IMO it's almost selfish to put your family through this cuz you wanted a hot rump with that guy from the bar or turned to intrevenous drugs. i'm not judging these people and certainly feel sorry for them, but someone who contracts aids because of making a bad choice are one hair away from deserving and "i told you so".
I'm not disagreeing with you marleisalegend, but I'd like to know what a youngn' such as your self does to protect against contracting HIV?
