WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU GOT TESTED FOR AIDS AND THE RESULTS CAME BACK POSITIVE?
I've heard many people say it time and time again that if they got tested +, they would spread the disease to as many people they can during the remainder of their life. Would you do that? Would you come clean to the general public and join groups that are trying to educate people on the disease? Would you just keep quiet about it and continue living your life? How would u tell your family and friends IF u decide to tell them? WHAT WOULD U DO?

That is a very good and hard question. I think I would want to keep it quiet, but still help out other people in that situation. I feel that is a hard thing to live with. It changes your life dramatically, that is why it is so important to make the right choices now. People who spread the disease, very sad case. That is why we have to be careful. Know your partners!

I feel ya all the same Brownsugar, personally I WOULD want to educate others on the epidemic but I can honestly say that I would not want others to know of my situation. We know how people discriminate against people with any kind of disease and life would surely be made miserable by the public. I can also say that I wouldn’t want to spread the disease knowingly because when the circle takes a turn and comes back at the start, some of my close friends and family members may be embedded in that circle and will be infected too. It's a life changing decision that i hope i am never faced with.

If I was to get AIDS, I wouldn't kill myself. I'd probably try to adjust to my life with the virus and take care of myself and definitely help others. If I was to get AIDS from a boyfriend that I was super close to, I'd probably stay with him since we both got it, but I WOULD never allow some guy to give it to me, because I think I love him. That goes for anything, if I was to date a guy that had some permenent STD, we would always wear condoms or I'd have sex with someone else j/k! But if the guy the guy intentionally gave it to me or put me at risk because of his infidelities, I'd f**k his world up on the real I'm sorry, but I could not take that like a wimp. That calls for Justified Payback

You know what this really is a hard question because when you take that test you really don't think about what will happen next. What will be running through your mind is counting the number of guys you done been with and wishing that it is negative. It really is the craziest shit that has ever happened to me and I will never want to go through that shit again. Ladies, we just have to protect our bodies. A personal experience: I started talking to this one guy who was men so fine and had a good job. Husband material was what I thought of him the minute I landed my eyes on his physique. Anyway, we were dating for less than a month and things were heating up between the two of us. I knew that it was getting close to that time when he would want some but I insisted that I will wait for him to bring that up. Well, he did on a very fine Wednesday the evening after I had slept a night over in which nothing had happened. He had wanted to, but I fought him and took the couch that night. To cut a long story short, that evening we spoke and I told him that I would like for him to take an AIDS test. He asked me the question twice as if he didn't hear what I had said. I explained to him why I took one and that I wanted to be careful. I assured him that I trust him, knowing deep down I didn't because I had no reference on this guy and a lot of other reasons. Well, it ended there after I gave him a piece of my mind. So ladies regardless of the pressure be strong and hold your position. We are in total control of what goes in and out of our bodies. Best realize

So what you would you do? Its a hypothetical question. You aren't going to be considered guilty. AIDS is real and apart of Life. We should be able to openly discuss this disease like anything else. Its called Preventive Therapy. But I understand where you are coming from. After I had tested negative, I am making sure to stay negative. AIDS is a real thing and it really messes up sex for me. One day I would love to stop using condoms, but I'm not suicidal. I think that the best condom is Kimono, it provides a optimal level of sensation. I hate Rough Riders, I don't feel anything with those. Condoms can be cool, because they make sex less messy; easy cleanup

I like that you all are finally answering this question. Just remember, what ever route you would take, the moral behind the story is to be safe, get tested and go that extra mile to remain clean.

Oh yeah, i forgot this one little piece of advice, there's no safe way to say that "You know your partner". You don't know who he's been with or who his other partners been with, tey can tell you anything. The best thing to do is have them get tested. Thats the smartest and safest way. Even so, we all know how men can be at times. "They think with their second head" a moment of pleasure leading to a lifetime of pain. Even though you maybe their only partner now, you'll probably never know If and when he ends up cheating on you and if he uses protection when he does so the safest thing for us to do is ALWAYS use protection.
