In this text Prof. Dr. Djordje Jevtovic, chief of the staff for all Serbian HIV patients literary says:
“Facing the disease is really heavy.
Infected are getting instinct for revenge, they are furious, become depressed, a suicidal thoughts. Unfortunately this reality-crash is worsened by the fact that family is rejecting them as by rule.
Next is firing out from the job, abandonment by their friends,
And those who stays strive to see them as rare as they can.
There was a HIV patient whose parents were boiling the dishes that she/he was using, and have locked her into the room during the neighbor's visits. Often parents raise a hell of a noise when they realize that there is a child from a HIV patient between the other children.
All this is a result of unawareness of a Serbian people, who thought that you can catch a virus just by riding in a trolley.
It has even happened that HIV patients were refused in a medical care institutions because they are poz.”
If those are the words of an eminent doctor, you can just imagine a picture of us by an ordinary people.                                                  Al

Keep in mind what I told you about the ways to deal with this kind of ignorant people.  I know it is easy for me to say that, but you've gotta find a way to protect yourself first, and your family next!
Keep the faith, buddy.

Hugs,
Val
