Scared384, there are clinics you can go to that are government funded that will not reveal your identity. The clinics have on staff counselors and they give you an identification number (they don't use names) and then your results will match your ID number. This way, if you test postive you have no risk of getting kicked off your insurance or getting fired from your job etc. You can do a google search of free testing clinics around your area and your counselor will be more than happy to discuss how you can live a normal life if you test positive. If you test negative, he'll go over how you can stay negative and cutCuts and puncture wounds your risks of exposure down.
