I'm Negative!
Posted by Pozziepinoy on 7:41 PM
This is to share my stories to you guys and how grateful I
am with Sir Poz.
Feb. 2013, I went to a Spa Parlor in Manila which
is not actually offers massage, they offer more of extra services like Hand job, lap dance etc.. but to penetration. I availed of their
extra service, shower, massage with hand job, after that, I also made
sex with my wife that night. I am fully aware of the disease that’s why I
only opted to have a hand job. But After a week, I have sore throat and same
with my wife. So, my worries and anxieties started. I always keep on my
mind that it’s only a hand job and there is no way that I can get the
virus. But still, I worried too much because of our sore throat with fever.
I started again looking and browsing in the internet of the sign and
symptoms. I read too much, and my worries and anxiety get worst. I found Sir Poz
blog and call him everytime to ease my worries and told me that I had
only a low risk exposure. But On the third week I had a flu for two weeks
and the doctor gave me antibiotic. After my medication, I had sore
throat or tonsillitis. I called Sir Poz, ASP and San Lazaro Health Clinic
to ask the same question what is the sign and symptoms. But again Sir Poz
gave me his word of wisdom that the exposure will be a low or non risk. Sir
Poz even started to Have a research of the anxiety that I feel. Then he told me to
get tested on the 3rd month to have a peace of mind. I waited, and Sir Poz
research and word of wisdom keep me strong while I am waiting for 3 months to
get
tested. Finally, I am negative.
I want to thank Sir Poz of helping me to be strong to handle my
anxiety and thank him for his blog. Once again, thank you very much. I know
there are lot of people like me who is anxious. You will have the sign and
symptoms,
but it doesn’t mean that you are infected. Don’t forget to wear
condom and like Sir Poz said, if you are sexually active, be tested. I pray
to those who are positive. Be strong and keep the faith.
Sir Poz, I hope you will not get tired of helping us. God Bless
and Good Health.

POZZIEPINOY'S RESPONSE
HI XXX.
Thank you for sharing your story with me and my readers. I am also glad that your HIV test result turned out negative.
Like what I always tell my email senders, the only way to know one's HIV status is by taking the test. Sometimes we think too much and by doing so, even with a very low risk scenario, anxiety comes out too strongly that manifestations of being sick also comes out. It is a normal reaction however, especially when the fear of getting an incurable disease is in focus.
Thank you XXX for the kind words. We had been communicating for quite sometime and like what I said, I am glad that you, at last, have peace of mind.
Stay healthy,
Pozziepinoy
