It's not at all recommended to go to these kind of healthcare settings where unhygienic practices are followed. Always go to reputed ones. First of all get your baseline HIV antibody and antigen testing done through CLIA method. Do you have symptoms of fever, weight loss, night sweats or lymphadenopathy?
