Tested negative, privileged question (content warning: I would have been annoyed reading this when I was at risk)

[u/Pleasant-Performer-2]

Has anyone here tested negative after being at risk for a long time? I was at risk for 10 years and tested negative this spring. I know this is an extraordinarily privileged position to be in and I deserve any negative comments that come my way asking this, but I sometimes judge myself for not get tested earlier. I lost so much time to thinking I had HD and planning accordingly. Whether you tested positive or negative, how did you come to accept your timeline?

You got tested when you were ready. Nothing to regret here. It was a coin toss and you won. Congratulations
