[sci.med.aids] confusion

(Please read this as a confusion in a post has to be cleared up)

Well it looks like one of my letters was ambiguous.

I mentioned in a previous posting that I went through a "practice (HIV
antibody) test".  Well It was misconstrued by a person that I actually took the
test. (And after rereading my post I can easily see how this happened.)

What it actually was ,as mentioned in future posts, was a Guided Image of a
test. This allowed me to get some feelings what it be like to take the test.
(Although it is not the real thing in many ways, and I will not pretend it
is...it just gives me an idea of where people who are thinking about/got tested
might be coming from.

So no I am not in reality HIV+, and I had to mention that in order for my
future posts not to be taken in a way which would not be true.

To the person who misconstrued it, and to the rest of the people on the net, 
I'm sorry, It was my fault for the ambiguity, and I hope that were and will be
no serious problems.

This will not stop me from posting, but I will have to watch out for any
ambiguous meanings my posts might have in the future (although I probably will
not catch them all.)

Thanks for reading this post, as it will save me from posting my exact
standpoint every time.
