"Looking foreward to a day of relaxation with my dog Mandy."
7:44am, November 30, 2008

Two days ago I told my brother and a girl I was dating that I was tested HIV + back in January.  I had every intention to live by myself and never date anyone again till my brother introduced me to a very nice girl.  I did not intend to tell anyone, family or friends and was willing to take this to the grave with me till meeting this girl a few years younger than me.  She gave me the courage to share this with her and my brother.  Some day I will share it with other family members including my 20 yr old son, but want to wait till my almost 80 yr old parents are dead and burried as I don't want them worrying about me when they need to focus on their health and enjoy the rest of their lives knowing they raised their kids and all of us are going to be fine when they go to their eternal resting place.

Every time I think about being HIV + I wonder why me and will I ever be loved by anyone again or will I just have to live the rest of my life alone?  I can only hope that someday God will see fit to give man the knowledge to cure this illness and many others like it that are only treatable but not curable at this time.  Frown

    I think your doing the right thing by not telling your parent, they need not to know. One thing I have learned about being HIV you need to watch who you tell, when you think you know someone you don't they turn there backs on you. I ma learning to live with out a man. However I am trying to fine a solemate now that is HIV. I could not dream about giving it to anyone else.
