@rabbit4204 You asked for advice and opinions, you were given advice and opinions. You don't like the advice and opinions, and now you're arguing and wanting everyone to stop responding... Makes total sense. :-?
If you can't see WHY you got the responses the way you did, then you really need to get some help. You don't get to chastise someone for the way they criticize your awful decision.
As soon as I got my head out of my ass and stopped doing drugs I got tested. Immediately. Was I thrilled about it? Nope. I didn't want to believe there was a chance I had such a disease. But I knew I made shitty choices and I knew I had to find out. I didn't go near my so (now husband) until I knew my results were negative.

Yeah, that's why I am so deeply disgusted by this OP. I had a bf that I thought loved me (I expected to marry him). Then one day he told me that he engaged in seriously risky behavior and never bothered to test himself before having sex with me.
I was devistated. How can someone tell you every day that they love you, but knowingly KNOWINGLY put your life in extreme danger? The answer? They can't. He didn't love me, he loved himself. I think he was so narcissistic that he wasn't capable of loving anyone. I dropped that POS and ran for my life.

And then you found all of us :x
I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm very happy that people can be charged criminally if they knowingly risk another person. Too bad you can't be charged for being a self absorbed dumbass.
My straight bitches were telling me about this post but I forgot to go look it up...now I missed all the "fun". I will put that in quotes because what the OP did is actually really serious and really shitty, but trying to get her to see the light is always fun...I see my straight bitches took care if it though.
I didn't want my head patted. I wanted to know if I would have been notified right away, pretty cut and dry. I didn't ask for a lecture on my irresponsibility. Thanks though, moms.
it didnt cross your mind that you could call the doctors yourself? In three weeks?
OP - it's been 3 weeks since I had my prenatal testing. I was kind of wild and crazy in my past, and I'm worried I might have HIV or something. Will the doctor call me?
It's just so much better to read the original idiocracy.. Thanks for the recap though!
Okay so for whatever reason, since I got my bloodwork done 3 weeks ago, I've been a complete nervous wreck about my prenatal bloodwork results.... Particularly for the HIV test.
I'll admit, I had a few wild times in my teens where I wasn't so smart in my sexual decisions. Judge if you must. It is what it is. But I've been in a stable relationship for the last 3 years, and we're now expecting our first child.
I go back to the doctor on Thursday for my monthly ultrasound and I'm terrified of what she's going to say about my bloodwork.
Do you think she wait til my appointment to tell me bad news if there were any? Or would she call me right away if there was a major issue with my test results? And am I the only crazy person in the world who worries this much about it?
It has already been pointed out that it is irresponsible to never have an HIV test (especially since you were not being careful), but I don't see any point in beating a dead horse. If you want advice, I would probably not worry since they haven't called. But I do hope you realize that not taking precautions could have ruined not only your own life but that of your partner and child, We all make mistakes. Hopefully you will learn from this one. Best of luck to you and your pregnancy.

Oh look it's our buddy.
And it's only considered beating a dead horse if she understood the ramifications of her actions rather than pointing out that we called her out on it. Nice attempt at WK ing though.
@janda426 I just saw your reply. I was actually not directing that post to anyone but the OP. By "beating a dead horse" I was talking directly to her and I meant that I couldn't add anything further she hadn't already been told. It was not meant to stir up a response from anyone else. I guess if calmly posting a polite response to someone whose decision I found reckless is white knighting, then okay.

Hey now, we were just getting on the right foot in the other thread.
Re: Wanted to delete this
You are talking I grown ups... Perhaps act like one.

The part I don't get is that in her original post, it clearly states, "judge if you must, it is what it is".
Sooooooooooo now everyone is terrible for judging and calling her out on her irresponsibility?
Hmph.
