I got great feedback and messages after I made my HIV blog back in the days but what I see here makes me pretty sad. Not for me but for them. Very ignorant but I do wish everyone to stay healthy!
I'm really sorry for the ignorance and daft mentality you're witnessing in this thread. I read your blogs and you are by far the living example of how to value and treat life. You continue to live everyday as if it was just any other and you don't let it create shackles on you.
I'd be disgusted with myself. Like how in the world did I catch this? Hell, I'm not even promiscuous and I could count the boys I've penetrated on one hand. Sans for one, which was still safe, they were all committed relationships so I would be quite distraught, disgusted, confused, baffled, shocked, in disbelief, and maybe even suicidal. But also, I suspect it would open my eyes to realizing what's really important in life and start grabbing life by its horns because I could die at any second.
And wtf @ most of you saying that you'll kill yourself etc. You do know that there are people on this site who actually DO have AIDS/HIV, and all of the supportive comments they got when they were open about it in the blogs and now this what the **** is wrong with most of you.
If I got HIV, I would be devastated. Because the feeling of having HIV is horrible. Then when you realize that it's not the even the world, you will be a better person than you was. Don't let HIV take over you, you take over it.
I think anybody that could live with it is an incredibly strong person! It's not an easy diagnosis. Where I'm at in my life now, I'd take it as a sign and give up. Awkward, but true

I don't think people who said they'd kill themselves should be made to feel bad for saying that. The OP asked what you'd do and if they honestly feel like they couldn't handle it, ending their life would be their prerogative. It's an honest answer whether you want to hear it or not.
people should not be afraid of taking the exams cause the sooner you know, the better [if you're actually positive].
i have a friend that found out in the worse way possible that he was hiv positive. he was diagnosed with pneumonia and didn't resist and passed away. that's why IT IS very important to take the exams and always stay informed.

I don't think it's an honest answer, I just think they are being dramatic and ignorant answering that way.
Actually its possible. There are couples where only partner is positive. Considering medication and the possibility of becoming undetectable, it isnt as fearful for those who educate themselves on the subject.
