Anywhere can test HIV immediately?

As title, thx

Go see your doctor immediately or if you feel that you have been exposed go to the emergency room of your closest hospital. From all that I've read on this topic (and its a lot by virtue of the hobby we indulge in) test results do not show if you have been infected for at least 6 months after the date you suspect that you have actually been infected.

Good Luck

Standard tests (the usual ones the doctors prescribe) test for antibodies to HIV. And yes, that can take up to six months to show. You can get a test which will screen for HIV (not the antibodies) and it can be detected within 3 days of exposure (though you should recheck at 30 days to be absolutely positive). Unless you have really good medical - or a really good excuse - you will probably have to pay to have this test done.

If you feel you have been exposed, it is imperative that you don't engage in any activity which can transmit the virus. You are up to 100 times more contageous during your first 30 days than you will be later on. Scary thought, since this is the time frame when the fewest people are aware they have the virus.

Best wishes to you. And try not to stress out too much until you have the results. Contrarry to popular belief, HIV is quite difficult to contract through regular sexual activites. Always play safe, and not at all until you are sure of your status. But don't lose any sleep until you get the results.

Actually I am just curious to ask.
How come you guys think I doubt that I got this virus?
Anyway, thanks you guys concern~

What do u mean by play it safe?
I am wondering if the process included DFK, DATY and have the main course with the rubber covered, is that still safe?

Silky, if you don't like your ex, this is a good time to visit her for the break up sex!!! Ok, bad joke, but c'mon, I didn't have anything intelligent to say.

As usual.

abstinence -- that's 'safe' ... do some reading on virus transmission and stop being an idiot.

HIV testing

if hospital does the test, your name will be on disease control center, and all over Canada. Go to the US web site and order 'oraquick', a FDA approved DIY test kit. Wai

WRONG.
At the Disease Control Centre, you can do your test under ANY name.
Your name is reported ONLY if you have HIV.

here in Victoria if you go to the Health Clinic you can use any name (eg: John) for ANY std test and they only report results if positive.

In Vancouver, they report ONLY if HIV is positive

Thanks for clarification. I have not thinking of using other names for std testing. Do they record other personal information of you e.g. health care number, contact infromation etc.

False alarm - again.

Wai ... they just ask for a name .... ANY name.

Don't pee for at least 3 hours before.
Good idea is to make an appointment, as they are fairly busy.
They will ask you questions about your sex life, etc.

And ... this should not be hard for any pooner..,.. be ready to drop pants in front of ( very often ) a good looking nurse.
