My test is inconclusive, so I am lowkey stressing out. I will get tested again, but I am praying that I am negative.

I need to relax and try to focus to be okay. I want the counselor to text me again and tell me what to do next.

I need to do more research and think of my past intimate relationships.

I am in shock! Inconclusive test?! Do I have it or not??

Now I have to go through there whole process again! I either need to get re-tested or never know the truth, why does it have to be me with the inconclusive test.

Thinking through the 4 questions felt stressful. It was an overwhelming feeling thinking about how a small white envelop contains information on whether or not I have a disease that can be passed to others if not treated, and can kill me if I don't seek treatment.

I am super scared.

I need to talk to my partner and people important to me.

I want to counselor to tell me my result immediately.

When I leave, since I tested negative, i will research more on safe sex, and reflect on the choices I had made that lead me to get tested.

# data[].attributes.body
Walking in the office I would feel extremely nervous about my results. After hearing that I am positive I would want to look into treatment to prevent HIV from progressing into AIDS. I would want the counselor to maybe guide me and show me a path to treatment and resources I may need. After I leave I will notify anyone I have been with before getting tested.

# data[].attributes.body
This activity was insightful. Each of us put in different situations for results and seeing the various reactions is intriguing!

# data[].attributes.body
I think this is a great activity because we are able to see the reactions of others in different situations.

# data[].attributes.body
My reflection on this activity would be that getting tested is a nerve wracking experience. However it sheds light on the importance of getting tested, so It was a good activity to participate in.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I feel happy that I got a negative result. Im dancing on the way back home.

2. I need to tell my partner this news, so that they would be reassured.

3. I would want my consular to keep my results private.

4. I will continue to have safe sex.

# data[].attributes.body
This activity was great and gave me an insight into what it would feel like to actually be diagnosed with the disease

# data[].attributes.body
I'm hopeful that I don't have HIV. I have to get tested again, so there's still no point in stressing out before my results.

I want the counselor to let me know the next steps in case I come out HIV positive.

When I leave, I will go on about my day and tell people in my life how much I love them and pray to God and the universe that I'm negative.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt overwhelmed, not knowing what to expect beforehand.

I am scared

After finding out I tested positive, I felt numb.

I can't move. I'm shocked

I keep thinking about my partner and if he might also be infected.

I keep thinking what my future might look like like and i cant help but think about all the changes that are about to happen in my life

# data[].attributes.body
This activity was a good reflection in the sense that it's allowed us to sympathize with people who may be HIV positive by putting ourselves in their testing shoes.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is a very good activity to try and understand the situations people experience on a daily basis. I think it also makes us more aware of how real this is.

# data[].attributes.body
my reflection on this activity would be that its very insightful and prepares us for a real life case scenario.

# data[].attributes.body
This scenario really does make me put myself in other peoples shoes. It’s a bit stressful for me even just thinking of myself going to go get checked of the slight possibility of being postive.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Feeling anxious and scared because having an unknown result is still scary and strenuous. Feeling anxious that now I have to wait longer to get a result.

2. I need to continue participating in safe behaviors or limit my risk factors as much as I can.

3. When I leave I might need a moment to self-regulate and do research as to why my test was indeterminate.

# data[].attributes.body
Honestly I’m so afraid of an outcome like this. Even if I don’t participate in too many at risk behaviors I still think I’d end up being anxious through every part of this.

1. Holy crap I’m doomed who gave this to me

2. I’ve got to have some hard conversations with people and look at my treatment options

3. Please advise me counselor!! Can I trace this back to someone? Am I eligible for anything to help me mentally?

4. Honestly I think I’d cry and have a panic attack probably set up an emergency therapy session and talk to my loved ones.

# data[].attributes.body
I am thinking about where I could have contracted it to be honest, or what kind of behaviors did I participate in to make me test positive. I am very nervous.

I need to talk to my partner and previous partners I've had to inform them that they should also be tested.

I want the counselor to give me some advice on what to do next and reassure me as I am probably not feeling the greatest.

When I leave, I will begin to think of how to change how I live to accommodate the new realization.

# data[].attributes.body
How was it so that my test turned out to be inconclusive? Does that mean that I could have HIV? It was already a lot to get tested in the first place, let alone again.

I need to go tested again just to make sure.

I would like the counselor to educate me on how the test could have been inconclusive and what it means. When I leave I will have to contemplate on the possibilities of risk and wait upon my results. In the mean time I will inform my partner that I am still in the process of getting tested.

# data[].attributes.body
I’m scared because I thought I was hiv positive turns out I wasn’t so I’m relieved. I need to be more cautious about my sex life . I want my counselor to give me advice on different ways to ask my future partners if they have ever had a disease or ways to ask them to get tested before we do anything . When I leave I am gonna continue to have a safe sex because I had a negative result so that means I was also doing the right thing .

# data[].attributes.body
I thinking about the next steps and I am stressing out. I want to get tested again so I know my results for sure.

I need to book again with the counselor and see what my results were and possibly that made my results inconclusive.

I was the counselor to talk me through my next steps and maybe comfort me.

I need to go research about HIV as soon as possible and what it means to have an inconclusive test.

# data[].attributes.body
I am a bit confused on how the test was inconclusive and am stressed about having to re-do the entire process.

I need to reschedule a testing appointment.

I want the counselor to let me know what went wrong with the test, was it me or them? And how to make sure the next test goes smoothly.

When I leave I will reflect on how I put myself at risk and how much it has affected my life through time-consuming appointments and anxious waiting.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked that this activity made me think about how I would act in a situation where I could have HIV. It helped me realize how much stress one goes through even before knowing whether or not they test positive.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm still a bit nervous, not knowing an accurate answer.

I need to retake the test asap.

I want the counselor to tell me what I can do in the meantime and what additional steps to take.

When I leave, I will take the time to look up more information about the virus and think about what I can do, such as talk to my partner.

# data[].attributes.body
My results are inconclusive? What does this mean?

I need to get retested but that means another 2 weeks of not knowing.

I want the counselor to help me get re tested as soon as possible. How often do inconclusive tests happen?

When I leave I'll rethink every encounter I've had.This is going to be the most stressful next two weeks! Could I be positive? Im so confused.

# data[].attributes.body
I was nervous but I was pretty sure I was going to test negative. After finding out I was in fact negative I was relieved but humbled and after I leave I'm going to buy 1000 condoms and peer pressure my friends into having safe sex

# data[].attributes.body
I am worried because I don't know my results. In a way this is worse than knowing my diagnosis because at least I would know what steps to take next in taking care of my health. The only thing I know is that I need to take the test again. I would like the counselor to explain why results sometimes appear incunclusive. When I leave I will inform a partner or prevous partners about my results and will immediately book another appointment.

# data[].attributes.body
Why are my results inconclusive?? I'm really worried if I have it or not. Wouldn't it be negative if I didn't have it? I need to go get tested again to see if I have it or not. If I don't get tested, I would never know and I don't want to go through life like that. I should ask the counselor what they think and why did the results come out inconclusive. When I go home, I'm going to research what these results could mean and tell my partner about what I'm dealing with.

# data[].attributes.body
With an inconclusive test, I’m not sure what my results will be and what are the proper steps I should be taking. I am incredibly nervous because I will have to wait even longer for tests results and if I test positive, I would want to know as soon as possible. I would like the counselor to take me through the steps of testing once more in order to get a new test out as soon as possible. Once I leave, I’m not sure what I will do other than hope that the next test results come back with something other than inconclusive.

# data[].attributes.body
my reflection on this activity was very eye-opening since it was really unique to see all the possible ways the results could show up for testing. I didn't even know that an inconclusive test was possible.

# data[].attributes.body
This activity opened my eyes to what it could be like to go through the motions of taking a test and receiving results that sometimes you may not want to hear/know. I believe including an option like an inconclusive is really smart because while it may be less likely, it is possible and should be highlighted more.

# data[].attributes.body
Honestly I feel like this is a real scenario that so many people go through but usually people just think like this’ll never happen to me so trying to imagine yourself in the position of “omg it’s positive” is actually so scary. This activity made me realize that I’d probably not be tested just to avoid the anxiety but I think if I was part of a more at risk population then I’d probably end up getting tested.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this activity is a good way for us to know what people deal with in real life and all the thoughts that go through their head when they get tested. I also think it's a helpful way for us to see how we would react and prepare us if we do get tested.

# data[].attributes.body
I’m feeling very anxious because I don’t know if I’m positive or negative. I have to go through the process again, hoping the test will come back negative. I would really like the counselor to discuss treatment options in case the result is positive, as well as ways to prevent HIV. When I leave, I will use condoms and other preventive care to protect others from becoming HIV-positive in case I do have it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the activity is a good way of putting us in the headspace of a person who gets HIV tested and helps us have empathy with everyones situation

# data[].attributes.body
This activity makes me realize the different scenarios that could happen when getting tested for HIV.

# data[].attributes.body
This activity opened me up to new perspectives on people's thoughts and reactions in this situation.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is really eye opening because a lot of people, including myself, we don't think about HIV testing or how scary it is to be exposed, or at risk, or evening curious.
