I decided to retab this with updated lyrics and correct chords; as previous tablatures 
incorrect.
NOTE: For the most part, the song is practically all quick down-strums - but not 
to.

 VERSE 1:

Em
It�s out of my hands and all I can do it wait
Cmaj7
It�s the not knowing that has put me in this state
Am
The minutes feel like hours, the tension is too great
B7                                           (stop)
I�ve done my part so now it�s in the hands of fate...


 CHORUS 1:
        Em                   C
Waiting for my AIDS test to come back
     D                                      B7
I shouldn�t have fucked that prostitute without a prophylactic
        Em                   C
Waiting for my AIDS test to come back
    D                               B7
Regret is dripping from me like my semen down her crack
           Em
And now I know�


 VERSE 2:
Em
My nerves, they have been frayed; my pants, they have been shat
Cmaj7
I know the nurse will say, �It�s time to have a chat�
Am
At least I�ll never worry about getting... fat
B7                           (stop)
I should think positive � no, wait, I didn�t say that!


 CHORUS 2:
        Em                   C
Waiting for my AIDS test to come back
    D                                B7
I never should have blown the tranny in my Cadillac
        Em                   C
Waiting for my AIDS test to come back
        D                                  B7
I just had to taste that sweet, forbidden nectar from his sack
Em
And now I know�


 VERSE 3:
Em
Is it over, will my jersey be retired?
Cmaj7
Will my name stitched upon a quilt be required?
Am
Did I make a difference, was my life inspired?
B7 (single strum)
Will Denzel Washington defend me when I�m fired?


 CHORUS 3:
        Em                   C
Waiting for my AIDS test to come back
 D                               B7
Eating assholes shouldn�t be an aphrodisiac
        Em                   C
Waiting for my AIDS test to come back
D                              B7
If I�m clean I swear to God I will stop shooting smack
         Em   A Asus2 A   Em   A 
A
...probably


 BRIDGE:
 Em                   A Asus4 A   Em        
       A    Asus4 A
Boys and girls, don't be nieve - take it from your Uncle Steve
 Em                  A Asus4 A   Em         
     A     Asus4 A
AIDS cares not whom it affects; caught from unprotected sex
 Em                A Asus4 A        Em      
     A    Asus4 A
Sharing needles, blood or spit, or piss or semen, even shit
       Em                   A    Asus4 A
From handshakes, sneezes, toilet seats
       Em                A     Asus4 A
From monkey bites and uncooked meats
       Em              A         Asus4 A
From dirty coins and dreadlocked hair
       Em              A    Asus4 A
From certain children in daycare
       Em              A      Asus4 A
From drinking water, breathing air
   Em                A   Asus4 A
I tell you, AIDS is everywhere!


 OUTRO:
   C                  D
Oh God, I can't take anymore!
    C                   D
I think I'll run right out that door!
     C                     D
But wait, the nurse comes straight away!
 C (single strum)  D (single strum)
Tell me, what does my test say...?

     E
I�m okay!
 D  E
I�m okay!
           D  E
It�s just chlamydia�
