Hi Pozzie,

Need your advice. i'd been reading your blog since i suspected that i'm infected with HIV.

First time ko po ngkaroon ng unprotected sex last September 18 nun umwi ako ng pinas this year na hindi ko kilala, nagtiwala  nmn ako sa kaibigan ko kc sbe nya malinis dw ung girl. Last October hangang ngaun mdme nako nrramdaman na kakaiba sa katawan ko, karamihan ng symptoms ng HIV ay nraramdaman ko na, gaya ng swollen lymph nodes (armpit, neck), fever, tapos ngayon meron nmamaga sa gums ko, araw-araw ako nag-iisip kung bakit ngyyre sken 'to, halos mababaliw nko.

Last November 7, 2013, ngpatest aq d2 sa anonymous testing center through finger prick tas after 20 minutes nkuha n kagad ung result which was negative namn pro nde p dn aq satisfied nun time na yun kc sbe mgttest dw ulit kpg 3 months na.

Email 492: Next Steps for A New PLHIV


Hi Mr. Pozziepinoy,

Ako po si XXX, balikbayan na po ako dito sa Pilipinas since July 27, 2013 after I've been diagnosed in Singapore for HIV Positive.

Unang una po hindi po ako straight & there were times that I had unprotected sex with same.

The medical test is for the renewal of my employment pass for another 2 yrs working with under the same employer. This test was made on May 17, 2013 with a follow up test on May 30, 2013 for confirmation. And lately this July 13, 2013 I did another test thinking that maybe this time it will turn out negative, but still its a positive result.
