What test?: One of the new, kind-of-pricey double tests for HIV will reliable be positive at 5 weeks. Consider yourself fortunate, love more carefully in the future, and cherish the memory of what did happen 73 days ago -- human love is never perfect and always risky, but it's always to be treasured. Congratulations on both counts.
