     Looking after each other-includes take time to be with people you love,taking part in family functions and community events and talking to your partner about your Hiv infections.
     Thinking about making the best of life- involves talking to a friend or counselor to get support with emotional problems,having a  positive attitude towards life without guilt self pity and blame and also to continue working as long as possible.
      Looking after the future-this is by setting a goal or a project you want to achieve , making plans for the future,helping your family to understand your illness and how they can help and applying for social support where possible.

    Emotions that tend to come to mind are sadness, guilt, shame even thoughts of suicide come to mind...that's where counsellors and family should help the patients get through this time ..

    Learning to accept ones positive status is not easy hence the high recorded suicides or even not accepting the fact and deciding to spread it.however it takes time to accept but if the necessary support from friends and family is there then acceptance is made more easier.

TYPES OF HIV TEST

1.Antibody tests The most common HIV test is an antibody test. Antibodies are part of your immune system that are produced when you come into contact with an infection. Antibody tests look for this immune response. These tests can be finger-prick tests or use blood samples sent to a laboratory. If this result is negative or non-reactive, then you are HIV negative.

The western blot test takes longer (usually a week). It identifies genuine positive results. HIV antibody tests do not work as soon as you are infected because it usually takes four weeks for your body to generate antibodies to HIV. The time between infection and when your body ...

It  increases the likely hood  of users to engage in high-risk  sexual practice   with infected individuals. Drug abuse also interferes with  effectiveness  of HIV treatment.
