Thr media and fear is killing us all... but its no choice but to face fear!!!
Im reading post and for months I was just like alot of you guys and I feel for you guys with your HIV Anxiety I totally relate because until a week ago I was just like u guys.. All im going to say is fear is a killer... These questions about HIV are false security... The only way to gain power is to get tested and face your fear and educate yourself... It isn't easy but it has to be done because that's the only you will be able to live a anxiety and stress free life... The six month tested thing is outdated and inaccurate go after 6 weeks and 3 months is just the exclamation point but a 6 week test is damn near conclusive.. Also the media and cdc evokes fear because they want to stop new infections etc.. So they sensationalize alot of HIV related things.. Now im not saying it doesn't exist but im also saying is relax.. Im African American and I live in Washington dc which is red zone to speak when it comes HIV its In the top 5 cities with high rates... So i understand the fear.. But you need to face fear that's the only you will be able to move on.
There is no need to live with this constant fear because HIV testing has become more accurate now.An HIV DUO test at 4 weeks is 99.89% accurate.
