HI good day i have my medical last week but when i go back to get the result of my medical the recommendation is to have my blood to undergo HIV extraction but no doctor personally ask me to do it is just written on my medical so i am so afraid am i a possible HIV positive? now i am waiting for the result of my blood extraction but i am so nervous and depressed because am i possible HIV positive thats why they asked me to undergo HIV extraction
If you did not have unprotected sex and have shared works then you have no reason to be concerned.
thanks micha but i am relly nervous and paranoid actually from the day i got my medical and read the recommendation and got tested until now while waiting for the results i am very paranoid i am always staring in the sky and i always wanted to be alone i dont want anyone to talk to me.
Hi confused,
No, chances are they are testing all sexually active people. If your history indicates the need for HIV testing then that may well be another reason.
Here in the US the recommendation is for all sexually active people to be tested for all STD's, including AIDS/HIV, regularly. All pregnant women are to be tested. We can refuse any or all tests, and must sign a separate form for HIV testing in the US. However, I have had 5 tests as part of keeping up with my health over the years. Yes, the first one can be scary while waiting for results. Just try to say calm.

We cannot possibly tell you why the doctor recommended an HIV test. Your theory about your Hep B history might be the reason.
Also, a lot of doctors are encouraging people to be tested annually if they are sexually active, just as a routine measure.
Call your doctor and ask. If you didn't have a risk (unprotected vaginal or anal sex, or sharing IV drugs/works), then your result will be negative.

by the way sir i have history of hepa B that is what i am expecting they will say to me but now it was HIV extraction is it because of hepa thats why they asked me to undergo HIV extraction
You cannot be given an HIV test without being asked. If you've never had an exposure then you have no need to take an HIV test.
at the same time there is no doctor personally told it it is just written on the reccomendation
