We talk about HIV/AIDS so freely that it never occurs to us what we might do when we are with an AIDS patient. I am a social worker myself and work with small kids. Many of them are infected with this disease. All they have to say is ,”Didi hamse koi baat nahi karta”(Nobody talks to us). I feel bad but at the same time helpless. I read this story on net and am sharing the same with all of you here...

My first year in college! That’s were I met the person that would change my life! I’m 20 years old (not yet tested for HIV) Yet, I have had unprotected sex many times. My boyfriend is 22 and is HIV positive. He was introduced to the HIV virus through a blood transfusion at age 7. My boyfriend and I do not have sexual relationships at all. I was aware of his disease before we became boyfriend/girlfriend. You might ask yourself, “why has her life changed if she doesn’t even have HIV?” Well, he changed my life in a significant way. I’m not afraid of hugging him, kissing him, or even touching his blood when he has cut him self accidentally. I’m aware of HIV prevention. Yet, I can only tell you how much I look forward to being with him every single day. I always thank god for blessing me with such a great man. I run with a different crowed;I’m a Christian and soon plan to marry that same man I met in college. We both love each other;but, there’s always questions about future plans. I’m going to be honest, I’m afraid of carrying the HIV virus. I do understand I am too young to be getting married, but I’m not willing to miss the opportunity of being without him despite what the future holds for us.

I felt good after reading this story...Lets really hope that we do not act like a million others who discriminate AIDS patients..
