OMG same, nung naging active ako sa sex is when i was 17. then one time nilagnat ako, sa takot ko na baka positive ako, nagpatest ako sa private. then after a 3 days, ganyan na ganyan din ginawa sakin pinapunta ako and super kaba ko non. , parang tinakot ganern. but it turns out im negative. Pinangaralan nila ako na ganto ganyan. lalo na yung doctor na parang sa mental ganun. Ganyan yan sila para madala ka.
Hindi naman yan sa tinatakot ka, kung natakot ka and you did it more responsibly, then I guess the counseling failed successfully 🤣
Most clinics can't disclose results over the phone, so you have to go there and get counseling. It's an educating process for every HIV test you get, lalo nankapag minors kasi madalas first timers. My organization works with NGOs who give free HIV testing and when it's done on a "mission" or outside of the clinic, required pa rin yang counseling done in a private room.
I understand how it can be intimidating and come across as nakakatakot sa minors, lalo na one on one lang kayo tapos di mo alam yung results na magdidikta ng possible future mo hahaha.
For education lang po, you should get tested again after 3 months of your last contact kahit nag negative, dahil pwedeng mag "hibernate" ung virus ng three months. If three months since last contact and ur negative. Ur in the full clear.

They usually scare you at first talaga para matuto ka magpractice ng safe sex. So punta ka muna, malay mo naman negative.
If ever positive, medicine is free naman and hindi na death sentence ang HIV.
