For someone to request for HIV test for both of you means she/he is not only taking both of your lives seriously but is wise,and this would boost up my trust in him/her. I would ofcause appreciate my privacy and do it by myself first and then later on I can gain the confidence to do it together. Go for it buddy,there is nothing as good as knowing your status.

A couple of xmas ago,we made a pt of telling everybody in the extended fam to get tested. One of the few who was shy passed away this yr and left two orphaned kids.
AIDS/HIV is real so don't bury your head in the sand (or elsewhere) and hope for the best.
My first time to test.
It was a few yrs back when I was single and busy. Mimi nilikuwa nahara this one week. As you know,that is one of symptons.
So I just walked down to that VCT near Karbanet gardens. I had a chat with the guy. Then he took my blood and gave me the results.
Turns out some manyake I ate at Kenyatta market had played me...

I think getting tested is the best option&hellip;No doubt about it. When my husband and I first met,we went together and got tested before anything else&hellip;.I&rsquo;m talking first week of meeting. And we went back together to pick up the results.

I find it interesting some of the responses that I&rsquo;m reading here. It&rsquo;s amazing the stigma that is still associated with HIV in Kenya. I live in the west now and getting tested has become almost part of a regular doctor&rsquo;s visit. The HIV percentage continues to rise but because many know their status,they are able to manage and lead almost normal lives.

I get tested at least twice a year. Of course the period between taking the test and getting the results is always filled with lots of prayers and many questions run through my head but it gives me peace of mind to know what my status is.

Now that you agree that getting tested is the best option,I would say just pray and pray really hard and hope for the best. Whatever your status is,it will help you know how to handle your future. Good luck and hope it works out well for you smile

it is not only employers who will request your status. Life insurers conducts the tests themselves or their designated clinics.

I first carried HIV -TEST mid this year when a group of trainers/Counselors came to our Orgn.to offer talk to employees.I have never ever,the reason was just that i fear injection.So this was an opportunity that i couldnt let go.It was hard but atleast i got a nother lady who was also a coward like me & we encouraged.Can u imagin that only the two of us were tested.The rest just couldnt imagin knowing their status.How i wish these pple come up with another way that they do not have to inject anyone............hmmmmm.Coz of that i will not do it again till the day i will be crossing over since it will be a must,as in in our Church.

But those who have know problem with injection,i would encourage you to be tested always and know your health status.Mostly when you have a partner,you might not know what do happens behind the scenes.It is bad to invest in stocks ar carryout all manner of investments so as to become rich but you do not invest in your health.

@Liv

How much does it cost to do a full medical check up??? I think this is a way to go.I hope the do not have to inject anyone.....Hii mambo ya cindano ni stress.Most of the time we have heard of pple collapsing and being promoted to glory just like that.This is because there was something eating then silently from within.So we should not just carry out HIV TEST but one should go for a full medical test once a while.

May be you are already positive already and thinking that the world has come to an end.There is hope.God can heal.He is a healer and if you trust and believe he will heal you.Last sunday an Usher who has been +ve for 8yrs testified in our Church that she has received devined healing from above.You might doubt this but it do happen but just for them that belives.With God all is possible

If you are -ve but your ways are not strait,plse be faithfull to God and to your Partner.If you continue living in immorality,you will definately get the reward or reap it.You know God is faithful and will give you what you are seeking for.Utavuna chenye unapanda.Just remove from your mind this notion that pple do say that a man(or woman of course) cannot be satified with one partner.It is possible.

And if you are still single.Please be faithful to God.It is possible to be young and live a holy life for God.If you cant survive a lone,then marry one wife and stick to it.like appostle Paul is saying that it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

It is never easy but lets ask God to give us the grace to be able to live a holy life and remain faithful.

God is great&hellip;.. Just came back from the VCT @ ICC msa rd&hellip;.they have an excellent counselor&hellip;.. driving there was easy - all I did was say a prayer,but walking from the car to the VCT office was impossible,I did not know my body could shake that much&hellip;.. then the 15min wait for the result is worse&hellip;. Staring at the strips&hellip;.sweat was flowing&hellip;.

Now am off to take some summit to cool dem nerves&hellip;. and thanks all SKerians for the support..

good for you. however i hope you all know that someone who has been infected recently or is on anti-retrovirals and is healthy can have such a low viral load that an ordinary HIV test would not pick it up? a close relative of mine shows up negative on the simple finger-prick test which tests for HIV anti-bodies only. in short just because you and your partner get tested and are negative does not mean you can now 'skinny dip'.... unaweza chomeka mbaya!!
