Life is funny like that I guess
« on: June 22, 2014, 02:07:45 pm »
Here in my country on Friday is going to be regional testing day for HIV. I hear the importance of knowing your status, two outcomes can come from it: either your negative or positive. The negative ones get a get out of dodge free card and those who are positive well get depressed and saddened who is going to look after us. It is amazing that you have people out here who have risky and causal sex daily and they are getting a negative result but someone who is positive and was sexually abused and was hoping to remain a virgin til her wedding day, who respects herself and others doesn't get a get out of dodge free card, i get lonely at times because i have no friends who are positive and i normally have to settle for a guy because he is positive too. I guess it never gets better for those positive, I have tried to stay up but it is getting harder everyday for me, I am still single because when my status is known the union ends. I really don't know anymore.--Lane
