A netizen shared how he contracted HIV and now his love life is ruined, and that every time he misses a dose of his medication it feels like a death sentence.
Here is his story:
“So yeah I got HIV & my love life is pretty much ruined now.
It soon makes a year since I found out and I just want to encourage people to wear protection, clearly, I didn’t but every time I date someone, I push myself away because I doubt anybody would stay with me with what I have and it hurts me a lot.
I’m HIV undetectable which means I’m good & my partners are not at risk of getting infected but just the thought of me having it kills me inside.
I’m 23 and nobody really knows and I dont know how they would react if they did.
It just sucks cuz I just don’t go around sleeping with just anybody but this 1 person (my ex-girlfriend), and she really ruined my life forever.
Now I got to rely on medications to keep my HIV undetectable and every time I miss a dose I be feeling like I get a death sentence.
Idk I just hope one day someone accepts me for who I am and what I have cuz I’m really going through a lot right now.”
Editor’s note: Maybe you could find a support group and meet others like yourself, it would be cathartic to share your feelings with people in the same situation.
