Not and never scared ..
The first time we were bn counsel by a woman befre going in for the mini interview.
I was asked when last I sex, how many partners, etc etc.
An elderly man and a guy almost killed me with laugh as they were scared and shaking, all waiting for the results..
Was called in and I collected the result saw negative..
The other guy went in and immediately he came out, he shouted "Thank God o, I no get am "

The other man was so scared to open his and asked me to tell him what's it..I smiled and told him he's free from the virus and he said, "Thank you my son " .He even paid for photocopies and was thanking me..


what I notice is alot of people are scared to go for test.. they will tell you it's better they don't know than to know they are positive..

Menh. It was nt funny at all. D first time my babe then called me tht i ve to run some test tht she jst did her own. she refuse 2 tell me d kind of test n d result of d test. She jst say blood test for infections. My mind was running faster than Usain bolt. I summon courage went into a lab n i did d test. D lab attendant was reluctant to show d result, later a police came in wit sumbdy lookin like a pastor. I was looking like a ghost. Checking for an escape door should in case d result was positive n d police wants to arrest me. But all funny wen I discover they came for d same test too. Fast forward to Dec 2015. I was with some friend and colleagues at a sport gathering and there was a free HIV test by the side of the pitch. My friends carried me like a criminal about 6 of them to d stand where the test was been conducted it was funny and embarrassing tho but no offense n d test was taken. The lady that took d blood was jst laughing at the manner in which my friend brought me to her. We jst joked about it. We exchanged contact details and d rest is story now. Bleeping cont. But it's either condom or no bleeping.

I have never wanted to do even though I have had freelance testers persuading me. in short, I did mine unexpectedly. it happened that my sister needed blood urgently all our blood (me n my siblings) had to be checked if its in abundance before the HIV test could be carried out. To God be the glory, the doctor said my blood is low and that I should take more blood tonic. Suddenly, she said "Abi I should help you people check your HIV status"? I felt like who send you, Ehn? Nevertheless, she went in to check and I was praying she never come out again. Then about 5minute she came and said "its all clear"... Then I thanked God I eventually did the said test. Am clean oooooooo

Last time I did a HIV test was 2011 when I entered school newly. As a fresher, you got to go through the necessary medical check ups. Prior to that I had a fling with a crush of mine. Though not skin to skin but others inclusive.

Make Doctor give me my medical result, the man started preaching to me. I have never been that scared in my entire life. I had cold feet instantly. Maybe it was +ve I said to myself and he is trying to make me strong and not to harm myself. After about 6mins of preaching, he gave me the results and voila it was - ve. Since then, I stopped FLINGS. cool

I was afraid to do it when my family members asked me to Donate blood to my dad who was hospitalized and needed blood then, i refused and confessed to them and gave excuse that i have been smoking weed and cigarette and too much alcohol is in my blood so i can't go for a test and donate any blood, i feared it would be positive because girls wey i don do without protection that time plenty pass catholic church members, after much persuasion i did it and it was negative .. But in all we just need to pray, hope and trust in GOD to protect us, i know this guy who doesn't do anything without condom, he had his own clipper, he will hate you if you sex a woman without condom, eventually he died by accident and 2 condoms were found in his wallet where a vehicle crushed him on a highway. he fears HIV but NO BE HIV later KILL AM !!

Anywaz,got to the hosppital after public hols, told doctor i wanted to check all those kain blood group,genotype etc,plus any stds...held on, on the hiv part,didnt want her to know that was the main reason for the test sef!
She was like why am i running stds,i was like,i skin dived! She was like,yea,but do u av any symptons,i saiidno,she was like ok;no need cos stds are no longer rampant!i told her i wanted to run it anywaz...

I was like,dont worii;i"ll pay,and pls put the HIV test tooo...finally,i av told her!
Had 2 wait for 3days,and dts was now when everytin that was trending was stds and aids! Dt was wen the topic of a girl givn a guy gonorhea and him shaaring the girls fone number and pix on social network,nonly for a guy 2 request for her 2nd number and call gonoo just common!
Tru out that period,i was humble!
Till the d-day,hmmmmmmmm, i was workn like a zombie tru out!
Got to the hosppital, the wait was like eternity,till they called my name!
The nurse was like are you Mr.A...i said yes,she said;let me see an identification...(Spiritually i don faint)
I managed to show my driving license,she gave me...na walk run i de do as i de coomot,de scan the wholle sheet @ the same time,till i saw "no sign of virus or something like that"....

The worst place to do HIV test is at Luth, yaba right.

First of all, after drawing your blood; you would be asked to come back in 8days time.

Through this time, you're tormented by stress and worries.

On result collection date, they will place the result yellow cards on a table.
Lots of them...And ask u to find your own.

Now, this is the real torment.

As you search through, you keep coming across names that look like your and of course with POSITIVE on them.

Your BP would have been raised before you find your own.

The worst is asking the nurse or staff there to help u find your own as dem go quickly dash you one positive man name wey sound like yours.

I almost fainted the last time I had it there. 2007.

Don't know if it's still the same.

Honestly, I was scared AF, when I did the test. About a year before the test, I had done a bad thing, without using my usually sound discretion. A friend of mine told me where I could do the test. It took me about 3 weeks to gather the strength to go.

I enter the office and I see a couple seated, and a nurse working at a computer station. I approach the nurse, and because I'm a medical student, I'm wearing a ward coat. She thinks I'm a doctor and asks, in a concerned tone if I had a needle stick injury. I said no, and resist the urge to tell her what I did was much more stupid than that...

Since I know the theory of the test, she tells me to do the thing myself. When she sees I'm just looking like a tuber of yam, she takes it from me. One quick prick, and I'm watching the rapid test kit, as the liquid rises on the special paper. Right there, my life flashes in front of me. I start to picture the worst-case scenario. I can't even cry. The couple were busy looking dejected, so that didn't help things at all.

After staring hard at the thing for like 5 minutes, the nurse comes over and says, 'sho wa le to yen ni?' (is it that bad?). 'the result interpretation is there na'. I was in so much shock, I couldn't interpret the thing for like 30 seconds. When I finally realize I'll be fine, I almost collapse. I'm absent-minded as she asks for my details.

The most important thing I learnt from the whole experience is:
1) don't do anything risky, just because you're hörny.
2) even if it was positive, it wouldn't have been the end of the world. There is treatment, to ensure you live as normal a life as possible.
3) you never know, so don't discriminate. There are a lot of people who didn't have any choice. (infants infected by their mums, rape victims, blood transfusion screening failure, etc. The list is long)

I walked out of that room a changed individual.
