I'm not sure what I'd do to be honest. I know I'd be distraught, but there are people in my life who live with it now so I know it's not as hopeless as some make it out to be.
My first thought would probably be but eventually with the help of my friends and family I'd come to terms with it and live out the rest of my years as best and happy as I could. I'd probably be depressed for a looooong time though.
Most likely fall into a deep and debilitating depression. But I'd hopefully get on all of the antiretrovirals I'd need and take them religiously. I'd also probably take my health more seriously; my diet would become stricter and I'd exercise more frequently.
Would also try to spend more time doing things that make me happy and that fulfill me as a person.
Obviously it's a serious disease so I'd be upset, but it's pretty manageable (for a disease of that kind anyway). There are people out there who have been living with HIV for 20+years now and they are still alive and not strapped down in a hospital bed, you wouldn't even be able to tell they're sick just by looking at them. It's bad, but not hopeless.
I'd immediately seek medical attention. Then cry just months, then just try to become optimistic about the situation.
But I'm too paranoid to get HIV. I'm the type that needs receipts before you tap that. I mean real receipts not a grindr message that says "hiv neg hbu?". And I don't do bareback, positive or not.

I don't know. I'd be depressed for a while, but it's not a death sentence. I'd probably worry more about the stigma and how certain people will react to it and treat me... friends, family and random bitches.
Well according to the exam I took, you better get antiviral treatments right away after you get pricked by a needle used on a suspected HIV patient, after that and especially after an HIV diagnosis, I'll be like confused at first. In our country, it's not a good thing for anyone to contract HIV whether it's financial, social and spiritual. people here judge you right away as a prostitute if you have HIV and even if they don't, our healthcare system here is the pits. if I were to have my way, I'll probably live my life to the fullest and do what's right and hope for the best.
