Dear MizzB
I’m a 23-year-old woman who is in a relationship. Recently, my boyfriend fell ill and he went to the clinic. When he came back he didn’t say anything.
We continued having unprotected sex and after that he disclosed that he had tested HIV- positive. I’m scared of going to the clinic as I fear I might be HIV-positive too now. Please help.

Hey Girlfriend
It’s normal for you to feel anxious about testing for HIV as you are at risk. Knowing your status is important because early detection leads to early treatment.
This will also empower you to live a healthier life. You can also get an “OraQuick” self-screening test kit to use in the privacy of your own home, so that you know where you stand. Knowledge is power!
