HIV testing

[milo1978]

Im crapping myself at the thought of getting one done. However i am now in a serious relationship & before going on any oral contraception I think we should both get tested.

Everytime i go I chicken out & im not classified as high risk so the doctors tell me not to worry too much about it.

After watching Hollyoaks last night im crapping it even more!!

Anyone gone for it & felt the same? Any tips? advice?

Thanks all xx

Yeah I know you're right Jez, my mates cant believe how pathetic im being especially when theres people out there who live with the disease & making such a big deal.

The drs always think im lying because they cant understand where the worry comes from.

Im going to have to bite the bullet pretty soon i think!

Thanks for the link jez!!

milo i had one done and although i was a bit scared it was worth it to feel the relief when i found out i was clear.just grit ur teeth and think how much better you will feel afterwards

and if you were positive wouldn't it be best to start the treatment as soon as possible? You'd be choked if you found out you had it in the future when it was too advanced to treat - and by then your husband and children would have it too.
