What Are You Waiting For?

I have been communicating with new individuals who are waiting for their confirmatory result. The scenerio is, after getting a positive result in the HIV screening test, one has to wait for 2 to 3 weeks before the confirmatory comes out. The individuals that I was talking to were tested positive in the RITM Satellite Clinic in Manila and with the help of their counsellors, they were advised to get their baseline labs in RITM-ARG in Alabang even before they get their confirmatory result. I was not convinced yet that this is possible until I asked a staff in RITM-ARG and she confirmed that it is true. She told me that as long as they bring their screening result with them from the RITM Satellite Clinic, then they will be accommodated.

Wow. This is great news. Imagine, instead of thinking about the confirmatory, well if it's positive or negative, why wait and start with all the baseline tests fast. Instead of waiting, one can get to know his or her health status as soon as possible.

It is better to be prepared for the worse, but no matter what getting all the baseline tests is a win-win to everyone. In case you are either negative or positive in the confirmatory, you are already ready for anything.
