HIV testing

So I am about to get tested at a free clinic tomorrow and am freaking out.  Has anyone else ever been this nervous about it and how can I get through it?  I am extremely nervous about my results even though I've only been exposed to pre-cum.

I was very anxious and it was all I thought about for some time.  I was convinced I was positive because in my mind I thought I was experiencing every symptom possible.  But as they say, the only way to know your status is by testing at 3 months.  All the best for tomorrow and let us know the outcome of your test.

its hard, im still dealing with it myself and have another 5 weeks to go before im out of the window. Just remember the test doesnt make you positive or negative. It simply tells you wether you are or not. it shouldnt take long, play a game on your cell phone or read something while you wait. Best of luck to you and just remember the odds are in your favor.
