HIV test

it was a very long day and a tiring one,, this story is going to be a bit lengthy, so bare with me.

it's a public holiday for n9 today, since it's so hard to ask wan to cuti, when he is actually cuti, i purposely took cuti so that we can take care of some errands that needed to be done during office hours.

one of which is taking the HIV TEST. The results will be valid only for 6 months, that's why i didn't do it any sooner. The day before i asked my sister, what should i bring along to the clinic tomorrow? and she said that i should have downloaded and printed a HIV form from JAWI's website, bring that along. since i asked only after i get home, and the next day, i cuti already, so i didn't have the chance to print it for free at the office. no printer and an expired internet connection at home.!

luckily our appointment with the clinic was during the afternoon, 2.45pm onwards. so today, while we were in shah alam, we went to the famously-known-among-uitm-students-cyber-cafe "MUTIARA" at section 2 shah alam. their connection was sh*tty..lembab giler..so we went to another cybercafe next door, within 15minutes, we were able to print out all the online forms (marriage application forms) including HIV test form. since we were printing a lot of forms relating to marriage application, the cybercafe staff wished us "Selamat Pengantin Baru!" hahahahah..he's so sweet..:)

mine was settled, everything is there to be downloaded in JAWI's website, but wan's (since he lives in Selangor, he has to go to JAIS' website) but no form for HIV is available to be downloaded because they made it available in Jab Agama Islam only for one reason being: we need to pay RM10 for it..!

it was already 12.45 in the afternoon, of course all government offices were already close, plus, it's friday, they would re-open their counters as late as 2.45pm!..how? our appointment was on 2.45..if we cancel today's appointment, God knows when wan will cuti again!.

through the website, we came to know the nearest Jab Agama Islam Selangor branch near us are: one in Kuang and another in Keramat.. not very near though..*sigh* since i know Keramat area better than i know Kuang, we planned to go there and get the form and then go straight to Jinjang..(thank god they built DUKE highway!!!)

so we went to Keramat. 2.45pm, wan asked the counter and they said that the form was not available here, u can simply go to the clinic and fill the form there!..argghhh!!..b**i...hahaha..

so i drove straight to clinic Jinjang. we arrived there around 3.15pm..it was an oke timing, thank god.

there, both of us needed to fill three forms. Since we've made an appointment, we didn't have to wait too long..Klinik Jinjang sangat pantas! When i dropped our forms to the Medical Officer, he asked for the JAWI HIV downloaded form..he then told me that only JAWI provides HIV form, while other states don't..hahahhahaha..sakettttttt hati ini kena main dgn JAIS..

after 20minutes, we've got the results, the results being...WE CAN GET MARRIED! yey..maknanya negative la..heheh..(that medical officer also wished us "Selamat Pengantin Baru" hehehe..sungguh happy saya ni)

to sum up, here are the facts that i have learned today that i want to share with you people who haven't gone through HIV TEST hassle..:)

~ JAWI provides HIV test form, JAIS doesn't

~ for bakal pengantin who resides in KL and Selangor u can download every marriage-related forms in JAWI and JAIS websites

~ HIV test results valid only for 6 months, so u can do it 6 months prior to ur nikah date and not sooner than that

~ klinik kerajaan hanya charge RM1 untuk test tersebut, most (or all?) klinik kerajaan offers HIV test services (bwk GL, dpt free yahooo!)

~ all klinik kerajaan in KL yg buat HIV test, hanya buat HIV test after lunch hour, 2.30pm everyday except friday 2.45pm, and please, make an appointment!

~ result dpt within 20minutes or less

as a conclusion, do your homework, ask around about it before u go through it,,, malu bertanya sesat jalan, mcm kami..hahaha
