No "jessica h". I dont have HIV and I actually was reading a book.

I have never been diagnosed with HIV, but if I was I would try to make the best of what time I had left. I have had Breast Cancer and have survived now for 5 years, only because I wouldn't let it beat me. It is all a mind set.
God bless anyone who is a survivor

I'd be very disappointed indeed. Yet I know life would not end it would just be different. Everything that is possible for one without HIV is still possible for one infected with HIV (with caution). And IF it ever happens I would have to face the fact that I played a part in my own self-destructive behaviour (unless from a blood tranfusion). I would continue on.

Logically, I'd line up a chemical cocktail treatment and go on with life. In practice, I'd likely feel so humiliated & isolated among family & friends that I would probably withdraw and slip into a self destructive life style.
It would ultimately boil down to as whether I could find acceptance & support in a distant & nourishing environment. Not a proud answer.

If I were diagnosed with HIV I would be really puzzled (since I'm a virgin), I would then become angry because I have a life-threatening disease and I have no idea whereand how I contracted it. Then I would be sad and have self-pity, and at the end of the emotional rollercoaster I would be somewhat "normal" because I would have realized that the disease didn't really change me.

having HIV is not something u want, but its not the end of the world, and medicine is coming on a bit so in a few years they may find a cure. i would be gutted, but i think that maybe people saying they would kill themselves is a bit extreme, do they even actually know what HIV is???

I would ensure that I was seeing my Doctor regularly and I would start eating properly (vitamins).
I would take a restful vacation. I'd let my family know. Then I would go on with my life.

Educate myself and my family about HIV and AIDS, then I would make it my life's work to educate the public.

Wow! That's a tough one! First of all I'd make sure I was doing all that I could to take care of myself. Then I'd make sure that I was only having SAFE SEX IF ANY AT ALL!!
I have genital herpes whitch isn't even close but it definitely opened my eyes!
