Email 387: Worried Wife
Posted by Pozziepinoy on 7:31 AM
Hello po.
Magandang araw po sa iyo.
Nabasa ko po sa 1 website about sa iyong
article patungkol sa HIV.
Ako po ay may 1 asawa na american nationality.
Nagkaroon kami ng phobia dahil sa 1 result ng kanyang medical last February
2013. Ang naging result ay repeteadly reactive pero sa western blot test niya
ay no traces found kaya siya sinabihan ng indian doctor na positive siya. Nagpa
2nd opinion siya sa ibang doctor, at binasa iung naging result niya.. then sa
2nd opinion niya, sinabi ng doctor na negative dahil no traces found sa western
blot test which is more accurate daw po.
Ngaun po ay gusto ko rin po sanang magpa test
para malaman ko ang result kung infected ba ako or hindi dahil hindi po maalis
sa isip ko ang mag alala. Kahit kagat nga po ng lamok sa balat ko ay lagi kung
inoobserbahan kung tatagal ba ng weeks ang pantal or hindi. Pero hindi ko naman
na eencounter na lagnatin ng mga ilang araw, ubuhin ng matagal, or mapagod agad
agad.
Hihingi po ako ng payo kung anong maganda kung
gawin.
Maraming salamat po.

Hello.
Good day to you.
I read in one website about your article with
reghards to HIV.
I have a husband who is an American. We had a
phobia because of the result from his medical last February 2013. The result
was repeatedly reactive but in the Western Blot there were no traces found but
his Indian doctor said that he was positive. He had a second opinion from
another doctor and the result was once again read. The other doctor said that
he was negative because there were no traces found in the Western Blot which
according to him is more accurate.
Now, I want to get tested too to know if I am
infected or not and because I don’t want to worry anymore. Even a single mosquito bite I always watch for rashes if they will last for weeks or not. But I don't encounter long bouts of fever, coughing for a long period of time or easy fatigue ability.
I would like to seek for advice on what I need to do.
Thank you very much.

The trigger for taking the test for almost all people is the fact that they had protected sex. In your case, let me assert that even though you don't have any symptoms and just have this tiny thought of the possibility of having contracted the disease, then it is enough reason for you to take it. It is for your peace of mind to. Like what I always tell all my friends, HIV test is something not to be feared of. I tell them to have it as part of their annual medical examination.
There it is then. My best advice is to go ahead and take the test. It is just a test and there is nothing to worry about.
I hope I was able to answer your
concerns. Feel free to email me again if you have other concerns.
Stay healthy,
Pozziepinoy
