The one that you should worry about is your fiance low sex drive. I don’t know how you can cope with it unless you having 4 children to keep you busy without thinking about sex.
My advice to you is learn how to stimulate or increase your wife sex drive
Haha how sure are you? Doctor said there is a possibility that I’m 5% positive but the test results that show Indeterminate suggests leaning towards negative.

No, this Indeterminate result test was taken before the incident for a separate occasion that was 5 weeks post exposure with a ML In Phuket.
Hi bros, small update. Went to the hospital on Monday and thought I wanted to request a PCR test just to see if I’m indeed positive from my 8 may exposure, if not why Indeterminate 2x. Reached there, the doctor didn’t suggest anything and even tried to make it seem like it’s nothing worrying. So I just asked about my results and what to do next? He told me since I’m on pep, testing now even with PCR is not appropriate since 1) PCR is very expensive and I’ll be testing again regardless by the end of jul and 2) not conclusive for me 13 June exposure despite being on pep.
So he told me to just continue with my medication for now till mid July and retest again at the end after 6 weeks. And just told he got other experts to see my exposure, symptoms and results and they all said 95% negative. 5% positive. he said the reason why Im not taking immediate PCR is cause I’m being treated like someone who’s on PEP medication and not a potential acute hiv patient.
My anxiety already so high and I’m having daily depression just thinking about trauma from all these. For everyone saying I’ll go back to ML or FJ, I won’t. This whole thing has taught me a very very hard lesson. And it’s not because I will put negative but the indeterminate results and no answers for 6 weeks until testing is what breaks you mentally. You over check for symptoms, you check every inch on your body and all these. Really not worth that pleasure.
So I won’t be posting anything until I get my results on the end of Jul early Aug.
As to other bros out there, please practice safe sex and even if it’s safe sex, make sure your cap is properly sealed (as it did for me as well but here am I with 2 Indeterminate results).
Okay. Just an update. Tested negative at 45 days after exposure and 2 weeks post pep. But my story is something that I feel should be shared cause it’s something rather strange.
I had three separate HIV screening tests come back reactive. Both ones that I did after my 2nd exposure and 3rd after pep and window, which is extremely rare, but at the confirmatory tests which includes an HIV antibody differentiation test and a viral load (PCR) test were negative and undetectable. The lab noted the reactivity was likely due to non-specific immune response, not actual infection. I was reviewed by an infectious disease specialist who confirmed I’m HIV-negative. Despite multiple reactive screenings, my case is a rare example of persistent false positives, and follow-up testing is routine, not because of ongoing suspicion.
So for those bros who tested positive on self test kit or those free test at Kelantan road, please don’t panic. High chances especially in Singapore, its a false positive. I even asked my doctors why am I constantly testing positive on the initial screening, they said my blood is quite rare and that it always lights up like a Christmas tree. This has caused me unnecessary stress, anxiety and depression for 2 months and wish this on no one. Lucky for me, if I go for early parenthood, can explain this to the doctors there about my situation rather than my wife accuse me of u know what.
So to all bros there, doesn’t mean you wear protection you’re entirely safe unless you happen to be like me 1 in 500 people to have this genetic makeup. If possible, abstain from sex. If cannot, check your condom 100% everytime and assess if you need to go for emergency pep if there was a compromise.
And to all the bros who tell me to focus more on my wifey, yes, this setback has waken the fuck up off me. Very thankful to the kind support and funny comments on here. Stay safe and always remember cap one. Raw is war. I repeat, RAW is WAR! Don’t even think about it
