Will you love that friend as usual, unselfishly, or will you avioid that friend diplomatically or will you relocate yourself and cut off all contacts with that friend. OR will you forget yourself and give all your love and help to that friend, in that time of need and consideration. Answer me honestly please.

This is an age old problem.. I wouldnt distance myself from them.. this is when they really need you. If you are truely their friend, there wouldnt be "stipulations". Treat them like you would want them to treat you. Take the necessary precautions, but still be there for them. This is a hard time for them, and need friends. AIDS patients live alot longer than before... dont give up a friendship that means alot to the both of you over sickness!!

I would still remain the same and wont change, but my relation will all depend on what he/she wants. I dont have problem being the same with him/her but maybe he/she dosnt want to know the world now and want isolation. It is not his/her fault and friendships dont end when someone has AIDS. He/she has few months or years to live and i will not want to do what the whole world usually does. And believe me the person would himself/herself be careful to avoid any kind of contact with u that can infect u. This is true for 99/100 cases. Right or wrong i dont know, but i believe it is true from what i see around me

Been there. First I cried a lot. Not just for my friend but for me too...knowing that my friend would not be around for long. (and with proper treatment my friend is still alive 16 years later!) Then I prayed for strength, his health and the ability to get through. We stayed roomates for a while, until he got 'involved' and moved in with his new love. We are still very close friends and if either of us need the other we would be there.

I would do the exact opposite of "when days are dark friends are few". I will remain a friend - do all I can to make him/her count on me during her days of sorrow.
Come to think of it, what is the difference between a friend suffering from HIV/AIDS and the one from diabetes? Both diseases are incurable but we don't have problems with friends suffering from the latter.

Just because someone had aids doesn't mean you should change the way you feel about them. A real friend would be there for that person and not turn thier back.

I will love the friend twicw as much more then before, aids is not transmited through hugging, sharing utensils, not through shaking hands, not through normal contacts, i know that. Frankly speaking , i would really hope that my friend would not avoid me before i can have the chance to talk to her.

Give loving care within the terms of possibilities, but also do some decent research and get professional advice how to protect myself.

my reaction would be sorrow. and then I would stick by my friend and help him to the end. but I would try to protect myself from contracting the disease as well. Talk to a medical professional and find out what you can do to protect yourself while still helping your friend.
