Email 452: My Story and HIV Test
Posted by Pozziepinoy on 2:06 PM
nung una nagamit kami ng condom kasi gusto ko para na din makasigurado kami sa isat isa.... kaso kinalaunan di na kami nag peperform ng safe sex. ngayon nag break up na kami mag 2mons na din ng last contact namin pero may communication naman kaming dalawa. gusto kung kumuha ng test para ma sure ko na safe kaming dalawa sa virus kaso natatakot daw sya kumuha..... kasi ng sinabi ko sa kanya kung aware sa sya HIV/AIDS parang natuliro sya at di alam ang gagawin. tinanong ko sya kung may idea sya sabi nya wala. ngayon ramdam ko na nag aalala sya kaso takot syang kumuha ng test. kahit ako sa
sarili ko takot din ako kasi gawa ng ex bf ko bago maging kami kung san wala na akong contact kung nasan man sya. at maging sya sa ex bf nya kung san nagpractice din sila ng unprotected sex...
salamat po
Hi Em.
Thank you for your email.
There have been a lot of stories like yours. At first taking the HIV test, then having protected sex with the partner then a few days or weeks later will have unprotected sex even without knowing the HIV status of the partner. So what's the real score here? What is the point of being responsible and in the end will end up being irresponsible again. I don't want to judge as everybody can make a mistake especially when in love, however, everybody should learn. HIV is still increasing in the country and having unprotected sex with somebody who you don't know the HIV status of increases the probability of spreading and or acquiring the virus.
Now with regards to your question, I know most HIV testing centers open from 8am onwards. I guess, you have to contact each testing facility to know their schedules and when there are a few lines. In private clinics, since there is a fee for the test, there is usually no line at all, so best is you go there. You can also try your previous HIV testing site since you get your result fast there.

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