PRAISE GOD I'M CLEAR, I'M CLEAR!!!
She showed me my results from last time and basically they tested 4 different things to test for HIV - in my results 1 came back equivocal (inconclusive), 1 came back a weak positive and 2 came back negative. In the second set of tests they were looking for the weak positive to come back as a definite strong positive, but this time it came back as a big fat negative!! Hurrah!! The equivocal result has still come back equivocal but they say that is nothing to worry about, it just happens sometimes as we all have different antibodies in us at any given time. She's taken one final blood sample today (at my request) just to triple check but she fully expects everything to be clear and she said she'll just phone me with the results on Friday and I can stop worrying.
So just to clarify...I'M CLEAR!!!!!
Words cannot express the relief I feel, it really has been the worst week of my life. My partner has been a tower of strength throughout, even though he has been in London and I have been in Sheffield, he really has shown his love and strength through this awful experience.
And finally I want to thank all of you for your wonderful words and thoughts, you have shown such kindness and compassion and it has meant so much. I really wasn't sure whether to post at all and I didn't for several days, but as Mike wisely said I really hope it helps out other women in the future who may find themselves faced with this situation. Thanks guys, you're the best!!
Now I can relax and enjoy the rest of my pregnancy and look forward to the arrival of my beautiful son or daughter in 5 months time!!
Thanks again all, you are all stars!! xxxxx
