I have just recently found that I'm positive I have no idea how to tackle this. But I know through ur guys encouragement I will pull through this. If my guessing correctly I have been infected for atleast six months I found out when o wantes to take life insurance. But I was strong enough to accept my results and walk out of those offices smiling. I hv a boyfriend his negative he loves me but is so scared of me he thinks that having intercourse with me he will get infected. I need a strategy on how we break the ice. I disclosed to him and he told me how much he loved but the problem is he wants a family a normal life if I may put it. How do I give him that how do we take the first step to this journey. In South Africa HIV is an issue that people don't open up too. Which makes it very difficult for people like us to cope.

I love ur blog

Welcome Angela. SO glad you are here.

Mumbaiyyagal,
I am very proud of you for coming clean about your status and not lieing any longer. That was very brave of you. I think sometimes we do things not to be mean but because we are so afraid of the rejection or the pain of being alone. I am very thankful your boyfriend/ ex-boyfriend turned out to be negative.
It must be hard having all of those horrible feelings of guilt, pain and suffering as you talked about but it will be ok. You have to forgive yourself. It will eat you up inside if you don't let them go. Look to the future and continue to count all of those blessings you have. You ARE good and caring or you wouldn't have came out with the truth. We all make mistakes in life. None of us are perfect.
I have forgiven the guy that lied and infected me. In fact, I'm not sure I ever truely got really really mad as people think I should. Yes it does upset me that he did that to me but I do hope and pray that he made peace with God and is in heaven and not suffering. I cannot imagine what my life would be like if I carried around hate for him.
You are doing such a good thing by telling your story and letting people know that it is ok to be honest and reveal your status. I am thankful for your story.

Hi Angela,
Nice that you came out in the open and told us the story. And by the responses you are getting, you know that you are never alone. Internet has made world a small place to live in and thru this medium ur cry for help/support/love can be reached to millions in few minutes of time.
Even I had lied to my boyfriend that I had cancer. And that lie was pulling me down. I dont know how to tell him as I was not strong enough to tell anyone regarding my status that time. The ignorance of this INDIA is such that one is treated as "untouchable" there and thus so as not to lose him (as I loved him too much), I had used this lie to keep him, without realising that I was playing with his life, his future, his family. Thankfully, he is tested negative but I am still living with this guilt. He has now become my strong support system and I was so ashamed of my lie that I decided that I will go public and tell people my story, educate them, help them in opening out their status to those who mattered and more importantly, LIVE WITH REJECTION without having to lose your pride. I am living with the rejection of not having my boyfriend marrying me and calling the relationship off, but am happy that he didnt cut off all ties with me and we have become close friend and he is my best support system. Overall, am living with guilt, pains, sufferings but am thankful for small things. So count your blessings one by one......
