hmmm. someone just told you about your hiv status and you are worried about the Dr not telling you about hiv test or not even though you admit he told you that you will be tested? I wonder... is this how people spread the disease? obviously some don't want to know what they have done and will look for anyone to blame. I think nigerian govt should make testing mandatory in the interest of the general public especially spouses. Does anybody have the right to put someone at risk and keep mute about it? isn't that a form of man slaughter? p.s. I don't know what the law says o. 2 Likes |

Gboliwe: Thank you!!!!!!!!! Some people just type with out a single knowledge and act confident like they know. That was. How a doctor went ahead and requested for A particular test is it hvs or so ... Can't remember but the test can't be done on a virgin. Even after she told him she is not and has never been active. Come and see commotion |

The doctor was unprofessional as we have it around these days. From what I was taught in school, there should be pre-test counselling and post test counselling |

Hiv testing is made mandatory in some hospitals...it's done to create awareness about the pandemic and to minimise infection rates....the more knowledgeable you are of your status...the better the condition that it can be contained in. Nowadays treatment is available to retain the virus' full effect on your system through a cocktail of anti-retroviral drugs... So either start the treatment or perform further testing if you aren't satisfied. And hiv/aids does not stop you from having a full and fulfilled life. 1 Like |

A lot of interesting posts... 1. An HIV Test cannot be done without you giving a go-ahead, so the doctor was wrong and a lot of health workers do it without telling patients. Lawsuit. 2. In the recently released integrated national guidelines, what is encouraged is the opt-out form of provider initiated testing and counseling. What this means is that a health care worker will offer HIV testing and counseling routinely; you should be informed before the test is carried out. Sadly, some thick heads don't understand that routine is not mandatory. Not refusing indicates that you have assented to the test but you do have a right to refuse even for a pregnant woman. It is then left for the hospital to counsel you further on why you should know your status. I'm not sure about the anti-discriminatory bill that was approved by Senate as regards whether hospitals can refuse their service to people who refuse PITC--- haven't read the policy. 3. Voluntary testing and counseling just means you walk into a facility and request for the hiv test. The reason PITC was introduced was so that more people could know their status as against just waiting for people to request for the test - passive versus active case finding. 4. As someone as pointed out earlier, you need to run the test using 3 kits in line with the national serial algorithm but my experience is that many private hospitals only use the first kit. I won't get into the rationale behind the use of 3 kits here. Advice is this: Walk into a general hospital, I can provide you with choices if you tell me what state you are in- and request for the test. Having HIV is not the worst that could happen. The medications are available and are free. 1 Like |

....A doctor does not have the right to test you for HIV without your consent. It's Voluntary testing and Counselling with an opt out proviso. ...you ought to be counselled first before the test and after even if the result was positive.. ...dt's 9ja private hospitals for you And I guess your boyfriend knew before insisting on the test ...please I would advise you take your medications..and attend a virology clinic |

DeCritique:But you dey quick vex ooo. The word ''please'' is damn too mere for that circumstance. I know you are an intelligent person. I would have preferred advice like: please, all you need to do is to carry out another tests to reconfirm, thereafter, depending on the result, take appropriate steps, since it is easily transferrable. To me those words are more reasonable and consoling more than the word ''please don't share it. You self, think am. BTW, are you an apc member or an Islamist? He never reach to vex like that before. |

kenonze:On this particular issue , the doctor is wrong. However, there are some instances in which a doctor can carry out HIV test on u, without informed consent: - if a doctor get pricked or had contact with ur blood . this is needed to confirm if he's going to need post exposure prophylaxis - if u are registering for antenatal, this is to protect ur baby from having it, in the hospital where am working, it is mandatory , of I refused u won't be registered - if he strongly suspect that is what u are having and u are not consenting, he can carry out the test to protect the managing team . but u should never be informed on less u pass through hat process of counselling. -when u are donating blood or other organs - for this, U'll simply be informed that u are not fit.it is a measure to protector the recipient. If u request to know , U'll be made to passed through necessary counselling and retesting |

I love Nairaland so much If you really want to have 100% attention of youth in my dear country Nigeria,sit the down to give them their HIV result No matter how strong or bold you are,you will think twice,because not only from sex you can get this deadly disease. Back to the topic,the doctor has violated the ethic and standard of medical profession,he must be querried He did the right thing via wrong channel. I could remembered vividly when my immunity started going down,I went for several test,until that doctor said,I must go for HIV test,I wanted the ground to open and swallow me up,profusely sweating like a xmas goat,I summoned courage to do it,the result would be ready in 3 days,my wedding is a month time in Nigeria,I told myself,I wont go for the result until my wedding is over and back to kenya,That is how I ran away to Nigeria. After I came back,I started counting all the ladies I had an affair with whether they can have it or not,until my wife force me to go for the result,I told the doctor,dont just read anything for me,print it for me and let me go,he printed it,I left,on my way home,summoned courage anyhow,anyhow,omo okunrin kii ku lee meji,Thank GOD, IT IS NEGATIVE!!!!, I ordered for Nyama choma(fried meat and cold drink) |

Believe me there are worse things that can happen to u other than HIV. Some pple would trade their current situation for hiv in a heartbeat. Many who don't hav HIV will still die before u. Life can go on smooth for u still if u want it to so get a grip of yourself and be strong. Donot dwell on it. U can't dwell on any of it |
