With everything we knew and some things we didn't, did you ever think that this virus would affect you and or your family?
@A myHIVteam Member. I think we all did. It's one thing to know something, and another to feel it emotionally. I knew everything about HIV that was known at the time, but still didn't change my behavior. Late night, high, and with a stranger is not the time to engage in rational behavior. Funny thing, though, testing HIV+ changed my behavior overnight. I was willing to risk my own health, but not the health of anyone else.
I didn’t plan on getting HIV but I had the feeling that I would, due to my level of sexual activity. Basically I carried on like I always did previously to it’s emergence
I knew it was a big possibility, being homosexual promiscuous on drugs. It was always a known danger.
Never in a million years did I think I would get HIV. It's a hard one to wrap around my head. 10 years now. Just blows me away.
I except it and deal with it!
