Scared i have hiv , what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ostritch: The best thing to do is to get tested. Hiding from your results only hurts you (the longer you are left untreated the more damage is done to your immune system) and hurts others that you may infect by not knowing your status. This is a controllable disease but takes a partnership: you and your doctor to manage.
