When you found out, How did you take the news, who did you tell, how has dating been since. How are you coping overall mentally?
I was diagnosed in 1990 at age of 17. Got through blood transfusion. I was upset. Thought. I haven't been on date or kissed a girl. And I'm a scropio, I AM SUPPOSED TO BE A HOE. LOL
