POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE

Hi J.

Thank you for your emai. Thank you for reading the blog. 

With regards to your concern, since you had herpes before it is best that you take the HIV test as it is possible that you have been exposed to the virus. You can check this link to find out where to get the test:


Let us make this clear J. HIV has no specific signs and symptoms so don't wait for things to happen. Whatever you are experiencing now can be anything and the only way to know if you have been infected is to get the HIV test. Also, herpes can't become HIV. They're are entirely different. You are experiencing symptoms for 2 years now and yet you haven't talked to any doctor yet. 

Please read these previous blog entries:


If you really want my honest advice, you would go immediately to the HIV testing site and take the test and second, go the the emergency room of any hospital so that initial lab tests can be given to you so that the ER doctors can refer you to any specialist once they get the real diagnosis of your condition.

I know it is scary but being proactive about your health is very important now, for you and your family. Don't think anymore and just take action.

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


Stay healthy,
Pozziepinoy
