Dear XXXX,
Welcome to HCM.
You had indulged in sexual activity 7-8 years ago and found negative for tri-dot as well as rapid test then you need not to worry for HIV at all because you are 100% safe and free from HIV.
As far as recurrent diarrhea is concerned it might be due to IBS or some other reason but not related to HIV. Consult physician or gastroenterologist to isolate cause and follow the treatmnet regime.
Don't get stressed or tensed as it will worsen your condition so be relaxed and consult specialist. You will be fine soon. For any further query get back to me any time and I am always here to help you.
