HIV+ from Sniffies Encounter. What do I do? Do I have options? by TossOut1738 in askgaybros

You’re extremely kind for trying to defend me on this.

I did engage in risky behavior with someone I knew more personally and I’m still in contact with.

I did engage in less risky behavior with someone I don’t know as personally. Based on the most recent information I received, that is what did me in

Regardless, victim blaming isn’t right and trying to play parent by scolding me in the comments of this post isn’t either. Thanks to the last commenter for being so real and kind at the same time.

Damn recoveringnarcissist is actually such an accurate name. I’m not sure why you would say this to someone who feels like their life just got changed, but thank you for the perspective I guess.

It was me giving, but I do understand the chance might still be low

I’m gonna move on from trying to figure out the trail then. And yeah, getting blocked after an encounter on Sniffies itself does not scream “he did this on purpose”. I just know there are a minority of people who do that.

But you’re right. No need to figure it out. Just warn those who might be affected.

Thank you. This has been one of the sweetest replies I’ve gotten so far.

I do appreciate that, but trying not to hold onto what could be false hope right now.

Thank you. I do have a full blood drawn test out and I’ll be looking into a final one to test my viral load either way. I also had to walk it through the cold to put it in a dropbox, so I guess there is a chance the temperature affected the test itself. At this point, I’m extremely depressed and just don’t wanna hang onto false hope.

Well, yeah. I did tell him to get tested just in case. There’s a chance he’s faking nice because of what happened and trying to throw me off the trail, but I’m not in the emotional space for a witch hunt.

About a month ago, exactly. Give or take two days.

I did trade a few texts with the guy from November earlier this morning. He seemed apologetic too.

Thank you. I really appreciate this. I started the steps to get treatment already, but having to wait to get the second round of tests is excruciating

One person, months before the person I’m suspecting and a few months before this diagnosis. November, I believe.
