Know you must be shaking, but the fact is that whatever the result you are better off than if you had not been tested. Sure we all want to hear we are negative, but should the result be positive it will mean that you have a great start at treatment, sooner the bbetter, and getting it in control. So many stories of positive people, positive HIV and positive mindsets, who live great lives by refusing to give in, justabout all say they are healthier and happier, and live much more since knowing their status. HIV is not a death sentence in itself, if you ignore it then it is. It is actually a wake up call to prove to yourself and the world just how tough and resistant you are, and how you can make the best of life, more so than many of us.
Pity the poor people who are too ignorant or scared to be tested, they will not be able to help themselves or be helped much.

hmm. if you have a bit of money and some time you can take off of work, i would buy a plane ticket to the one place i most wanted to visit and take a trip for a week or so. treat yourself, bring some friends/family or go by yourself. this could maybe get your mind off the unknown test results (which would be the point of the trip)
or surround yourself with your family and friends. get out and occupy yourself. the main thing i wouldn't suggest doing is being alone just sitting in a dark house. that only gives you time to dwell on the what ifs and freak yourself out even more. and if you did have HIV, i think (as with any illness) having good mental health makes a stronger immune system. hope this helps and good luck!

Listen! Dont worry about it. No need to be scared. I just had a test done about 3 mths ago. Yeah you do wonder about the results. But you need to occupy you time and just think positive dont think negative ideas about it. Its good to get these type of test done bc in this day in time you dont know who has what or been with who. And the majority of them are not going to tell you. So always watch out for yourself okay, and take care.

HIV can only be transmitted through 3 ways:
a) Unsafe sexual activities with an infected partner.
b) Transmission through body fluid
c) Through the placenta.
Is your mother an HIV carrier? Have you had unsafe sex recently? Have you been on any blood transfusion or any accidental needle prick or anything that goes into your blood stream recently? Think about it. Try to relax and try reading as much as you can about HIV infection and transmission. If it's negative, start protecting your life now. Why did you have that screening test for?

when i was pregnant they did a hiv test and i had the creeps even though i knew it had to be negative. but dont worry too much, its not really worth it you cant really change anything by worrying. my suggestion is try to relax and wait (hard to do) but you can do it! and if your Religious pray...i really hope everything goes good for you! .if it makes you feel better i work at a hospital lab dept. for four years and have not seen anyone's hiv results come back positive (even fm ppl that were really scared & thought they had it). much luck to you and lets hope for the best! be careful and take care

Well.... try to relax (not easy, i know). I have been checked for HIV because of needle sticks... hazard of the job. Anyways, hope for the best.... if you are negative... celebrate and have safe sex and avoid the things that expose you to HIV. If you are positive, you see a dr, get on medications, and practice safe sex. You basically have to deal with what life gives you, however fair or unfair. There are a lot of medications to help try to keep HIV from becoming AIDS. You will have to adjust things in your life because of it if you are positive.... but you just have to keep going.... there are support groups... talk to your dr... a counselor... they are there to help you through the hard times.

Stay positive Darling. The best thing to do is try and get your mind off of it. Do something fun for a week. You can't change whatever has happened and you and worrying about the test will not change its results. So as hard as it is to not think about it, you gotta get it out of the forefront of your mind..

Please just try to relax and wait for the results to come back.Worrying won't help you or change the outcome of the test.I've been tested 4 times and it's always been negative.Just relax.Worrying isn't healthy anyway
