Email 165: Decided to Take The Test!

Hi Pozziepinoy!

Maraming salamat po sa blog nyo dahil kahit papaano ay lumalakas po ang loob ko na magpatest. At maraming salamat rin po sa wala'ng sawang pagsagot sa mga katanungan.

Gusto ko po sana magpa-test sa Friday. Tanong ko lang po, kailangan ko pa po ba kumuha ng sched bago pumunta sa RITM?

Noon ko pa po kasi gusto magpa-test, kaso sobra po ako'ng kinakabahan, eh. Pero ngayon, decided na po talaga ko. Gusto ko na po'ng mabawasan ang isipin ko.

Maraming maraming maraming salamat po.

(Translation:

Thank you for your blog because at least I am having the courage to get tested. Thank you also for always answering all the questions being sent to you.

I want to get tested this Friday. My question is do I need to get a schedule before going to RITM?

I planned to get tested a long time ago but I am really scared. But now, I am really decided. I want to clear my mind.

Thank you so much.)

POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE

Hi XXX.

Thank you for your email. Thank you for finding my blog. I am so happy that through it, I was able to encourage you and give you strength and courage to take the HIV test. I am so proud of you and I hope that others will follow what you are doing and start being responsible for their health.

Regarding your question, you don't need to get a schedule in RITM Satellite Clinic in Malate for the HIV test. All you have to do is to walk in and look for Lean or Phil and tell them that Pozziepinoy referred you to them. They know what to do and they will definitely assist you. Don't worry, the staff of the clinic are all professional, non-judgmental and very accommodating.

Taking the test is a good way to clear your mind of all the worries that has been bothering you for a long time. This is a perfect gift that you can give to yourself this Christmas season and no matter what the result will be, at least you know what the next steps that you need to take.

I hope I was able to answer your concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other questions.

Happy Holidays!

Stay healthy,

Pozziepinoy
