What Jeann said. I had been unfaithful to my wife; it was years ago, and I hadn't had an HIV test since just before. Yet when my doctor said I was +, I sat down with her immediately and told her. I involved her in whatever she wanted to be involved with (doctor appointments, tests, etc), and followed her comfort level, trying to be respectful of her. The affair was over and done with years ago but this was yet another painful, now permanent, reminder of it. We'd gone through separation and counseling and I didn't want to lose her or our marriage. Thankfully, we're weathering it together. And when she gets uncomfortable about it still, I walk with her on it. Love is patient, love is kind, love is forgiving.

Just to add to this story which i now have no secrets between my relationship. I did have to let him know so that he could have a full understanding in case something ever happened to me. I have allowed him interaction with my healthcare. and so gladi did because i recently had a total thyroidectomy with post op led me to be hospitalized 2 days after release just to be put back in with pneumonia🤗
