HIV check.
I’m going to have an operation(surgery?) from at the end of this month to take my tonsils out. I’ve been annoyed by tonsillitis for a long time, so I've finally I’ve made up my mind to remove them. It was kind of a hard decision as everyone said it hurts especially right after operation. Although However, they affects affect on my life in such a bad way so there was literally no choice literally.
Today I had to go to the hospital to take a blood test and such ones other tests to let them know my health condition.
But I had been was really worrying worried about the blood test … I know I am the kind of the person who tends to worry too much though … the test which I was really was concerned worried about was the HIV check.
Once I knew that I had to take the test, I started to find out about the details of the infection and how we get it in our day to day life. In the end, I learnt the fact that everyone could be get the infection via several routes. The This fact made me really worried actually.
I really didn’t want to take the test as I was too worried if about whether I had it. Well eventually I built up the courage to take the HIV check, but I was so scared till I got a the result. In any case, I had to take it as long as I just to have the operation anyway though.
In my country, I’ve heard HIV is not still not too common, but there must be so many people who are HIV carriers. Probably Most of people probably think that HIV is someone else’s affair and not their business. Actually I was felt that way myself too.
I got so worried too much. So that my doctor even asked me if I was working as a prostitute. since I was too scared to know the result. So He doubted that I had that sort of job. Of course not …
Well, I might have been over worried as my friends didn’t understand why I was such so depressed due to just the HIV test, but I don’t regret it. Rather, it was my a good life lesson and it was good opportunity for me to be more careful about such infections and getting get more knowledge.
I know there are so many people who are worried like me, but they just can’t take the test as it’s too scary. I really do understand their feelings. But I want them to be courageous and take it for your precious boyfriend/girlfriend and husband/wife....
Hi Ayumi,
A few notes on a couple of the corrections:
"...have an operation(surgery?) " - you can really use either one, so you could say "I'm going to have an operation" or "I'm going to have surgery" or "I'm going in for surgery". I think "surgery" is typically used more often here, but I'm not sure if that's different in the UK, where you studied.
"However, they affect my life in such a bad way so there was literally no choice."
I changed "affects" to "affect" because when you are talking about multiple things, they affect something, one thing affects something. Since you're talking about two tonsils, I used that form.
