Thank you – I decided to test….

Hi there

I just wanted to say thank-you for all your help answering my (many silly) questions. I finally plucked up the courage and went for an HIV test today,which came back negative. it has taken a huge weight off of my mind and I will now make sure I never expose myself to the risk again.

Thanks again and kind regards

Answer: Simon Collins

I’m glad your result was negative – over 95% of tests are negative – and it good that you now know your status.

It is a shame that routine HIV testing still causes so much stress, when it is really just a good part of looking after your sexual health.

Thank-you too for the feedback :)
