How weird it feels waiting for an HIV test here, now.
Just last week, that was me.
The Chilean Consulate requires that each person turn in a negative HIV test when applying for a visa.
Although I was 100% sure I hadn't been born with HIV and about 99.9% sure I hadn't acquired it,
I couldn't help but think:
How would this test be different if I had been born on a different continent?
What if the results were truly uncertain?
How would the test be administered different if it were processed in a lab across the world?
What does it feel like to wait for an HIV test that you are pretty sure is positive?
