Hello,
Help her move out from her mother. I can see why you are worried about your friend being tested in that hospital which is Kings college hospital in Caldelot centre. It is appauling. I hope your friend isn't a victim from evil nurses.
Since her first hiv test is negative, that is a positive sign. She can have the p24 test which is encouraging, try and keep her safe.
I can't fully answer the question because she hasn't really experienced life i mean she is young, that is heart-breaking that soemone that you trust would do you like that and on top of that a very bad clinic injecting people with all sort of dealy diseases.....
i truly hope she isn't infected.
Take care

She needs to leave the house immediately. Her mother needs help, and that probably means that she should be institutionalized.
Second, she needs to have an HIV test done. Even if she is HIV positive, it's not the end. The basketball player, Magic Johnson, was HIV positive years ago and now there is no detectible sign of HIV within him.
DOCTORS: MAGIC'S HIV IS AT UNDETECTABLE LEVELS, BUT HE'S NOT VIRUS-FREE
http://www.lubbockonline.com/news/040597/doctors.htm
The truth is, Magic Johnson is clearly NOT the only person who has experienced this phenomenon:
“Nearly 90 percent of the people who take the powerful drugs within a few months of being diagnosed HIV-positive have undetectable levels similar to Johnson's condition, said Dr. Jeffrey Laurence, an AIDS researcher at Cornell Medical Center and a consultant to the American Foundation for AIDS Research.”

If she is 19, she is old enough to move out and take care of herself -- and it sounds like she should do it. Any mother who threatens to infect their child with HIV should not have custody of any children.
What did the test say? If she is positive, that will be one problem to deal with. If negative, then she needs only to deal with getting away from her sick mother.
Best of luck to her. I'll remember her in my prayers.

She's 19, she's an adult...she needs to get away from her abusive mother and stand on her own two feet. Have her go to a clinic and get tested (they can do cotton swab testing that is non-needle). Once the test results come back, if she is positive, they'll get her assistance and help to deal with it. If she is negative, she's fine as long as she stays away from her mother...
Also, if her mother did knowingly infect her, she can call the authorities, it's considered manslaughter.

Tell your friend to go to her GP immeditely. There are services that are available that her GP can put her in touch with, to escape from such an abusive relationship. The threatening business from her mother is sad, and yes it can be reported as it is a public risk. But I doubt she would want to do anything as its her mother. Best thing is to move away from her mum as she is old enough to do that. Get in touch with a womans shelter so she can get a head start.

Your friend should call Social Services, ASAP. Go to a clinic and talk to the Dr. there. You shouldn't have to be afraid of HIV with no exposure.

ask Jesus into your life and be born again by the power of the Gospel (an actual real life event in your real life) if you do this in a prayer sincerely God will answer you! you have to truely seek then God will answer!
if her mum is threatening her tell the police and get her safe and away from the woman.

Shes 19, living at home, (presumably) and never been kissed.
She must be a drama queen looking for a little pity. Get a better friend, and advise her to move out and support herself.

Call Social Services on the mom, harsh but necessary.
Everything else will proceed from that point, that needs to be followed through.

If you live in the USA... call a teacher and let the teacher know what is going on. The teacher can report it.
why?.. Teachers are required by law to report child abuse... even if it is just suspected... it will be investigated.
