This is very tough especially if you took the test without really making up your mind to do so.
However, there is still hope...
The following can be done.
1. Take some time to really understand what this results mean,
2. You need to start thinking of a disclosure plan;who can you share your HIV status with...Friend, spouse, Parents, religious leaders etc. This will help to provide some form of relieve and support to you.
3. Have you been linked to a Hospital for care and treatment? if not, do you need one Please let me know.. i can be of great help.
4. After being effectively linked to a health facility you would go through some counseling sessions, have laboratory tests done and if eligible will begin taking the ARVs-Anti retroviral therapy.
5.You would have to imbibe what we call "positive living" values. Avoid reinfecting your self; avoid infecting others and keep in touch with the health care provider should you develop any side effects.
