My aunt has aids and it's still a big secret
08/04/06 01:47 PM

I hope someone out there can help me or maybe just listen and give me some good advise...my aunt who is my mom's step-sis and i love her like she's my older sis, just found out that she has full blown aids. Only my mom and I know, but was diagnosed w/HIV about 15yrs ago. My mom just told me 2 days ago, that my aunt was not getting treatment, not taking medications and now she is losing her eye sight! My mom thinks we should keep her secret, but I don't know what they are thinking...I know they are old school, but i don't think it's anything to be ashamed of. I know she would hate my mom for telling me or anyone, but I can't not want to help or be there or I don't know...she has a son who's 30 he doesn't know, and she's at the end stages of adopting a lil girl who's not 2yrs old yet. I think about them and wonder why? She's getting sores on her legs and losing her eyesight...what's next? Thanks everyone for letting me vent. I don't know what to do!
