My next question is this....how do you deal with teh fact that your H could be bringing home a disease? I'm a new Nurse and Sexual diseases is a subject i deal with daily in the hospital and I prided myself on knowing Ken adn I were each otehrs only sexual partner. I no longer have that and fear everything. They one had one time together so the odds are slim but as a nurse i have treated patients that had sex just once and were dieing becasue of it. SO aside form getting him tested which he has agreed to what can i do to deal with this? It can take a year to get fully cleared for the AIDS virus. So how do i ever make love to him....keep in mind My heart wants very much to be with my husband in that way...if only for the comfort.

My W only had "one time" but we will be living with the STD she caught for the rest of our lives.<P>I can't offer you any real advice, but I wanted you to know that you are not alone.<P>God Bless

There are ways that you can make it erotic, so experiment. Mutual masturbation, recieving oral sex, etc, can all be quite wonderful, so get creative. <BR>The cdc is still recommending the three tests: asap, 3 mos and 6 mos. Other countries have long used the 1 yr mark. The info I have states that conversion rate between 6 mos and 12 mos is less than 1/10 of 1%-mind you, that is from the cdc. <BR>Be safe. I can understand about the comfort, the actual feelings you have, but you need to take this very very seriously. No slip-ups.
