The 'Tested Positive For' meme format gained massive traction as a subversion of serious medical announcements, particularly during the health-conscious climate of the early 2020s. Instead of reporting a virus, users began substituting the 'positive' result with humorous traits, fictional conditions, or excessive fandoms. It typically mimics the layout of a laboratory report, a text message alert, or a doctor's note to add a layer of mock-seriousness to the joke. This template is a favorite for self-deprecating humor or hyperbole, allowing creators to 'diagnose' themselves with everything from 'being a hater' to 'needing a nap,' making it a versatile tool for social media engagement.
