First month tested poz
« on: September 06, 2011, 08:15:50 am »
Hi guys,

Just to shared with you guys that I have finally went through the first month joining this club. The whole story began just right after new year, when I started to have health problem. First was chest pain that later diagnosed as gastro-esophageal reflux disease. The resulting stress from the illness and also from work has then worsened my condition. This finally caused me more atypical chest pain and anxiety disorder. Having a father with cadiac by-pass surgery, I was chickened out totally. So for the world record I did had 5 times exercise stress test and even ct-scan in 4 different hospitals in just 4 months. Then on my 32rd birthday in July I was admitted to hospital in the middle of the night for cardiac arrhythmia investigation. They found a bit of problem with pvc in which for normal people should not be a severe case. Doctor blamed for an on going stress and loss of my body mass over the past 7 months. After went through cancer screen, colon ct scan, kidney, liver, and in fact for all test for the whole body system, one day the guy suggested my to check my HIV status which I have not done for quit sometimes.

Here you go, there is good news in bad news after grey days, isn't it. Finally found something after 8 months, thanks god they got me tested poz !!! Strange enough I don't today remember any more how my feeling was. And to be honest I did even have time to think how I got the virus ot to feel sorry and pity for myself. I immediately went to get my CD4 and vl counted. And just a few days after I started my avr treatment.

My mom always says that what has happened is always a good thing. So I take her statement though none in my family has known this new thing I have yet. Perhaps this new chapter of life will give more reason to learn how to live, be a better person, even get stronger perhaps. Meanwhile keep your finger crossed for me.......it is a long road to go I hope!
