Answers:
First off, not everyone with HIV has done drugs or are whores. If you have had unprotected sex, then you can be at risk for getting HIV.
Most doctors don't want to tell you results over the phone due to confidentally. Maybe the doctor wants to see you in person to talk with you about having safe sex.
The good news is, if you do find out you are HIV+ then there are excellent programs and treatments out there so you can lead a normal life.
HIV doesn't mean that it is the end of the world like it did when we first discovered it. There are medicines, expert doctors, and organizations to help you.
If you find out you are not HIV+, then PLEASE refrain from having unprotected sex. This way you can be assured that you won't get ANY STD.
