Common Questions and Answers about Anonymous aids testing in maine

aids

Avatar m tn The clinic I am thinking of going to offers free anonymous testing but a 10 dollar charge for confidential testing on their website. Should I go somewhere else? If it's an anonymous test, how do you even get your results back? I imagine the CDC would have no knowledge of how many people are infected with HIV in the u.s., if everyone went the anonymous route.
Avatar n tn Im still not sure if anonymous testing is just for aids ? Or is it for any std and if std testing is confidential what does confidential mean legaly ? Sorry if im dragging on with the questions I just don't have anywhere else to go to ask.. Im really alone with this except for here.
Avatar m tn t know very well at all that resulted in internal ejaculation. This was a HUGE mistake and one I very much regret and am dealing with on multiple fronts. My first fear (despite her telling me she was clean) was STD's. Wanting to be anonymous, I ordered tests from an online shop called privatemdlabs that uses LabCorp for their specimens. I had full tests performed 30 days after the event and all was negative.

Avatar n tn You did not have a risk from receiving a blowjob nor do you need to test.
Avatar m tn t know that there are any places who will do anonymous testing for stds. Many will do anonymous HIV, but not stds. However, if you go to a clinic, and get tested, they have to adhere to the same confidentiality laws that your regular doc does. Some places won't push it if you refuse to give some info, others will. Its really important that you get tested, and that if you have anything, that you tell your wife, as she could have it to, and you'd just end up re-infected.
Avatar n tn t even know there was a difference between confidential and anonymous. so i go to this anonymous testing place and the same thing happened. wtf? why should i be forced to disclose whether i'm straight or gay, etc? i have had alot of high risk encounters and am seriously uncomfortable disclosing this stuff to anyone, especially since i'm still in the closet and not ready to come out because #1, my parents would kill me and cut me off, meaning no more college.
Avatar n tn you could donate to the thai red cross.
Avatar n tn I intend to have an anonymous HIV/Chlamydia test done in about 3 weeks, but being in a foreign country, I am unsure if they are able to treat the latter (or other STDs in general) with the same proficiency that a US doctor could provide. I will be returning to the US in a couple months, however, but will not have insurance immediately upon arrival.
Avatar m tn 1)Hi,my first question is can CMV interfere in Hiv test 2) i had hiv ag/bg combo axsym and vdrl testing which was negative,can the virus be detected in both these test even if you have aids and take the test past 5 years ,im still worried because i had OI which i had mentioned earlier im still nervous about the hiv virus,is it possible it might have turned into full blown aids thats why the results were negative,can you explain what is full blown aids 3)Do i need cd4 count test,please explain
Avatar n tn i had sex with a prostitute once.jus once, and i fell really sick a week after i think.i got really paranoid, and so i thought id jus clear this and i took a anonymous rapid test by 'action for aids'(an organisation that works to help aids patience).i took it 8 weeks and 4 mnths.both turned out negative.oh and i had protected sex. but the problem is, i get this tonsillistis these days, and they last soo long, unlike before. Now this has alarmed me, and my paranoia is back.
Avatar n tn Thanks, i was worried that there may have been some outdated test still in use in some parts of the world that was only able to test for full blown aids rather than the early stages of HIV. So i can assume that international testing standards are more or less equal?
Avatar m tn We need to make a distinction between an anonymous test and a confidential test. In anonymous testing the test is done but no one knows who you are or how to get the test results to you. This used to be done with HIV testing but the experience was that many people who got tested did not get their test results with this approach. In contrast, with confidential test results.
Avatar f tn It's sound like depression in which you should take to a doctor. Just because you have a simingly good life does not mean you cannot have depression. It can happen to an one at anytime. There is no one type of person that has depression. But you may want to talk to your doctor about it. Good luck!
Avatar m tn Options for Anonymous or Confidential Testing in Massachusetts" and open it up. http://www.maclearinghouse.com/PDFs/HIV_AIDS/hiv-counseling-eng.pdf See what it has to say on page 2 regarding the window period. "It can take up to 6 weeks for your body to produce enough antibodies to be detected by the test" By the way, the first page shows how this is sponsored and supported by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health HIV/AIDS Bureau - June 2003.

Avatar n tn I suggest you call the California AIDS hotline at 1-800-367-AIDS. They can direct you to an ANONYMOUS testing site. I think you should also ask them to direct you to one with counselling + rapid tests (not traditional test) because I don't want you to wait to obtain your results (seeing how nervous you are). It is important that you go in for ANONYMOUS testing.
Avatar m tn Little or no STD risk since the sex was protected. There was no point in urine testing -- gonorrhea and chlamydia can't infect the urethra via anal exposure. The chance of HSV from a single event like this is zero for practical purposes. And no HIV risk. So no need for further testing. But if you want 100% test reliability for HIV, you'll need either another oral fluids test at 3 months, or a DUO blood test at any time.
Avatar f tn I just found out about 12 years ago my mate was unfaithful and i have gotten tested recently with an third generation eia antibody test hiv1/2 with reflexes, a rapid blood test, 4 oraquick home tests and all came back negative. But ive read ur post that some people with aids antibodies wont show on those tests. Im very scared that im in that stage and the tests i took arent sufficient enough to know for sure.
Avatar f tn Before I post on these forums can anyone tell me how private it is? By giving an email address to make an account are you traceable or can you ask for advice knowing it's anonymous?
Avatar m tn I have seen a post in the community saying that the fourth generation test can completely exclude AIDS after 28 days. I would like to ask the next. After having sex 26 days, did 4 generations test, can you rule out AIDS infection? I wonder if the 26 day fourth generation test is the same as the 28 day fourth generation test? Does it have to be 28 days later? Does 28 days include the day when I have sex?
Avatar m tn Should i get more test done because i experienced pain in testis some time back and buzzing in the penis ?
Avatar m tn You should look into getting into your local alcoholics anonymous group. It is free, and you do not have to give your name or even speak if you dont want to, plus there is a policy in these groups that you do not discuss what is said in the group outside of the group. Besides that, there are natural and over the counter sleep aids that can help you sleep at night, without needing to drink. Best of luck to you!
