POZZIEPINOY’S RESPONSE

Hi Empoy.

Thank you for your email.

With or without symptoms, if you think you have been exposed to HIV, please take the HIV test. There is no other way. It is scary to know but it is better to know NOW than delay it when your immune system has been debilitated by the virus. Not only will your finances be drained but your immune system will take a longer time to recover. So please do it now before it's too late.

Since you are scared, please allow us to help you. We can personally assist you in taking the HIV test. We can be beside you, give you direction and hold your hand during the entire process. Just click the link below if you need assistance:
