My partner of 10 years tested positive last week. He has just
returned home from a business trip and has a fever tonight of
102. He hasn't started meds yet, as our first Dr's appt. isn't
until next Friday. I worry that perhaps this disease may somehow
be advanced? Because I am just learning about all of this, I'm
really scared. I was tested last week and hope to find out this
week about me. In a way I hope I am positive, which sounds odd.
Anyone have thoughts to share with me, I'd love to hear from you.
Peace -

Hi Lewis, When I heard I was positive I was at first shocked and
felt the blood leaving my head. I sat down. The next feeling that
I remember was one of relief. Like I could finally stop worrying
about getting "it" because now I had "it". Also I felt I had
joined the brotherhood of my dead and sick friends. It seemed odd
and illogical to me. I was embarrased but I confided these
feelings to an HIV counselor who assured me I wasn't the first to
feel this way. I hope there is an HIV agency in your area and
urge you to seek them out. They helped me immeasurably. Bob

Hey Lewis...............
Im sorry to hear about you and your lover! I was in your shoes about 4 years ago and
remember it as if it were yesterday! I hope that things went well with your test and your
partner will start on meds soon! I dont but I do understand why it would be ok for you to
be positive. Just hang in there and God's Peace!
