I feel guilty giving others hiv

I'm pretty sure my doctor has told me I'm HIV positive, after a blood test. I haven't sought a second opinion yet. I feel bad cause I'm very promiscuous but I never use protection because it makes me itchy. I just needed to confess as I recently found out someone I slept with has been diagnosed with HIV. I'm not sure if it was me. I would feel better about having it if more people had it, so I won't use protection. So I won't be lonely.

    What the fuck. I really hope that this story is fake because if not, YOU HAVE ISSUES BIG TIME.

    What do you mean "pretty sure?" Were you not paying attention?

    Stop what you're doing. You shouldn't just feel guilty - you should be ashamed of yourself. Sure, being told that you're HIV positive must make this a very stressful time for you, but that gives you no excuse to hurt others. Talk to people about how you're feeling. Get support from others. But don't you ever go around passing on HIV just to make yourself feel less "lonely."

    I think this guy is just very, very scared and probably prone to guilt and shame, like a lot of gay people, and having HIV just makes the shame and guilt a whole lot worse. I also think it's obvious that coming here was his attempt to reach out. Purposefully infecting someone with the virus is a terrible thing to do. But it sounds like he is in denial. I don't know if the guy is a masochist or not because most people would expect the kinds of responses that were given here, but the guy just got some very devastating news, so BACK OFF!!! Your criticisms and judgments are not going to help anybody, except maybe alleviate some of your own anxiety. In fact, your hostility is actually, I suspect, part of this person's self-defeating cycle. Yes, what he is doing is not a good thing, but do you think your lashing out at him is going to help? I mean, are you more interested in making this person feel bad or are you more interested in getting him to stop in engaging in such a nihilistic way? So, to the OP: I suggest that you find a therapist that is open and non-judgmental and one that you can trust. Maybe a gay male therapist (maybe who is also HIV positive) and can help you work through issues that you may not even be aware of. I personally have had to deal with shame, guilt, resentment, and self-destructiveness and self-loathing, and I had to see that I was capable of being so much more than what I was taught to believe about myself. The OP is obviously very confused about all this. He needs to feel accepted, he needs to forgive himself for the things that he has done to himself and he needs to feel that there is hope. Only then will he stop behaving this way. And it's not easy! I wish him all the best!

    LISTEN!!! Either U know or don't kno that U have HIV! I'm most positively sure that if U were positive the doctor will definitely tell U, weren't U paying attention?

    you do know that if you are hiv positive the goverment know already so you are like "special case" and believe you can get sued for giving someone else hiv if you did know about it but if your doctor knows the goverment so either ways you dont wanna stop thats ok cause karma's a bitch.

    I can't really blame you. Even though those thoughts make you a sick bastard, it's their fault for accepting unprotected sex.

    Isn't it illegal to do that? I mean not report it and let others know. Technically, you're committing murder. Eventually it could kill them, and it would be your fault, since you did not tell them.

    Don't do that please...but if I'm in your shoes I might think so, but it's saddening and make you feel guilty isn't it?

    Okay, this person up there needs to settle down. I mean i agree with them, but they didn't need to say it like that. You just need to go get checked again, and if you find that you are in fact positive for HIV then you need to find protection that doesn't make you itchy. I am allergic to latex condoms, so i have to use sheep skin condoms. I know it sounds weird, but they work and bring the swelling and itching down. After, you do all of that you should probably go to an HIV support group. I hear they are very helpful and it is also a place you can meet other people with HIV. I hope I helped a little more than.. well.. poisonflowers up there. lol
