I totally get the anxiety - the month I was on PEP following a sexual assault by an IV drug user was a very frightening time. Waiting for my test results really was anxiety provoking at an already very vulnerable time. But hearing from you and learning more about HIV reduced that anxiety a lot. Thank you x

I hope those that go through this watch your videos, and find calmness in all this, and realize in the end, it'll be ok. Thank You!! ❤

As someone with OCD thank you so much for bringing attention to this health anxiety and for being so sympathetic. This carries over to all health anxieties (listening to you calmly dissect symptoms vs paranoia). You are helping so many of us
I had an exposure seventeen years ago. Since then, I've had over 5 negative tests at fairly regular intervals. I've also been a regular blood donor. I go through periods when I'm confident I don't have it, but then I feel sick and my mind immediately goes back to the possibility and I'm completely consumed by fear. I'm an otherwise rational person, but I can't seem to get past the fear. I'm in a new relationship now, he got sick and I'm terrified that I got him sick. I appreciate your efforts. 💚
It's sad that people are actually more scared of the stigma associated with hiv, instead of the actual disease. I wish more people would work towards ending this stigma.
My story has reached a new level. I no longer google symptoms but rather rare HIV variants like N or P. I think I have one of those and it is not detected in the routine tests. I am afraid of getting AIDS or that my children could be born with HIV. The doctors don't take me seriously because these types are so rare in Germany.
I just wanted to say I found your UA-cam channel about a year ago, can’t remember how or what lead me here but I’m so glad I got here. Prior to finding this channel I knew nothing about aids. Since watching and learning from you I have shared so much information even in just casual conversation. A friend of mines sister just tested positive after a long battle of testing and not knowing. I’m so thankful for you and your informational videos. What you’re doing is truly amazing and making a difference and now a lot of us follow you. You’re a very special woman and we all love you. Happy new year and cheers to 2021 xo
For everyone who’s going through this Sometimes you need to stand in front of a mirror and say to yourself ENOUGH ANXIETY you are not got to ruin my life ! ….. just know that anxiety, stress and overthinking could probably kill your before HIV or any other sickness in this world ….. So say enough is enough and move on !
Hi Jennifer and thanks for this great video which really addresses anxiety as well. Yes Googling can cause many problems and present issues you don’t have but bring on anxiety and stress that can make you sick alone!
I was in the same boat, it was really scary and it was really depressing i don’t mean to insult people who have it... I was convinced I had it and wasted time crying and hating myself but I’m clear.
Hey i have to tell something I had an horrible situation I am suffering hiv anxi With that I smoked hash After smoke . I have many problems to thing . I am so high i can not find the solution for everthing I shivered I want tell all about me it brings me near suside So guys dont smoke hash if your in situation hiv std anextcy thing about that you have hiv infection
I understand to a certain degree. I have hepatitis C and I also had a wicked spinal fusion in august because of it. I just got approved for treatment today. 🙌
I absolutely agree with you. She is so amazing and beautiful person, willing to help all people around the world. ❤️🌹🌺❤️❤️❤️❤️ I pray for a definite cure... Nobody deserves this kind of illness and stigma that goes with this virus. Love You Jennifer as a person.
Hi Jennifer I was exposed 9 months ago from a positive girl I tested negative antibody at 3 months and 6 months am so scared I usually ask the girl up now why she exposed me up to now am so scared please help everyone is talking about me now
You don't have HIV, you're negative. If she's undetectable (on treatment), your risk was zero (there is no way she could transmit). If she's not on treatment, depending on her viral load, the odds of a woman transmitting to a man are 1 in 2500 exposures. I'm not sure why you are scared, you don't have it. Let it go and move on with your life. :)
Hi jennifer, I'm from Miami fl a place where HIV has a high prevalence rate. I do believe you when you say heterosexual men who dont share needles are low risk. Iv met two heterosexual males who to my knowledge weren't IVD, who were with HIV positive woman who I later found out the woman were unaware of their status as well. One man was with the woman first 9 months... the other was with his partner for 2 years and both men had tested negative, so yes I do think there is something to what your saying.
I'm a sexually active gay man in a big city. Now I'm very careful and always use condoms but I wasn't always that way. There was a time I was so paranoid I was having all kind of crazy symptoms: from yeast infections to night sweats. I was terrified and then the results were negative. I get scared every now and then even though I'm much more careful than I used to and I still get tested twice a year. I guess that's part of being a responsible adult now.
I had a potential exposure last Sunday and a few days later I've felt flu like symptoms, started Googling, and sure enough freaked myself out with so much stress that it made my symptoms worse. I've been binge watching your videos and they are so helpful and calming. I'm going to get tested this week and praying for the best. Thank you!
@miguel Lima I recently found out not all facilities have the updated testing kits. I had to ask my doctor which generation they had and they still had 3rd gen.
Hello jennifer! I would like to thank you for the information you gave to your viewers. It makes us anxious or overthinker people to overcome our anxiety. To share my story, I am a heterosexual male but I am not that active in sex like I have only 1 partner each year. But recently After I broke up with my ex, by the way my ex have a child and her ex did have a lot of sex partners at the time they were together. After five months of break up with her ex we met and have a relationship eventually we have sex not long ago when we first met. Then our relationship only lasted for about 3 mos. Then After we broke up, I want to know what my hiv status is. After 7 weeks we broke up I get tested and its negative. But I have doubts that I'm positive and lucky for me I watched your videos in youtube and I must say that you are the most informative and accurate person regarding to the hiv information. And thanks to you I'm now free from anxiety to my hiv status. Thank you so much!
I’m a catastrophic thinker as well. There have been several times I’ve been convinced I have hiv. My recent time was having slept with m ex wife who I later discovered was a needle drug user and had slept with other druggies. Between sleeping with those high risk people and needle drug user I assumed she was at high risk. After sleeping with her about 2 weeks later I had all over body aches among other symptoms. I was sure I had it. I was too scared to get tested. Finally worked up the nerve to test a year and a half later and it was negative.
I google the symptoms and I was going crazy, so I went to the emergency because of anxiety they took blood samples just to find out there was troponin in my blood due to, too my worrying I spend 6 days in the hospital, I am hiv negative please don't drive yourself crazy like I did just get tested.
I have multiple autoimmune diseases and on biologicals. It took me a year to cycle out of yeast and utii I actually had to treat the yeast every week for over the year. It happens

Anxiety is real, and freaking me out, I had condomless sex with this beautiful young woman, but I learned from her cousin that she was born hiv positive, i asked her about this but she first denied,a day or two days later she called me and said it is true, she was born hiv positive ,she was afraid of telling me, she has been on medication for 3 years, but I'm freaked out, I am 100% heterosexual, i don't know the odds to be tested positive,I'm waiting for 4 weeks to go for testing,...but most of your videos have helped me relaxe

@@AC-kp3fs I had one sexual exposure late December last year. i had epstein barr virus in june. I had many HIV RNA PCRs test ran in the last 9 months all not detected. Seriously stressed now thinking my HIV antibodies could be delayed because of epstein barr virus. My cd4s are 1,570 so I'd be so confused on how I'd be immnocompromised or have a weakened immune system with those numbers. Along with the mutiple HIV 4th generation tests that were all negative over the last 9 months Thoughts?
Hi ma'am am from India 30 years old. I dn knw English very well. I have question please replay me am totally scared 😢. My exposure was before 5 months. Today I took test result came non-reactv. Is test accurate or not!! Need any more test? Your video made me encourage taking test thanks ma'am 😍😍.. You are great human being 👍👍👍..
Guys please please stop freaking out. HIV is extremely rare and is mostly diagnosed among IV needle drug users and gay or bisexual men. I freaked myself out for a year thinking i had HIV and started to stress my mind out and i develop every single symptom of HIV and it controlled and ruined my life. I didn’t sleep or eat and i was planning my suicide. When i got tested i came out NEGATIVE despite having every symptom including mouth sores and oral trush. When you give your mind the power to do this you will develop symptoms and it will cause you to spiral. Please just stop freaking out and get tested to put your mind at ease. And stop bothering people who are diagnosed with HIV about your paranoia.
@@zackattack406 I had joint pain, muscle pain, oral thrush, mouth sores, sore throat, coughing, swollen lymph nodes and TMI- but a yeast infection. I still turned out negative and the symptoms i was experiencing are due to something else unrelated. Believe the test because if you’re negative you’re negative especially after that many months. It’s not hiding in your body it’s not there - as jennifer says
Hi, I had my first sexual experience back in February and the girl I was with had so many symptoms and very sick for a while and I also received many symptoms(especially itchy throat, oral thrush and mouth sores) I was using protection and removed it later but I’ve been having anxiety since March. The girl I was with says she doesn’t have it and she went to a hospital and says she’s fine. Considering I have social anxiety disorder you can imagine how much stress I have and also have no one I can reach out to

Thank you for these videos, I was told that there’s a rapid test that pricks your finger and it can detect it after 30 days instead of having to wait 3 months. Is this true?
Most rapid test are conclusive after 3 months. If you want a test that’s a bit accurate after 30 days would be the 4th generation blood test. It’s conclusive (so I’ve heard) at 6 weeks. However, most guidelines say 3 months just to be sure!
I don’t know but I find this person writing to you so rude and insensitive. To burden you with her BS is so outrageous to me. You have the patience of a saint. When she started listing her symptoms I wanted to reach through the screen and slap her. I’m a heterosexual woman living with HIV and I just couldn’t image people shoving their crap down my throat like this. Anyway I’m glad I found your channel because like you said most people don’t talk about it and I rarely ever hear of women my age living with HIV. Also you’re not wrong. I’ve been with my husband for 20 years and he’s negative and we don’t use condoms. So yeah a woman passing it to a man is practically zero.
The issue is that there is mixed information even till this day in 2021 , some HIV professionals say 3-6 months window period some others say 1 year to be conclusive negative results... some say yes you can get it from a woman and also thru oral sex others say no it’s a slim chance .... So you get anxiety from the mix info since you don’t know who to believe 🤷🏻♂️
Hey, any thoughts about how to cure HPV? You talked about HIV and HSV not being the only curable, thanks! I love your videos even tho I'm not HIV+, I've done 5 tests since 6 months ago after unprotected sex with a girl and I'm not bi, so I've never been with a man so yeah, your videos are so helpful.
Hi Jennifer you are one of the courageous women. I've seen some of your UA-cam's videos and was really amazing and I am new to your channel . I wanna ask you about one of my father who slept with a positive HIV woman. He experience some of things that you explain on the other video. Symptoms like headaches,like a burning fire into limbs knots and feel tiredness and etc..So on the 27th /09/21 he went to clinic and test and the result was negative. But he is facing the symptoms like I mentioned above. I'm from Papua New Guinea and your catches my eye.Your educational thoughts are very helpful. Can you explain little bit about how my father expose symptoms of Hiv because he slept with a positive HIV woman.
Hi Jenn, I really love what you're doing!👍👍👍 I'm a straight male and circumcized. I had an unprotected 2 minutes vagina sex with a woman of an unknow hiv status. I asked about her status and she said I should not be worried about anything. Two weeks later I went for an Hiv test and the result was neg, but I'm still very anxious about my chances of contracting the virus. Still planning to get tested at the end of the month. Jenn, What are my chances of contracting the virus? Also, how can I support the channel? I'm messaging you from Shanghai, China.
This woman could have just gotten a couple of instant 20 minute tests for free in the mail. No blood, just take an oral swab. Whatever it comes back as, then go and take a blood test (or donate blood). Boom. You’re done.
Can anyone give me advice Im on my anxiety I had my last exposure 2019 unpro and Jan or Feb of 2020 I had oral sex I tested twice in different clinic. the first test was April11,2022 and the second was May4,2022 both of my result was non reactive I'm still worried if these test is conclusive enough? Big thanks for your response:((
I just wanted to say that I like what you re doing helping people fight anxiety I did an antibody test four months after exposure and turned out negative after that I started to have some symptoms such as a small lymph node on neck and tiredness and body aches anxiety started to rule over me so I did another test today to clarify myself hope it turns out negative waiting is killing me two more hours for the test answer to come
had unprotected sex last march 3 and after 5days march 8 i got mild fever and after 2 days my throat got something stuck like little tickle.. after today march 16, 7 days after the fever subside like almost gone but i got one small mouth sore .. but my partner claimed hes on prep and got his last hiv test real time pcr which is negative last feb 7.. is there any chance this could be hiv acute infection?

Anxiety can causes many mild to severe somatic symptoms (anxiety/panic can make you feel like you can experiencing signs and symptoms of an ailment or injury). There are hundreds. Some of those symptoms that people attribute to HIV could be CAUSED by the anxiety about HIV.

Ive read atleast 35 days. But apparently even that is not enough. I think there's a practical timeline and the conservative timeline which is standard 3 months from cdc. But people say that's for 3rd gen tests.
usually acute symptoms only last for a few weeks... go get checked out and mention that you may have been exposed to hiv but tell them your symptoms and your length of symptoms. You probably don't have it. What are your symptoms?

From that moment i done 5 Eclia 4th test hiv1,2 and all go negative. A recent p24 separatly test is negative and i ve made about 8 mth ago a wb test for hiv 1 which was also negative....

Or if there was/is low (not detectable level) maybe antibody are not enought produces to react?! I mention that after that infection i done a fenotyping and cd4 was 1190 cells but cd8 was over limit at 1200(800 beeeing maximum) and i repeat the test a year ago and than was in normal limits cd 8 at 780 but cd 4 was 996 cells...but cd4/cd8 was higher second time...was 1.4 in regard with inflamation time where was 1.04...so it is so hard for me to can not know and find what infection i have....also hbs, hcv, hba are negative, toxoplasma etc negative...a single igg test from ebv a year ago was 60 times over limit...but ebv is so common infection..and the analysis was an igg...also at infection time, igm for lyme was incert but wb for lyme go strong negative...so...i am so confuse and very consourn..thank you very mouch for your response😀

I don’t know if they have HIV but for sure this lady’s health is not okay if she has digestive problems, skin rashes, warts etc...so many things can lead to this. I have a different autoimmune condition that is not transmitted through sexual activity and I’ve dealt with all of the issues listed. I dunno...instead of just saying “welp, that has nothing to do with HIV...” it would be more helpful to suggest “You should go get a checkup for your health.” It could be any number of conditions including Crohn’s, Hashimoto’s, Grave’s...or a combination of a number of things. The main point is...if a person feels unwell...especially for weeks, months, or years...go get some blood tests run! Yeah, don’t be afraid...knowledge is power...but why sit around waiting and letting a condition fester? Better safe than sorry. And I think it’s important to point out (as you did using different words) that HIV is no longer a death sentence...there was a time when it was. But the public perception was never focused on or changed so many of us who grew up with that message have it engrained in us. So if, “worst case scenario” (which it’s not) this woman does have HIV...it’s manageable.
M B so I caught chlamyida 4 weeks ago and got it treated now I feel bad having anxiety thinking I have hiv Bc I know nothing about stds or hiv 🤦🏽♂️ I need help
@@stratovariusforever hi, I may have messaged you elsewhere sorry. Is 8 weeks also a reliable time for 4th gen test? I ask this because I've read somewhere that after antigen declines there could be another window period where antibodies aren't enough to be tested. So the efficacy of 4tg gen test is high at 3-5 weeks when Ag is present but after that it all depends on how well your body responds to those Ag by way of Ab. I hope I'm able to covey my doubt

Hi Jennifer I was exposed 9 months ago from a positive girl I tested negative antibody at 3 months and 6 months am so scared I usually ask the girl up now why she exposed me up to now am so scared please help everyone is talking about me now
You don't have HIV, you're negative. If she's undetectable (on treatment), your risk was zero (there is no way she could transmit). If she's not on treatment, depending on her viral load, the odds of a woman transmitting to a man are 1 in 2500 exposures. I'm not sure why you are scared, you don't have it. Let it go and move on with your life. :)
@@Pozleigh thanks am a nursing student let me try to move on God bless you
@@patrickmose4681 I hope you’re negative. How are you now brother?
How are you now?
Hi jennifer, I'm from Miami fl a place where HIV has a high prevalence rate. I do believe you when you say heterosexual men who dont share needles are low risk. Iv met two heterosexual males who to my knowledge weren't IVD, who were with HIV positive woman who I later found out the woman were unaware of their status as well. One man was with the woman first 9 months... the other was with his partner for 2 years and both men had tested negative, so yes I do think there is something to what your saying.
I think this depends on the size of the package
@@Powpowpoow what package
@@__-si9ux keep asking and I'll shove it up your ass
I'm a sexually active gay man in a big city. Now I'm very careful and always use condoms but I wasn't always that way. There was a time I was so paranoid I was having all kind of crazy symptoms: from yeast infections to night sweats. I was terrified and then the results were negative. I get scared every now and then even though I'm much more careful than I used to and I still get tested twice a year. I guess that's part of being a responsible adult now.
If you only know how much you've helped me , you won't believe it . I wanna write my story to you.
I had a potential exposure last Sunday and a few days later I've felt flu like symptoms, started Googling, and sure enough freaked myself out with so much stress that it made my symptoms worse. I've been binge watching your videos and they are so helpful and calming. I'm going to get tested this week and praying for the best. Thank you!
Please make sure to get 2 more test every 3 or 6 months to be on the safe side. Good luck

@@desiburks5398 so how long is the testing a year then?
@miguel Lima I recently found out not all facilities have the updated testing kits. I had to ask my doctor which generation they had and they still had 3rd gen.
How long does it take to reach an advanced stage where your body stops producing antibodies, so antibody tests become useless.

Hello jennifer! I would like to thank you for the information you gave to your viewers. It makes us anxious or overthinker people to overcome our anxiety. To share my story, I am a heterosexual male but I am not that active in sex like I have only 1 partner each year. But recently After I broke up with my ex, by the way my ex have a child and her ex did have a lot of sex partners at the time they were together. After five months of break up with her ex we met and have a relationship eventually we have sex not long ago when we first met. Then our relationship only lasted for about 3 mos. Then After we broke up, I want to know what my hiv status is. After 7 weeks we broke up I get tested and its negative. But I have doubts that I'm positive and lucky for me I watched your videos in youtube and I must say that you are the most informative and accurate person regarding to the hiv information. And thanks to you I'm now free from anxiety to my hiv status. Thank you so much!
I’m a catastrophic thinker as well. There have been several times I’ve been convinced I have hiv. My recent time was having slept with m ex wife who I later discovered was a needle drug user and had slept with other druggies. Between sleeping with those high risk people and needle drug user I assumed she was at high risk. After sleeping with her about 2 weeks later I had all over body aches among other symptoms. I was sure I had it. I was too scared to get tested. Finally worked up the nerve to test a year and a half later and it was negative.
Bro can i talk to u pls
I love you, I think you are one of the best person on this earth, so kind and so genuine god bless your heart !!! you are amazing !!!
I google the symptoms and I was going crazy, so I went to the emergency because of anxiety they took blood samples just to find out there was troponin in my blood due to, too my worrying I spend 6 days in the hospital, I am hiv negative please don't drive yourself crazy like I did just get tested.
I have multiple autoimmune diseases and on biologicals. It took me a year to cycle out of yeast and utii I actually had to treat the yeast every week for over the year. It happens
U OK now.your smile gives me a great pleasure.God bless u & I pray 4 u everyday,keep smiling.

My exposure was before 5 months. Today I took test result came non-reactv. Is test accurate or not!! Need any more test? Your video made me encourage taking test thanks ma'am 😍😍.. You are great human being 👍👍👍..
what was your exposure friend?
Guys please please stop freaking out. HIV is extremely rare and is mostly diagnosed among IV needle drug users and gay or bisexual men. I freaked myself out for a year thinking i had HIV and started to stress my mind out and i develop every single symptom of HIV and it controlled and ruined my life. I didn’t sleep or eat and i was planning my suicide. When i got tested i came out NEGATIVE despite having every symptom including mouth sores and oral trush. When you give your mind the power to do this you will develop symptoms and it will cause you to spiral. Please just stop freaking out and get tested to put your mind at ease. And stop bothering people who are diagnosed with HIV about your paranoia.
Just shared this in my Instagram story. Yep, your mind will convince you that you have it.
Yep my mind convinced me i have it. Month 10 still negative. Still have swelling.
@@zackattack406 I had joint pain, muscle pain, oral thrush, mouth sores, sore throat, coughing, swollen lymph nodes and TMI- but a yeast infection.

The girl I was with says she doesn’t have it and she went to a hospital and says she’s fine. Considering I have social anxiety disorder you can imagine how much stress I have and also have no one I can reach out to

I am glad u made this channel❤❤💖
Thank you for these videos, I was told that there’s a rapid test that pricks your finger and it can detect it after 30 days instead of having to wait 3 months. Is this true?
Test results will always depend on viral load.
Most rapid test are conclusive after 3 months. If you want a test that’s a bit accurate after 30 days would be the 4th generation blood test. It’s conclusive (so I’ve heard) at 6 weeks. However, most guidelines say 3 months just to be sure!
I think sometimes people can get addicted to anxiety so they don’t have to look at the rest of their life.
Is soaking night sweats a symptom of hiv?
I don’t know but I find this person writing to you so rude and insensitive. To burden you with her BS is so outrageous to me. You have the patience of a saint. When she started listing her symptoms I wanted to reach through the screen and slap her. I’m a heterosexual woman living with HIV and I just couldn’t image people shoving their crap down my throat like this. Anyway I’m glad I found your channel because like you said most people don’t talk about it and I rarely ever hear of women my age living with HIV. Also you’re not wrong. I’ve been with my husband for 20 years and he’s negative and we don’t use condoms. So yeah a woman passing it to a man is practically zero.
Do you use medication ?
I am one of those overthinkinkers
The issue is that there is mixed information even till this day in 2021 , some HIV professionals say 3-6 months window period some others say 1 year to be conclusive negative results... some say yes you can get it from a woman and also thru oral sex others say no it’s a slim chance ....
So you get anxiety from the mix info since you don’t know who to believe 🤷🏻♂️
Believe me. Simple. I know what I'm my shit.

Hey Jennifer
What's up
Anxiety can causes many mild to severe somatic symptoms (anxiety/panic can make you feel like you can experiencing signs and symptoms of an ailment or injury). There are hundreds. Some of those symptoms that people attribute to HIV could be CAUSED by the anxiety about HIV.

Hi Jennifer I just got my HIV 4th generation test exactly 10 days after the potential exposure and it came back negative. Should I test again in another 2-3 weeks or is this test conclusive?
You should wait at least 2-3 months after a potential exposure and then wait another 3 months after that to do a second test. Good luck and stay safe!
Really your negativity is at 2 to 6 weeks so wait than you will be negative

Or if there was/is low (not detectable level) maybe antibody are not enought produces to react?!

Have you been to Africa? Most men get it from women.
Going through the same thing .can I ask you a question
I don’t know if they have HIV but for sure this lady’s health is not okay if she has digestive problems, skin rashes, warts etc...so many things can lead to this. I have a different autoimmune condition that is not transmitted through sexual activity and I’ve dealt with all of the issues listed. I dunno...instead of just saying “welp, that has nothing to do with HIV...” it would be more helpful to suggest “You should go get a checkup for your health.” It could be any number of conditions including Crohn’s, Hashimoto’s, Grave’s...or a combination of a number of things. The main point is...if a person feels unwell...especially for weeks, months, or years...go get some blood tests run! Yeah, don’t be afraid...knowledge is power...but why sit around waiting and letting a condition fester? Better safe than sorry. And I think it’s important to point out (as you did using different words) that HIV is no longer a death sentence...there was a time when it was. But the public perception was never focused on or changed so many of us who grew up with that message have it engrained in us. So if, “worst case scenario” (which it’s not) this woman does have HIV...it’s manageable.

@@stratovariusforever hi, I may have messaged you elsewhere sorry. Is 8 weeks also a reliable time for 4th gen test? I ask this because I've read somewhere that after antigen declines there could be another window period where antibodies aren't enough to be tested. So the efficacy of 4tg gen test is high at 3-5 weeks when Ag is present but after that it all depends on how well your body responds to those Ag by way of Ab. I hope I'm able to covey my doubt
