for the love of god you do not catch HIV by eating behind someone, or drinking behind someone..or touching a person who has HIV...HIV is not AIDS..there is a difference..and yes people live there lives every day ..normal lives with HIV...
im disappointed in the ignorance of the world today..i really am..it makes me upset to hear someone tell me that his family condemns him due to his diagnosis..it bothers me that still now people are afraid of the things they do not understand..and it frustrates me that people can not see past a diagnosis...it doesnt matter what the dx is..
i have mental issues..that if ppl know would treat me differently..would see me differently..and so i keep that stuff to myself..because i can appear normal..
i happen to know someone with hiv and i treat him no differently than i treat anyone else i know..yes there are precautions because of the possiblitly of an accident or something..but just general everyday interactions are no different..i see him no different..i dont shun him or make fun of him or ignore him..and i would never never hurt him the way others hurt him by treating him different due to a diagonis..
i dont understand the world today..i dont understand that there is still so much ignorance..and closed minded judgements...im just disappointed in everything today..

i know how you feel..you actually know more then that one person....i and my husband have hiv...though we rarely tell ppl...i told my father and amazingly he took it very well..he and my mother know about it and wont tell no one...
i agree w/u..u cant catch it unless you have blood to blood transfusion....hiv will eventually become aids when the Tcells become too low...then if it stays too low like that you eventually pass away...my husband has had it for about 17 yrs...yes i knew about it when i married him..he told me the first night we talked..i didnt care...he knew of my mental disorders...and he was ok w/it...i knew the risks and i got it from him...its ok though...there is no way on earth i would ever leave him...
unfortunately we live in a world of bigotry and hatred...ppl who refuse to comprehend what ppl like us have....try not to let it get to you....blessings hon...
