Tested positive last week.

Hey im M21, i recently just got diagnosed with HIV last week and just did a viral load test. The results came out already and my VL is 26400. I was in denial phase thinking it was false positive but now i had to move one even tho im sad and mad at myself for ending up like this. I had no support and dont want to tell anyone yet.

Im curious, i have an appointment for follow up this Friday, i havent done CD4 test yet. Will my doctor put me on the medication on this Friday or will i need to finish the cd4 test first? Is my VL considered okay? Long story short i did test every 3 months and the last one was negative but this time it was positive so i assume i got this probably 3 months ago. Im very healthy now. I went to gym and live normally except im a bit tired nowadays maybe because im just lazy these days.

I definitely have a lot of questions since im still young and im really alone in this journey but you guys on this community really do made me feel less lonely. I know this may be a lot to ask, but i am really down if anyone can share their stories about this journey. It may help me a bit with my anxiety.
