Hey. THANK YOU so much for writing about this. I have been thinking a lot about this topic. I was diagnossed one year ago. And I think I am in the wall-phase. I protect my self and people who I have sex with so there is no any risk -I use condom even for oral. But of course, I have not had any long relationship. So, I always say it would be better to disclouse before sex, because I am afraid it happens to me what happened to you. And I don't want to be in that stressful situation (I don't live in the States by the way, so there are not disclosure laws here). But I think there is such a bad or poor sexual education and my biggest fear is to be rejected. I think I have to work on it. And it is proccess. But reading your post made me feel it is possible to find someone who love me no matter HIV. Anyway I know different things happen to people. But after reading this I feel hope. Again, Thank you, Aundaray.
It was a pleasure reading your blog. This is a situation that bears a lot of emotional turmoil and one I'm so very greatfull to have learned an emotionally effective way of maneuvering through with minimal emotional consequences. I try to the best of my ability not to make myself a prisoner of my own and that's what that struggle, based on FEAR, creates. I am so grateful of how wrong I was with my perception of this disease over 20 years ago, thinking it was a death sentence. Now that I know it has caused me to take better care of myself and as a result live a healthy and productive life and support others through their journey of recovering who live with the same thing. I don't have a problem disclosing who I am and all that I live with. If you love me for all of me then I know it's true love. If you don't then I pray for you because I now realize that it's your loss. So I embrace all of me and love all of me today.. I know God Does, so why shouldn't I
Congratulations. Honesty and carin pays. Keep it up.
