I had several blood transfusions in the early 80s due to major surgeries. To this day I have nightmares that eventually a test will turn up positive.

You don't have HIV...probably been dead by now if you did. HIV turns to Aids usually 5-10 years.

HIV would not be hiding in you for after 25+ years...

Oh I’m well aware of the timelines etc. Still makes me nervous regardless. Several years of doctors drilling into me the concept of “Don’t stop getting tested” back before they got a handle on it sticks with you.

Once the transmission vectors became widely known, a lot of people in my position (transfusions from a potentially contaminated blood supply) back then were pooping bricks.
