Any sex with monkies or sheep?

As far as the girls...don't worry so much about them. As long as they weren't total sluts that slept around, your chances of HIV are relatively low. It's very low on the STD list. I'd be more worried about herpes or ghonorrea. That's what really burns you in the end...

Dullard groans at awful joke.

Just go into the doctor's office expecting the absolute worst. That way, when something really bad happens, you were already ready for it. But, if something good happens, then it makes it that much better :D
I use that as an excuse to be a pessimist all the time. It makes perfect sense. You are never unprepared for bad things and almost always things turn out better than you hoped and thus you are always happy. Optimists never get their way (since nothing is ever perfect) and are always depressed that things aren't perfect all the time. They are never prepared for the worst and when the worst hits, they fall to pieces.

i have no idea what the 'incubation' period is for HIV is these days. I remember when my sister... now 35yrs old... had to do a huge high school report on HIV/AIDS and I helped her with it. The whole thing was pretty new back then and most of the information that was given back then has proven to be either incorrect or understated today.

edited for spelling errors.

For some reason I'm just really nervous.

I was nervous going for my test prior to getting hte marriage liscense and I never had unprotected sex or did drugs, etc. It's a normal reaction because even though chances of the HIV are slim, they still do exist from those times you don't remember (OK, maybe I did things I shouldn't have and barely remember it. :beer;). But anyways, it's normal to be nervous over this because when young, you don't think about dieing in 10 years.

My ways have been reformed already. I never bareback it, and wont unless I'm married or in a serious relationship where we both go get tested together. I figure that's the only way.

I have actually slept with more then 15 women... But I'm not to sure of the exact number. probably 18 or so. I know I've worn a condom with all but 4 girls tho, and one was a virgin when I was a virgin. And I got tested for everything freshman year of college (2 years ago) and everything was cool. So really I've only had unprotected sex with 2 girls with unknown status, one was a girlfriend and one was a drunken mistake.
