Grow up!: Just get tested. You have to do it. It isn't the test that gives you the infection; you have it or you don't. Probably not, but you have to know to save your life and protect others. And when people delay testing for fear of the result, they ALWAYS have reduced stress when they finally do it, even if positive. The anxiety is worse than knowing. You're mature enough to have sex; act like an adult.

Lab test fear: You can do it, and you will be protecting others. Feel the fear and do it anyway. Peace and good health.
