Pending Results

Thank you for reaching out, especially when you're feeling as worried as you are. Waiting for the results of any test can be so difficult. We are not medical professionals who would be able to determine what your results may say. The fact that you were responsive to antibiotics is good, I am glad you're feeling better.

First, have you called your doctor to find out if you can receive your results in another way before appointment? Some hospitals and labs have online portals you can register for that can provide you information before going into the doctor in person.

In terms of HIV transmission, this article can give you a sense for your level of risk: https://h-i-v.net/testing-who-should. Finally, remember there are many false messages out there about living with HIV that can feed this anxiety. I know you are worried about a positive result. If that is the case, we can help you connect with a community of many people living with HIV and managing very, very well. I hope you keep us posted on how you are doing and that we can support you! - Liz (Team Member)
