Tested positive yesterday

I had a rapid test that came out positive. I will be taking a Western Blot tomorrow to accurately confirm results. What a shock. Obviously I am hoping I get a negative Western, but after reading other peoples story, its humbled me to not think I am so special to deserve a break on this. In a sense, I can deal with it, its my wife, and daughter who I am trying to figure out how I would tell them.
