My partner, Gwenn, and I have been together for two decades. During the entirety of our relationship I’ve been HIV positive, and she’s been HIV negative. Last year for National HIV Testing Day, we thought it would be a good idea to show just how easy the at-home HIV testing kits are.
Personally, with my viral load being undetectable, we knew the result of her test would be negative. But for a lot of folks who don’t know the status of their partner, that isn’t the case. So if you’ve been thinking about getting tested, or have a friend who has, it’s best to alleviate those concerns and get tested.
And remember, the only unacceptable HIV status is a question mark.
Positively Yours,
Shawn
This was awesome! Thanks for posting and spreading awareness about STIs and that getting tested should happen and not to be afraid to get tested. I recently read an article about the most common symptoms of an STI, https://www.ez.insure/2020/02/most-common-sti-symptoms/. It was a great read, and I think more people should know these signs so they can see the doctor and get tested. What are your thoughts?
