My friend found out he has AIDS he has lost over 75lbs. and now has started to develop blisters and looks sick, I dont act any different although he still has not informed me his mother did so I dont know how to act as far as to try and talk about it or what because he obviously doesnt want me to know.

Well, I wouldn't say that.....My friend mum is trying to infect her, with hiv...is that bad enough!!!!
I would say be there for your friend, he is going to the worst stages of the Virus which is destroying his immune system...just be there for him and don't forget to also protect yourself as well.
You can still be there for him and protect yourself at the same time.
Take care of your friend and yourself

You know it's so sad that some people take so long to come to terms with it.It took me about six months. i had to get drunk to call my relatives and then when they called back a day later i knew the cat was now out of the bag. So the only thing i could do was admit it. Since then it's been 10 years and only some on one side of the family is still not talking. Life goes on. I have my supporters and that's all i need. So my answer is yes it is hard but it needs to be addressed. Good Luck. also the other answerers are showing something necessary to get us through this and thats compassion. Thanks out there.

To be honest you don't need to tell him anything. Leave it an unspoken thing. He values your friendship very much and doesnt wan't to burden you with it. Right now he is only beginning to experience the worst and most painful part of this disease. You may be the only one left that doesn't treat him with "kid gloves". He needs that now more than ever! It'll be hard on you emotionally, especially in the coming six months, but keep the status quo. I've been through your situation and I know that it will not be easy. My heart goes out to you both.

Just make your friend comfortable and when the time is right they he will tell you. Continue to treat your friend the same this is the time that they need you most. So wait and the time will come. He is dealing with several emotions, feelings, regrets and other issues so just be there for him and it will all come to the light.

You need to say look man, I know and I still love you and I will be there for you and then really be there for him. That's what he really needs, a true friend. Not one that dances around the truth. You two do not have the time to play games.

Just continue to be his friend..whatever that takes...maybe you should confront him...but you'll know when the time is right.
