I have not told my family, don't know how to
Why would you? Is there a reason you want to share this with them?
am afraid they will not take it very well.
Why? Surely it's not because you had sex, I mean they did not think you were a 53-year-old virgin and we all know sex comes with risks.
I will never find any one to love me like this. Yeah... I know stupid feeling but I am almost kind of ashamed of myself. I never thought for one second that this was going to be the way I finished my life.
You are 53, so far from finished and having HIV doesn't define you. I would be more stressed about herpes than HIV.
Anyhow, it is early days, you are still digesting the diagnosis and getting your head around it, a few months from now you will no longer even think about it. I'm not in the most helpful mood tonight, sorry about that, but I just wanted to say "Hi" and let you know you are not alone, we're here for you.
