Neg Partner in full Blown AIDS
      #3611 - 04/19/00 02:39 PM

My partner and I have been together for nearly twelve years, and we have known for the last ten years that he was HIV-Postive. Now he is considered FULL BLOWN AIDS, I still can't wrap my mind around that, yet. We have been discussing telling our church about his status, I'm the activist of the family, but he's getting there.... ;-) I have told a few close friends at school(college), as I am also a Nursing student, some people asked how I am and how I was uninfected by this, I just think that God has a greater plan for me and us as a couple, but right now I just don't see it.
He just got out of the hospital last month after being in for five days after a gal bladder attack, has had several testosterone shots and is getting better, his T-Cells doubled (to 114), but there have been times when I catch myself and I get so frustrated with him. Being in school and working, since he is not anymore, it's a lot of stress and when I come home from work and find the house a mess, I would get so mad at him, and I just had to learn to let that go, it was hard, but I have had wonderful experiences with friends who have been there. Family on the other hand has not been there, maybe someday, that too is scary..... I think my biggest fear is my Mother becoming a bigger activist than I am ;-)
I am also a writer/poet and have been writing so intensely lately, my emotionms have been pouring over the paper, and a few of them have been rather hard to read, even for me, but it's great therapy. If anyone wants to talk, feel free to e-mail me @ Tricepmuscle2000@Hotmail.com
Love and Light to you all, love is the strongest bond, love your partner/friend/brother/sister/son/daughter(whoever it is) in your life who is HIV positive and if it is yourself, love yourself even more, give yourself an extra hug in the morning.
Chuck

Hi. Even though I have been out for ten years I have alwasys managed to keep myself from feeling anything with respect to HIV. Anyone I knew with HIV or AIDS was an aquaintence or someone I knew of indirectly, until now. I recently met someone with whom I bonded instantly. About a week ago he told he was positive and has been for about ten years. I was crushed but I never let him see it. My personality forces me to save those who I can but this time I can't and it s very frustrating. We are gonna have sex one of these days but before I do, I want to know what I can and cannot, should and should not do. I find myself breaking down the past few days when I think about him and the eventual out come. I know I should be happy for what ever time I have with him but, It is very hard to come to terms with. Any advice for a guy handling his first encounter with HIV? Best regards,
Louie My regular e;mail is: islandguy31@aol.com
