Does anyone have any stories they would be willing to tell about when they were tested, and how you felt leading up to and after getting tested?

Thank you for being willing to share your story with the community I am sure there are others on here that have gone through something and with you being willing to share could help give them strength.

When I tested positive, I thought I had strep throat, because everytime I tried to eat it frlt like I was swallowing glass. So, HIV really wasnt on my mind. I had originally just wanted to get a thoat swab, bit since I was at the doctor I thought I might as well get an HiV test too, since It was going on three months since my last one. I felt alright because I didnt think I was going to test positive, especially after my thoat thing went away after a round of peniclin. However, when I got a call back from the doctor a week later I was crushed.
