Email 151: About the HIV Test
Posted by Pozziepinoy on 8:47 AM
Hi Pozzie,
I hope you can help me. Is there a way to get tested for hiv/aids for free? I just started working again last XXX and we don't have any resources. Also is the Western Blot Test free too?
Thank you so much.
All the best,
XXX
POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE
Hi XXX.
Thank you for your email. Thank you for finding and reading mg blog. I hope you can find useful information from my blog entries.
I am proud of you for taking the initiative to get tested. You are young and yet you are more courageous than most in getting yourself tested. However, next time you have a relationship, it is not enough to just trust your heath with a partner who you love. The virus is still on the rise in the country so make it a point that before you have unprotected sex with your partner, both of you should have an HIV test. It doesn't matter if one is positive or both of you are negative. What is important is the fact that you guys love each other and that you guys are being responsible to take care of each of your bodies as you physically connect with each other.
Regarding your question, the HIV Test (rapid test and particle agglutination test) in RITM Satellite Clinic is free for MSM, check out the link of RITM Satellite Clinic for it's clinic hours.
I hope I was able to answer your concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other questions.
Stay healthy,
Pozziepinoy
