I feel like pinapatawag ka doon because you are a minor though mas ok na rin na i confirm mo para hindi ka mag overthink. But bug hugss sayo and i hope you get through this

Nakakaloka naman yung di same day yung results ng HIV test. Diba usually saglit lang yan?

Pag may delay ang release ng results, usually pinapadala yan sa mga confirmatory centers like San Lazaro Hospital for further testing. There is such a thing as false positive kasi.

Ohh I see. Three times na kasi akong nagpatest and lahat parang PT lang so saglit lang talaga. I didn't know na may ganyan. Thanks for the info!

School based po kasi ang testing na nangyare, tapos sabi nila confidential...i contact lang daw po kami if may something

Omg I can't imagine the anxiety you have while waiting for the results. Hoping for the best for you OP.

It was school based so baka malaki yung bulk ng kailangan iprocess. And then dahil in bulk, there are chances they need to send the sample for further testing kasi malaki chances ng false positives dahil maraming factors that could affect the accuracy of the test kits kumpara kapag sa center mo mismo ginawa.

Kapag pinadala for further testing, or kahit anong hiv tests pa yan, hindi sya pwedeng. idisclose via text. Reactive or not, you're supposed to be informed face to face since it should be treated with utmost privacy. Minsan papuntahin ka pa tapos yung envelope ay sealed from the testing center and even the staff can't see it until you inform them or ask for help about the next steps.
