Comments on: Rite of Passage http://whenwewereliars.com/2006/05/25/rite-of-passage/ When we were wired, the world was like a secret. -- Matthew Good Fri, 21 Nov 2008 22:27:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Frankie http://whenwewereliars.com/2006/05/25/rite-of-passage/#comment-375 Frankie Mon, 29 May 2006 01:09:00 +0000 http://whenwewereliars.com/?p=297#comment-375 You are a very brave person and a very smart person as well. Brave for writing about your ordeal here and smart for getting tested. I myself get tested once a year, whether i have had sex or not. I work in the health care field so I am always around the possibility of being exposed to blood or body fluids. I also know what its like to be exposed to someones blood. I have had 5 HIV tests in the past year and all are neg. Now that was a stressfull time. But all is better now. You are a very brave person and a very smart person as well.

Congrats on taking it although I just let my doctor give it to me. Doesn’t that feel good to see or hear that negative on the test? Congrats on taking it although I just let my doctor give it to me.

I've taken them to be safe as well because you really never know. You don't have to be sleeping around to get something either. The waiting time is what killed me the most. When the answer was no I felt great. More people should take them. I may have destroyed any chance of meeting a woman in the blogosphere by admitting this but so be it.

I know that before each test I've taken...I've always said a little prayer that with all my poor judgement when it comes to the opposite sex, that I at least wasn't wrong in believing that I truly was the only one dumb enough to have been with them. Oh...and congratulations on testing negative!

I had to go through yearly tests as a child because of bloodtransfusions I received and it was always scary. Thank goodness you tested negative!!
