OK If I go to a clinic or a doctor's office to get tested for HIV or AIDS and they find out that I have HIV or AIDs then what do they do? Do they mail me a letter that says I have HIV or do they call me and tell me I was positive for it? What happens? Do I go back to the doctor and ask them about my test results? I'm confused and I don't want to just wait this out and hope I find out--I want to know so I know what to do if I don't get the called/mail/whatever...anybody know? (link)

Every doctors office is different. Most usually give you a call and/or send a letter. No matter what they do you will find out so no need to worry about that. They usually give you an estimate on how long it will take until they get the test results then they will tell you how they will notify you. If they dont, just ask. If you are under 18 and you dont want your parents to find out yet you will have to tell them that or they may call and tell your parents or they will send a letter and your parents will open it. Some doctors offices may let you decide what to do. If you would prefer a phone call with the results ask them to call you or if you would rather walk in and get the results from your doctor in an appointment or from the nurse or receptionist ask if you can do that (just make sure you know which day they will have the results ready). You can always talk to your doctor about this too. He should be very helpful to you. I hope this helps. Good Luck!
Love, Tandra
ps. How am I doing? If you would like, I would appreciate feedback. I am new to the site. Thanks. :)
