How Often Do You Take Your Hiv Test? by abifoluwa: 10:37pm On Nov 19, 2012
i took my test recently, and i was surprised by people who are infected, and didnt get tested.
so i am just wondering how often do people on Nland get tested, and if you dont get tested like every month why? is it because of money? or u dont believe hiv exist?

It should be done regularly like 3 - 4 times in a year depending on how you put yourself into risks that could get one infected. I am clean and free.Thanks to God.

if you are putting yourself as risk so often that you have to carry out 4 HIV tests doesnt it make sense that you try and reduce the risks.

Annually, and that's because my organisation does it as part of its annual medical examination.

I do it for fun. Every month I take the test. My Dr said am abusing the test but I just like having my blood taken. Apart from that, I also check my sugar level and genotype .

I did one 3 months ago. I'm waiting for another 3 months to take another one.

Once a year seems more like it for me.
More often if you suspect your spouse is cheating on you or if you are a cheat.

rubbish testing...avnt done mine and will probably never do it...when I know am not messing up ma self.....if you happen to do it and it turned out ++ itz the fear that wld kill u sef nt even the sickness so my advice? better to die with it without knowing than seeking to know. afterall people die in accidents etc daily...so why leave with the knowledge that you are ++ when u can live a healthy life without its knowledge. £jstmythought£

Becareful with your doing it for fun attitude. You might end up getting infected inadventently with used niddle. If not, you might still get infected with a plastered blood if there's any open flesh in your body.

Doctors might even mistakenly swap the test result and give you the positive one. You die after seeing the result, wouldn't you?

I'm as clean and pure as a dove but I still make it a routine to do years checks(once) .
Naturally I do try my possible best to live a very healthy life like drinking loads of water every morning, doing a little bit of exercise daily, taking enough fruits and vegetable daily,avoid heavy foods once its past 7pm so as to enable my body digest what's its received easily.

One thing I've learnt about the human system is that "early detection of any ailment @ all is the panacea to that very problem "
