Something New Paper

I wasn’t too sure what I was going to do for my something new project and I kind of hate what I decided to do. For my something new paper I decided to go to a clinic and get tested for A.I.D.S. I wasn’t sure what I was in for, and had no clue what to expect. I decided to bring one of my friends with me, because I was scared and didn’t want to go alone. I wasn’t scared of letting them take the blood, I was scared of the wait.
During the wait I wasn’t myself, it was as if I wasn’t there. All I could think about is what the results would be. I kept thinking about the treatment I would have to go through for the rest. How nothing would be the same. People looking at me differently. I think one of the scariest moments in my life is taking thing test and waiting. Even though I knew I practiced safe sex before, it made me think. Think a lot harder about the choices that others and myself make. You never know what someone else has done because they could be lying to you. Someone could not even know if they have a disease, and just give it to people. Which is why it is very important to go and get tested if you have had unprotected sex.
To sit and wait around to find out if you have a deadly disease that could possibly kill you. Change everything in your life. Is beyond scary. It makes you think harder about being careful and not have unprotected sex. Not just A.I.D.S., there are many other diseases that people can get.
This new experience that I have gone through was rough. I didn’t like that I had to wait around for the results and worry, when there is nothing that I should worry about. Going through this new experience had made me concentrate on having nothing but safe sex, if I decided to even have sex. If I do decided to have sex I will also make sure to bring it up in conversation, and maybe suggest to the other sex to go get tested just to be safe....
