I would like to make a test, just so that I know. I don't think that I have it as I have been careful, most of the times, and that's the reason..."most of the times" not "every time".
I am very scared of results... and the waiting time.
I know it is the right thing to do, I just can't take the mental strain.

take it from someone who has beent here,
it is very very scarey to wait, and even worse to wonder.
try to push your feelings aside and think about life,
the sooner you get yourself together, the sooner you will know.
and you have to think about EVERY aspect of this test,
if it is positive, then the sooner you take the test, the sooner you will know, and you can have treatment.
sorry if i couldnt help, and i hope everything goes ok.

If you don't take the test you'll never know and it will probably never be far from your mind - that's surely more strain than taking the test? You'll know before too long.
If the test is positive you probably ought to know.
If the test is negative, you can get on with your life safe in the knowledge that you are NOT hiv positive, the worry will be over and a great weight lifted from your shoulders - and then you can practice safe sex for ever more so that you never find yourself in this predicament again!!

It's normal to feel scared. Try to remeber that you will most likely be fine, and once you know you can stop worrying. Plus, if are positive, it is much better for your physical health to know sooner and for your mental health it would also be better. Just think of how devestating it would be to not check and then to find out in a few years that you have been HIV + for a while, and that you passed the virus on to person(s) you care about.
Whatever the situation, I think that you will feel better for taking the resposible steps to get tested. Really. Just know that you are not alone.

Auto matically i get tested. ugh, everything was fine and i was like you, problaby not but ?? . You need to know your health status so you can stay healthy. The mental strain is short lived, dont worry, its actually less than all this worrying. lol. Just do it and get your answer that you obviously want to know. HUGS Tracey

Before I got married I had the test every time I ended or started a relationship just to be on the safe side, anyone potential boyfriend had to have one also I would still still do so now if I was single.
It's my life and why the hell take chances with it

Is the mental strain of wondering less than the mental strain of knowing?

The fda just legalized an at-home test, should be quicker, (but less accurate.) It's better to know than to worry all the time for nothing.

if you have any doubts this is the time to get urself tested before it turns into aids if you hae it .ppl can live a number of years treating hiv before it turns into full blown aids and if you are negitive you would be smarter to take the time to ask the guy to use a condom when you have sex
