        Well… I can definitely say that I understand your fear of getting the test. Just know that if it should test positive, the sooner you know, the sooner you can do something about it, without it causing any kind of major health issues for you. I get that it may be scary, but if you really value not suffering, it really is a good idea to get tested if you've been sexually active, or have used any sort of IV drug with a shared or reused needle.

          You'll feel much better after you have the test. Not knowing and the uncertainty can drive you crazy, and once you have a result, at least you'd be able to recognise what the next steps are. Procrastination and delays will only make things worse for you in the long run. Plus you're putting others at risk by having sex without knowing your STI status.

            The medication is really good, the medicine has come far . So even if you get tested + you still have a good and yes normal life. I understand the fear , but like most of the time fear is a bad advice giver . And its better to be tested and be + and know , ( so u can start meds properly and be undetecable ) than being + and fearing the result and not being able to take steps for meds.

            And for the best result…... you might also just be negative and drove yourself crazy over the fear.

            Once again, i understand but fear is a most of the time a bad advice giver.
