Question: last Doctors visit, PA saw in my records that I was ex-rayed or tested for HIV, making appointment with doctor to discuss finding. Not clear of why I received test. I was given such test at a local VA Hospital where I have a PM doctor, the result I notice were in my medical records noted by the PA during my last visit, I've made an appointment with this non-VA primary doctor for 6 days from today, and I have an appointment with the VA doctor later this month of 22 May. My concern is which Primary physician can should answer my issues, do I have more primary doctors than needed. Had non-VA doctor over 20 years and VA primary for last 12 years. My health at present is COPD and AFib, treated by both over the last 7 years.Non-VA doctor has established my Pulmonary Spec faster than the VA, but testing is more rapid thru the VA, where in turn copies or forwarded to my non-VA doctor. The only problem with that is it seem results may never get noticed until a later appointment which just recently happened

Plan to get closure of HIV with non-VA doctor within next 7 day, hard discussion, need closure on subject, hoping its testing procedure thru-out VA system. As far having 2 Primary Care Providers seems unavoidable whereas Social Security Medicare and being eligible for VA benefits that also require a PCP. Having 2 PCP has made matters difficult due the emergency need for help, trying to left hand know what the right hand is doing
