Due to powerful and complex emotional responses of all involved with an individual testing positive, counseling is continued even after the test has been completed.
Testing positive is devasting in many ways. One the outside, one may loose health/life insurance, suffer loss of employment and other liabilities. Because of this, an individual may cover the cost of the test themselves. They are then considered private pay patients and their information may not be released without consent.
Just a comment, but this is the reason we need universal healthcare. But lets not get into that.

Huntington's Chorea... Most of you will say "What is that". To me, its a huge part of my life. My mother has this dreadful disease. In my blog, I plan to give you a brief history on this disease as well as to share my thoughts on the testing for cures, the treatment and caring for an individual with this disease and the possiblity of me inheriting HD.
