I feel even more dumb now lol. Thanks for your words of encouragement though. I know they probably thought I was crazy for lying. I shouldn't have lied but I just felt so judged during my last experience. Felt like that was the only way I could contain my anxiety. Guess it's something I have to work on.

I'm new to this site, I hope I post this in the correct place. Question: Does the ER keep medical info about you in the computer after each visit? I'm currently an LPN and I'm in school to become a RN. I am HIV + and have been for years. I will try to make this as short as possible. I went to the ER a few months ago for a headache. This was my first time in the ER in a very long time. When asked what medicine I was on, I told them the med and that it was for HIV. The lady kind of gave me a weird look and ever since then I've been paranoid of going to the ER or Dr's appointment. Today I'm in the ER for another reason. I really didn't want to go because of my last experience but went anyway. When asked if I had any illnesses, this time I said no. The Dr. asked was I sure that I don't have anything to tell him, almost as if he knew I was lying. Before all of this, I saw the one nurse who checked me in mouth something to the other nurse before she took me in the back. A lady later came in my room to verify my insurance and address so I take it they still did have some of my information in the system from the last visit. Is it possible they put the HIV info in there too? I didn't even know ERs kept a chart on patients. Maybe I'm just paranoid but it's only because of the way I've been treated after disclosing my HIV status. Thanks in advance.
