I had unprotected sex six months ago. I’m getting tested tomorrow…but it will take a week or two before I get test results. AND I’m scared.

I read somewhere that women who do have HIV get chronic yeast infections because of their weakened immune system. Wouldn’t that mean I should’ve gotten sick from coming in contact with my neice who had the flu? Or gotten sick from my classmates who had colds or something? I haven’t gotten sick at all! (knock on wood)

Furthermore…I heard that if you don’t wait at least 9-10 for your yeast infection to be cured before having sex, it will come back again? So maybe all this time, I just haven’t cured it? My gyno prescribed these pills for me to take…it worked in the beginning..but now i feel immuned to it or something. I don’t know… someone help me!

FYI: I’m a 22 y/o female…I exercise a lot…I have a healthy diet (tofu, lean meat, veggies, whole wheat breads) and I do drink a lot with friends almost every weekend.
To Rea4154:
Yeast infections ARE ONE OF THE SYMPTOMS of HIV…I know that they are not the same. I know that yeast infections are not deadly. I never said that I was going to die from a yeast infection…but because I had concurrent yeast infections, I was worried that I was diagnosed with HIV (which I am not by the way…i just got my test results today..so YAY! on my part). You should read my question/details carefully…I’m not the idiot…you just made yourself look like a fool. By looking at your statistics…it seems like you only have 6% best answers…hmmm..i wonder why?

i currently have a yeast infection and am using an over the counter medication i began using it sunday night, and tested for pregnancy on monday. i dont mean to sound stupid asking this question but iv never had an infection before so know nothing about the product. my period is only 2 days late. i know i need to see a doctor but mine wont see me until july. so could the medication cause the test to come up negative?

I haven’t had any symptoms or problems, but I went to the gyno for a routine check up and they told me my test results came back positive for a yeast infection. When I was at the doc’s she did say my cervix was sensitive and there may have been an infection… so it makes sense. I just find it odd that I have had no symptoms. Is this normal?
