You are doing everything you can to help him get the lifesaving information & medical care needed. At some point, it will be up to him to take the reins of his health and psychological wellbeing.

You are a good man @A myHIVteam Member. We all make mistakes. None of this was intentional. You never wished this man any harm.

It's important to remember that individual outcomes can vary based on factors like the timing of diagnosis, the presence of other health conditions, and lifestyle choices. Regular follow-ups with healthcare providers are essential to monitor health and adjust treatments as necessary.
