Did My HIV Test Today by dreamxhaser: 12:05pm On Apr 05, 2022
In January, I had sex with a hookup/ runs girl and the condom burst. At first, I did not take it as anything serious, but after the act and went home, I started thinking, and boom, the fear of HIV consumed me.

I went for an HIV test the next day, and it was negative, so I was asked to come back on April 22. I couldn't think straight for the past few months; I checked every thread related to HIV on the naira land and the Internet, which Increased my fear.

So this morning, at precisely ten weeks, I decided to go for another test because I couldn't wait any further. I asked my OG to escort me, and he did.

They gave me a fluid sample collector that I should put in my mouth and rub around my gum, which I did, then when he asked me to place it inside a tub, which I did, and the test started to read. He said it would take about 20 minutes, but after about 5 minutes (I think), he called me back.

I went in, and he said the result was negative. I was so happy and thanked Allah immediately. But I am still worried about a few things which are...

1. How accurate do you think is a result at ten weeks? I saw somewhere that about 90% of most rapid test results are valid at two months, while 99% are accurate at three months. Well, mine is at ten weeks.

2. He said the test takes about 20 minutes while mine isn't more than 10 minutes. Is it possible for the results to change after I leave the hospital?

3. How do the lines on the kits work? When positive, do both lines appear at the same time or do the first line appear before the second?

The more questions you ask, the more you will know, the more knowledge you have the more depressed and anxious you will be.

If you remain insatiable, you go run mad soon!

You may need to go for a third one at a bigger lab in a few weeks, just to be on the safe side, but I don't think you're positive...

One of the things I am happy for as a celibate male is that I don't have to worry about STDs or pregnancy. I've grown to appreciate my health and life and I realized a lot of the so called big girls outside have one disease or the other, so sex is highly overrated. The problems that lie therein are much more than any silly enjoyment you can derive.

Please stay off casual sex and take your life more seriously... Shalom.

Yes, I'll go back on the three months mark, but I feel more hopeful now.

Boss forget sex, it's a very stupid overrated act, e no con sweet as people they hype am. I have promised to zip up until Marriage bro, the stress ain't just worth it. I lost hundreds of dollars worth contract because of depression. Kai, I no what I went through.


I went today so I can have small rest of mind, when it's 22nd of this month I will go for the final checkup and I'm very optimistic this time.

Abstain, guys, please it isn't worth the stress.

I have one of those home hiv kits..its suppose to show the result in 20 mins but in 5 mins you could know if you have the virus or not..once the blood is dropped in the pallate... in less than 5 mins,,,it should be on the negative line..if its not there in like 5 mins,,,that means anti bodies are being detected...
from my own little understanding..

If you must have sex always protect yourself no matter what....even there's herbs that cure and lower the CD count to the barest minimum.... using protection will save you the money to buy herbs,the stress of concocting the herbs on my own part....in all take good care of your health... health is wealth
