Poor advice. The chance of getting a false positive is great and it is poor advice to have a person that has anxiety issues to test for no reason.

i had undergone hiv test toay in 3 months and came  negative. As i m medical student i suggest all the viewers not to get paranoid not to fear about the symptoms and get stressed or anxious because its gonna add more symptoms in you which will trouble you more..so better go for a test and relieve ur stress..and thanks to admin!!
