I had my yearly right after I left my ex-husband, and my gynie suggested that I have the full panel of STD tests done, "just in case". She gave me the prescription, and sent me to a lab.

I walked in, and the waiting room was full. There was a bank-teller-like window that I had to push my prescription under to the nurse. She looked at it, and in a loud voice said, "I can see that you want the STD panel, but what's this HIV test?" I blushed and mouthed, "AIDS." She said, "I can't hear you, sweetie, what's that HIV?" I said in a whisper, "AIDS!" By this time, people were looking. Again, she asked, "Just the HIV, what's that mean?" By this time, I was beside myself and said, "AIDS!" When she asked one more time, I grabbed the prescription and wrote, "AIDS" on it, and shoved it back. The nurse then said, in a loud voice, "Ooooh! AIDS! Why didn't you say so?" I wanted to kill her.

Thank heavens, she took me next - but as she drew my blood, she told me about every local celebrity who came to her for AIDS tests! Needless to say, I reported her the very second I got to a phone.

Hope your results were the same as mine, WVU alpha phi.

lol i went when i was pregnant in 2000 to get tested...i had been left high and dry by my loser boyfriend and figured i should go to the open STD clinic at the health department. i thought nobody would be there that i knew...boy was i wrong...the room was packed and i knew no less than seven people there lol! and that was the only thing they did on that day so you just KNEW what they were there for...i sat in a corner behind a LIFE magazine and when my name was called moved as fast as my fat behind would take me!

everything turned out ok. i get an HIV test everytime blood work is done, but ive never worried...i know that is naive and dumb to some people, but i figure if i have it, there is nothing i can do about it to change things, so stress is the last thing on my mind. i have always been extra picky about partners and continue to do so. good luck with your test results EVERYBODY lol!!!
