Your first thought will be

Is this how my story will end??

You’ll think of the farthest hospital from your house you can go to for the test.

So no one will see you. If you live in Isolo, go to a hospital in Ikorodu.

You’ll wonder if the nurse attending to you thinks you’re a giant whore.

Don’t judge me please.

You’ll wonder if the other people in the waiting area also think you’re a giant whore.

As the nurse draws your blood and takes it to the lab, you’ll wonder what your life will be like if the results come back positive.

How your family will react.

How your friends will react.

You’ll think of how you’ll possibly be able to afford the drugs.

God please let this be over already.

She’ll hand you the envelope and watch you open it with your hands shaking and you’ll think

She’s here to give me counseling. IT IS FINISHED!!!

The result says negative. You’ll look at the nurse in disbelief and think

WHAT THE HELL WAS ALL THAT DRAMA ABOUT?!

Like she can read your mind, she’ll lean in and whisper quietly in your ear

This will be you the moment you leave the hospital.
