Should I apply for a work visa or hold off?

Hi, European Pakistani here, applying from EU through my company. Had my work visa approved previously but it expired and I couldn’t travel due to the situation.

Now I know Pakistani visas in general are being rejected, but I’ve seen few posts where a British Pakistani too had his visa rejected (He was applying from Pakistan)

Since my company has already once applied for me and this will be the second time, it’ll probably be the last time they’ll try, and I don’t want it to be rejected.

So should I go ahead and tell to apply or wait for a week or two.

Want to move by end of June. Thanks!

Going crazy thinking about my HIV test

Hi - I had unprotected anal sex, 5-6 years ago, and oral sex 3 years ago — in Dec 2025, I went and got blood tested it was HIV AG/AB blood tests (for those who are wondering why i left it for so long, it never crossed my mind to test but i did it to be sure)

The test came back negative for Hiv, Hep B, C or syphilis. It was only positive for Hep A, which my doctor told me it couldve been due to you drinking dirty water.

Now I am going crazy, thinking what if the lab made a mistake? what if i tested too early? what if i have it but they couldnt detect it.

Now I have booked another test for tomorrow, and I am having sleepless nights that what if the results come back positive? how possible is it?

please advice, im going crazy.
