I apologize but I'm going to probably not write anything for a little while. I just got back from the clinic a little while ago. Before the test was up the worker i was with said that even though the test hadn't finished she could tell that it was coming back HIV positive.
They had me take a second blood test for confirmation but I won't know the results of that test for about 2 weeks. I asked what the probability of the first one being a false positive and I was told the chances of that are around 1%, but it is important to have the second test for confirmation, before starting treatment.
I'm very shaken up right now. I know that this isn't the death sentence that it once was but to hear a doctor say that as your result is even more scary than I can even begin to describe. The fear, shock, sadness, and anger flood over you.
I'm glad that I was able to have a family member go with me. I went back by myself to have the test redone but my Aunt drove me up and was in the waiting room for me.
Well I'm going to go since this is still very fresh and sinking in.
