Hello

I was recently hospitalized for bp, and as a routine check, doc tested for hiv, first results looked bad! Second results inconclusive, third results inconclusive.

Now I have to wait three weeks to get retested...
It's eat in me inside! Everyone can see something is wrong but I'd prefer to keep it to myself.

I'm wondering if I should tell my folks, and girlfriend, girlfriend is in another country so there's no chance of her getting it.

Should I wait for hard facts, or say there could be a problem and hopefully get som support

I'd wait. Just tell them you maybe sick but you have to wait for the dr now. If you have therapist talk to them about it but you don't want to worry anyone yet.
