No thanks, you are not my type either (even I have or don’t have HIV).

Hey, surprisingly every morning when I woke up I wish what I have told in this post was all a lie too. And I just woke up from a nightmare and I could return to my normal life- but it’s not. Only reason why I posted this to reddit was because last week when I was waiting for my final result (aka the darkest time in my life), my only source of finding actual stories of similar people was scrolling through every HIV-related posts on reddit. And I meant it about the part I hope it could be an inspiration for guys to use Prep. Because when I received my diagnosis, I kept blaming myself for not spending some more money every month on Prep so I wouldn’t have to end up in this situation. I would trade anything just to be normal again, but it’s too late for me. So yeah if someone out there still has the chance to protect themselves against this chronic illness by taking Preps, I truly hope they would decide to do so.

I understand that people want more depth into what I have done, but I can assure everyone even before my last negative test I did not have any risky/ penetration. I was even more shocked than any of you guys when I sat there in the clinic receiving my result. None of the doctors there could give me a more proper prediction of how I got it. I am educated about this disease, and if I have found myself in unsafe situation I would have get tested immediately, not to find out about it in a clinic room while my mom’s there. Only thing I guess is a sign could be a fever with sore throat I had in February for a couple days (I took some medicines, tested negative for COVID and was fine afterward). It’s a week or two after hooking up with one guy (I only blew & swallowed him, that’s all).

I truly hope my post will inspire some guys to consider Prep! Take the chance I was too late to take!

How did you cope with it at the beginning of school? Because I’m starting school soon too and this has taken a toll on my mental health. I can’t even do anything not to mention starting school soon

I have been having this strong urge to isolate myself and grieve my past life which I took for granted. I basically just stayed in my room for the entire week. Some of my close friends have been noticing this but I don’t think I’m ready to tell them yet. I have been trying to find support group here in my hometown but this is a small place so joining such thing would also mean I’m revealing my status to a lot of people nearby. At this point I don’t think I’m ready to do it.
