If it were you...
A friend of mine came to me and asked me what I would do if I were in this situation.
He asked me, " What if you really liked someone and they really liked you too... This person wants a relationship and you want the same.... But they told you they have Aids... Would you run away?"
This was so sad for me to hear. My response was that I would stay. But then everything that came out my mouth afterward seemed to contradict what I had said seconds before. I would, I wouldn't, only, and if. I would like to think that I would stay, but would I really. I don't know.
He told me that if this was 4 years ago he would have walked away from this whole situation, he wouldn't even think twice. And for some reason he finds it hard to not only walk away but to think about walking away.
After he left my house I couldn't stop thinking about our conversation. What would I do?

Wow, I don't know . . . if I loved the person I would stay. I wouldn't want to get hurt and since Aids doesn't have a cure and can be a long and drawn out illness . . . but life ends in death for all of us anyway. Would I not love someone because I knew they were dying of course not. There is always the risk of spreading, but there are ways to be careful.
I think it would depend on the whole situation, it isn't just black and white . . . but a lot of shades of gray.
So I would have to be in that situation to really know what it is that I would do.
I wish your friend well.
