Get Tested...




Today is National HIV Testing Day in the US.  Unless you're a virgin, you should get tested.   And one time is not enough.  If you are a sexually active person then you need to tested routinely.  

I am not going to post much more today except to say that I had been tested, but obviously not enough.  You need to keep getting tested up to 18 months past your last sexual encounter.  I had been tested six months after & it was negative.  During the next year I started getting sick.  Over the following months, I became nearly bed-ridden.  Finally, I was in the ER & they retested me & I was +.  It had been well over a year since my last test, that had shown negative.  

Get tested regularly.
