I asked this guy i know very well, to help me make a baby. We dated ten years ago and I guess we still like each other somewhat.My fertility doctor told me if he (the doctor) provides the donor it will be much more expensive so i asked a friend. He said yes .<\/p>\n<p>So my doctor tested both of us and his was HIV positive. We hadn&#8217;t have sex in ten years but we had been French kissing lately since we started talking again.<\/p>\n<p>I went to my doctor and told him that i had been kissing this guy. The doctor said that the risk is BASICALLY  zero that I had contracted the virus. He said he will do the test in three months just to ease my mind. I am waiting but I can&#8217;t sleep in the meanwhile.<\/p>\n<p>Lately, I have been having all the signs of a person going through seroconversion. Two weeks after exposure I developed an earache and I still have it after one month. My lymph nodes are swollen in my neck and in my thighs cough and cold.<\/p>\n<p>I had the flu and while I had that I had a fever, chills and night sweats.<br \/>\nThe doctor diagnosed me with pneumonia after a chest xray. I took all the antibiotics and it went away.After the flu went away( in one week) my nodes are still painful.I still have the earache.<\/p>\n<p>My doctor had just did a test on me a month ago because I had decided on infertility treatments.I WAS NEGATIVE.<\/p>\n<p>The doctor said this is the worst flu season and I shouldn&#8217;t worry myself.
