What would you do?

Question

Just a scenario...

You've been in love (madly in love) with your partner for years upon years. Your partner and you are engaged and the wedding is drawing near. Then, your partner comes to you with the news that s/he has contracted aids. Assuming s/he did not contract AIDS sexually... What would you do? (You have gone to the clinic and you have tested negative for AIDS)

What if you're a female pregnant with this man's baby?
What if you're a male and she's the mother of your BORN child?

(If you're a male try thinking as the female and if you're a female try thinking like the male...)

Just in case... This is nowhere near happening to anyone in my life including myself (Knock on wood)...This is just a scenario to better understand other people’s (Your) views .

Thank you

Answer 1

Unless the other caught it from blood products I would be sceptical of the reason for contraction.. I had a cousin that died of Aids.. She caught it from her boyfriend who was a haemophiliac.He caught it from the Red Cross tainted blood She was already infected when he tested positive.. So they stayed together.. He was Innocent and she was already positive... So they enjoyed the life they had left together. Both have passed away since..

Myself?? I would be history. But people are so different .. Magic Johnson says he still has women willing to sleep with him..knowing full well that he is positive..

In this scenerio, I believe most people would run the other way.

Sticking with this can only end in misery.

Health is so important, and that is why everyone needs to be very conscious of what their health condition is, and if someone contracts A.I.D.S., they should be truthful and forthright with a contemplated partner, and the other innocent party should not have to feel any guilt.

Having A.I.D.S. puts somebody in a different category.

It's not what people expect, but it happens...unfortunately.

Once you get tested prior to marriage, everything should be revealed. In addition to A.I.D.S., there are a host of other ailments which would compromise a relationship.

Again, both parties to a contemplated marriage should be honest and forthright with each other.

Without a clean bill of health, you can't expect to have a fulfilled marriage. Of course, there are many different types of people in this world, so some would not change their position and may accept the other party's weakness.

They say love is blind, and in many ways, it is.

Your scenerio has been reality for many, actually an eye opener.

It's not all gold that shines. (That's my grandmother's expression)

Me, I would run the other way.

Answer 3

There is a saying "Sh*t happens". The person did nothing wrong to contract the aids, the partner already has it, so what has to change.

Answer 4

either way, take responsibility. if you love one another this is only one of the many obsticals you will be facing in marriage. the question to ask is this the one & only person you want to truely spend your life with??? if so, you take the whole package & love them unconditionally!!! for example, would he still loved you if you never lost your kangeroo pouch, after having so many children???

don't think about scenarios too much, just dive in & go with the flow. remember your vows, til death do you part.

Answer 5

Don't you have other obsessions that something which is none of your concern ? And why do you have to poke like that in other people's problems ??? Get up and have a life if your own
