Op, I did the test over five months ago just before getting married so I can understand what you are feeling. I was so scared and couldn't sleep as well, especially as we were asked to come back the next day for the results. Anyways, it came out negative and I was so relieved.

Just brave up and go for your test and it will likely come out negative as well. The symptoms you are experiencing may be typhoid-related, but you'll never be certain until you do your test. Go for it and when it comes out negative make sure you uphold all the sweet promises you are currently making to God. Goodluck bro smiley

the hospital you treated all these ailment already know your status,except there was never a bloodtest involved in the treatment of you.

no need to fear,except you had lived a promiscuous life. even at that,the possibility of you contracting it through sex is minimal.
Pls throw more lights to your last sentence.

I did the test in February after needle stick injury from hair salon (September)I must say it was really nerve racking . I received a great support from my GP (counselling) and my partner. I have to wait for 6 months to do the test. Luckily I tested negative for both HIV and hepatitis.
OP, try and be brave and Good luck

I remember how scared I was before I did mine. I had all d symptoms manifesting prior to the time. I had no option but to muster courage and go for it. Funny enof it was just fear that weakened me all along. Fact is, ifu haven't been fu..cking around, u have no need to be scared.
Re: How Does It Feel Going For A HIV/AIDS Test? by donshady(m): 7:34am On May 05, 2016
Being positive is not the end... There are other infections worst than HIV.... hepatitis A B .... Herpes...... HPV / Warts......

No matter what type of STD you may be
worried about, it is important to get tested to
know what you are dealing with (if anything)
and to seek the appropriate treatment.
Treatments, like antibiotics, can cure some
sexually transmitted diseases, while others
can keep the disease from worsening.

EduRegard:
Scared??

What is your sexual risk history in terms of frequency and type of sexual behaviour?

Have you been involved in high-risk sexual practices such as vaginal or anal intercourse with more than one sex partner without the use of condoms?

In the case of anal sex, was it anal-receptive or anal-insertive sex?

Did you have sex with a sex worker (or prostitute) without a condom? Or is your sex partner HIV positive?

Are there any other risks involved? Are you an intravenous drug user, a prisoner who is exposed to rape or unprotected sex in prison, a migrant worker, a refugee or a sex worker? Have your been raped or coerced to have sex with another person? Do you have another sexually transmitted infection or tuberculosis?

Did you receive a blood transfusion or body products in a developing country where testing blood for HIV is not standard practice? Note: All blood supplies in South Africa are tested for HIV, and are very safe.

Have you been exposed to possibly non-sterile invasive procedures such as tattooing, piercing or traditional invasive procedures such as male or female circumcision and scarification for the application of medicines?

Have you been exposed to HIV-infected blood in the work situation? (E.g. injuries with large volumes of blood involved, or needlestick injuries.
Mehn all these questions na wa o! Are you sure you read his post at all? If you did, did you see where he said his ex tested positive not long ago? If you actually saw that all these questions are uncalled for.

Adeniyi077:
I have had that experience before. I know what you must be going through. And to be candid, you will be more tensed and surely want to go burst while awaiting the result. However, you might actually need to calm down and tell yourself that you are meant for greater things. You have not fulfilled your purpose, and nothing is going to stop you from becoming all you were destined to become.

If GOD could give me happiness after my own test, He will do the same and more to you.

Good luck, man.

From your comment, I already suspect you're positive.

No clinician can order HIV test without patients' consents... Ethically, not possible. It could lead to litigation smiley

So that those who are going through same can just man up and do it, also get advise instead of procastinating.
Someone experience can save the life of many others

Malaria kills more and faster than HIV yet people take Malaria lightly but so afraid of HIV.. My dear, HIV is just a normal illness just like Malaria, typhoid and what have you.. Testing positive isn't the end of the world..


If it comes out positive just take it as a normal sickness and take your drugs regularly but I pray it comes out negative.

Modified

Out of curiosity I decided to go for HIV test today after seeing this post and guess what? Am highly negative..

Lol..

chai. i remembered when i went for hiv test in 2011, after taking my blood, they called about 20 of us back and took our blood samples again. when i questioned them , they said that the first sample was not showing well, so they have to take another sample. one guy began to hala * i no know wetin una dey talk o , make una no do mistake carry another person result give me, if una try am eh, all of us go die here today*
others joined him to curse and swear, the guy went further to say that if they dare give him a positive result, he will take their names to okija shrine because he is very very sure of his negative status that the test was merely for formality. when the result came out after a few hours, an air of apprehension filled the room even the okija shrine guy looked like he wanted to poo on his trouser.if they called somebody's name, the person will quietly enter the consultation room, collect his result and while coming out, all eyes will be on his or her face to know whether the person is crying or laughing.then came the okija shrine guy turn..................wanna read more? check my signature

any way I wish you the best of luck.just pray to your God to epp you. it's not easy being a man.
Re: How Does It Feel Going For A HIV/AIDS Test? by IRserveMyComent(f): 7:40am On May 05, 2016
Op you made a grave mistake. You should have ran the test immediately you heard of your ex's status. Hiv is better dictated earlier . So one would commence with d drugs to boost their immune system. I pray you come out negative. But my dear when you do, never forget all the promises you made to God.
Re: How Does It Feel Going For A HIV/AIDS Test? by Afam4eva(m): 7:40am On May 05, 2016
You already have the right mindset. The best way to approach these kind of situations is to expect the worst and hope for the best.
