Most people believe that HIV tests should be taken just once. I've questioned lots of my friends, a large percentage of them have only had the test ONCE. I believe tests should be conducted at least twice a year! (I stand to be corrected, though).
Nairalanders, how many times have you had an HIV test, and how confident were you before the results came out. Also, when last did u do that? Please, share your experience.

I've had mine three times. Once, as an undergraduate. The other ones, as a Corp member. I was very curious and nervous, because my hairdresser had tested positive! Each time, the results came (negative, of course), i breathed sigh of relief. Lol

Hello op!
HIV tests should be done, like u said, once or twice in a year, but in high risk pple e.g health workers, lovepeddlers, drug users etc, it must be done every 3 months.
I 1 ce had a nasty experience when i had to dress a wound on a patient's leg, but i noticed that the wound didnt heal after three weeks with bouts of antibiotics, the woman later brought her test result.... POSITIVE!! I wore gloves while dressing her, but i was still scared, i quickly went for test and repeated it after 3mths, all were negative. Since then i learnt my lesson

In the school i teach, one of the staff (who just found out to be HIV positive), had s*x with eleven of our students. He agreed to help them out in the just concluded WASSCE @ the price of s*x. Now u can imagine the plight of these young students.

As for me its been a year , i had mine own Test during Navy screening Excercise, ohh boy i was so scared before i got tested, the soldiers extracting blood didnt show mercy with Injections. my mother and my sister were praying for me when i told them we were to go for HIV Test,since they know i am very vulnerable to women (You know what i mean).me too prayed that day and Night.

But before the Test was conducted i was shown the test result in my dream that wasnt HIV POsitive, still yet i didnt believe it until the test was taken and was announced Hiv Neg.. ohh boy i was happy for the result.

I shall go for another this year.hopefully by the Lords grace

The more reason why we need sex education, especialy 4 our teenagers who think they know everything abt sex.
Re: When Last Did You Go For HIV Test? by Nobody: 2:40pm On Jun 30, 2012
I concur. That fact can not be overemphasized. However, the idea is being frowned upon...even by the ''enlightened'' ones.

I've never done it before.
Re: When Last Did You Go For HIV Test? by Nobody: 4:47pm On Jul 05, 2012
There should be a massive national campaign. We can't afford to be another Southern Africa.

Also parents should teach their kids protective sex education and it should be in the national curriculum.

An elightend mind would go a long way in curbing the spread for the virus.

na wao, everybody negative for nairaland o.
problem is the test result kills faster than the HIV itself especially when its positive.
u just need to know enof to be able to put it (HIV) where it belongs.
