I have been certified to administer HIV testing for about one year now, and yesterday was "take 1" for me.
It's amazing what empathy can do. I recall being the person to get tested for HIV every 6 months. Placing your emotions in the shoe of the other person creates a safe space. A safe space creates communication and with that, truth.
It's very important to be able to speak in truth when taking a test such as an HIV test. As I tested, I couldn't help but to think about the courage it takes to simply KNOW YOUR STATUS.
I am proud to say, no matter what the outcome b/c knoledge truly is power and a directory for that path that's necessary to take due to the outcome, that I assisted in others knowing their status.
Takes 2 - infinity are coming up shortly....KNOW YOUR STATUS!
