THANK YOU. I HAVE NO CLOSE FRIENDS TO SHARE WITH. MY BEST FRIEND MOVED BACK TO TN AND I JUST DONT HAVE IT IN ME TO INVEST IN ANOTHER PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP. MY DAUGHTER AND HUSBAND KNOW I'M HIV+ BUT MY SON STILL DOES NOT KNOW. I AM IN A HIV/AIDS WOMEN'S GROUP FOR SUPPORT AND WE ARE BECOMING FRIENDS BUT I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE I COULD GO FOR THE BEST FRIENDS THING AGAIN. EVERY TIME IVE BONDED WITH SOMEONE LIKE THAT THEY MOVE AWAY AND LOSE CONTACT EVEN THO I TRY TO MAINTAIN OUR FRIENDSHIP...I SOMETIMES WONDER WHY I BOTHER.
THIS GROUP I THINK IS A PLACE I CAN SHARE WITHOUT EXPOSING MYSELF TO CRITICISM, HOPEFULLY.
NO criticism here! I think the stigma associated with the virus is a shame. You can't get it from being supportive and being a friend. Feel free to friend me or message me if you ever need a friend!
The guy who took my virginity also gave me HPV. Yes, my first time. I found out later, he knew that his ex-girlfriend had it when he slept with me. I didn't even know what it was until I had a pap test and they found vaginal warts which I had to have removed several times over the course of several years. Doesn't make my first time very pleasant to remember.
