make sure to have your blood taken for HIV testing

and note, if you want to be thurough, wait until 6 months after the encounter to go back and get another HIV blood sample taken... it usually takes a while for it to show up and has a good chance of not showing up within 3 months after. after 6 months your set to be checked, after a year i'd say you def dont have it if it don't show up

 

Yep. Once every 6 months.

 

i havent been tested in a while but i heard that they now just take a urine smaple... not need for Qtip anymore. dont know if it's true

 

The qtip makes me not want to get tested sometimes

 

when I got tested all the took was a urine sample and a blood sample :dunno: bout this q-tip

 

when was this?

 

bout a month ago...maybe a lil less than a month ago

 

they can test for the HIV antibodies a lot sooner than the 6 months now. weeks, i think.

 

the q-tip really f'n hurts. it's important to get checked out though.

 

oh man. all this qtip talk is making me hurt and want to find a urine sample testing center.
