so I was a TINY bit worried.. even though I knew it would all turn out ok. And.. it did. Good luck and try not to worry.
I don’t sleep around and I never had surgery so I am not worried.
im 8 months preg. when i had my test, of course im was nervous. i just told myself, God has blessed me this far. ive had many partners in my past prior to my fiancee. don’t worry about it. if hiv is present, they have many ways of not passing it to your unborn child. im sure your baby will be fine as long as you follow all doc instructions.
I was slightly anxious, it could happen to anybody and I had sex with more men than you. The doctor told me not to get too worried. None of the partners that I had were bi-sexual or drug users (to my best knowledge) and it wasn’t too many more than 3. They could still have HIV, but weren’t high risk for it.
I was fine, dodged the bullet. My baby was great too.
Good luck to you and best of health to your growing family.
It’s the weirdest thing – I’ve been tested a few times just to be on the super safe side, and as soon as they draw the blood, I worry about it even though I wasn’t worried before. I start imagining what would happen if it came back positive and it makes me want to cry. Of course, they all came back negative.
