Abnormal Pap test and HIV?

I had unprotected sex 2 years ago. I never got tested for STD's. I've been perfectly normal. However, I went back to get on birth control in March and I got a pap test. I guess it came back normal because I was never told any different. Here is my question...If I have HIV, my pap test would come back abnormal, right? If it happened 2 years ago, I think it would have shown up by now, right?? Please help!!

HIV infection does not appear on a PAP test unfortunately...

You need to take an Elisa Test. Two years is plenty of time, therefore it would show up right away (you are way passed the 2-3 month window period).

I wouldn't worry though, even though I am not an expert on the subject, my research has shown that HIV usually acompanies some other STD and is more likely to happen when there is another infection present (like Ghonorrea or Urithritis). Also, contrary to popular belief, most people DO have symptoms within the first two weeks which resemble Infectious Mononucliosis (The kissing disease); Swollen glands, high fever, etc...

To be on the safe side, see a doctor, don't post on the internet.

Just because they never called you doesn't mean you're ok you should have called them. It can take HIV 7 years to show up
