Also, stress releases hormones in the brain (like adrenaline) that, over time, can wear you down!. You can run really fast or for a long time, but not both!. Proper exercise, deep breathing, and meditation help anxiety, but for goodness sake, get the results of the test! 2-1/2 months to wait is crazy!. Hope it's negative, but I have a dear friend who has lived very well with HIV for 20 years!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
