CONTACT the local OFFICE OF THE PROSECUTOR, IMMEDIATELY!
In some jurisdictions, if a victim can legally PROVE they were infected under circumstances of rape or abuse, the perpetrator can be arrested for attempted murder or other felonious crimes, and prosecuted! If found guilty, they can even receive the death penalty or life in prison without parole!

You could also receive counseling assistance through the court system.

If not else, it would give you some PAYBACK, if not some closure.

God Bless You!

For one I would sue their ***..for two,you have a purpose sweetie,you have a lot to live for,try to join a church or a support group.I wish you all the best

Um, unless you were told it by a DOCTOR...chill out.

Get a professional test from a physician. Just because your childhood abuser has it doesn't mean you do.

It is not a death sentence. No disease is. Be a fighter. Take care of your health. Enjoy life to the fullest. Do not become bitter. That would mean this person has gotten the best of you again. Consider seeing a therapist as well. God bless !

dont ever think that you dont have much to live for because you do you're still alive for a reason they'res always a purpose for life, did you tell anyone that you were abused by that person? talking to someone really helps... just know that eventhough you're going through a very hard time right now things will get better just keep your head up if you ever need to talk to someone email me okay sweetie, good luck.

the fact tht u have contracted HIV(r u sure?) doesnt mean ur gonna die...there r certain pills u can take and ur life will be as it was...

Did a doctor tell you this from a blood test? You need a blood test, then report the abuser. They need to go to jail.

People live longer these days. Join a support group, let a close family member know (that you trust), talk with a counselor.

Live everyday like it is your last (HIV+ or -). Have fun, enjoy life. It is not a death sentence.

HIV isn't the automatic death sentence it once was. You can live well with the disease. There are programs available to help you with the meds. There are volunteer groups who can help you with living with the disease. There are peer support groups available, too. It might help you to prosecute the person that abused you. Some might say that is only revenge. I say it is justice. It could help you to resolve your bad feelings about this. Good Luck & Blessings & PRAYERS

I feel absolutely horrible for you. I think you should definitely report this BASTARD to the police and stop him from further spreading his disease.

There is always a reason to live, even if you don't think there is. I think this is what you should do now: get this asshole!

Tell someone, call a counseling hotline for help, your parents, or someone you trust. PLEASE GET HELP!!

That's really rough...you've been given a huge load to carry. Maybe grief counselling would be a good idea. When you're feeling like you don't have anything to live for, sometimes reaching out to help other people can make you feel better. It might take some time for you to feel ready to do that, but it's good to have it as a goal. For now, baby yourself a little and give yourself time to sort things out.

First I would take them to court for the abuse because obviously you have the std from them to prove it happened. And since they gave you an std there could be further charges for them. Also you should talk to someone who's willing to listen to what you have to say. It will make you feel a whole lot better. good luck!

c'mon THINK POSITIVE.. that is just a assumption.. I could also bluff you that my money is gone.. EVEN IF YOU HAVE HIV,SO WHAT? If i have a friend that have HIV,I will still continue to make friends with the person..There is nothing wrong with friendship if you have HIV

Did you actually have an HIV test or are you just hearing this word-of-mouth?

HIV doesn't mean your life is over...it just means the blood bank wont call you for donations.
There's a lot of advances with HIV. There are lots of treatments to keep it from turning into AIDS. People still have sexual relationships with HIV without passing it onto their partners (you just have to be upfront with your partner and take all precautions)

get a blood test to make double sure. don't give up! there is support groups out there. just reach out and they will throw you a line.

Have faith and get into support groups,i'm very sure you'll get a lot of help form there.

... I'm sorry for your pain. Life can be cruel, but you must stay strong. Do you have anyone that you can trust? You need to be able to talk to someone close to you in order to let out your emotions and/ or anger. Life is ... ?

Please don't feel like you have nothing to live for. I'm sure there are many who think you are a strong individual. Not too many of us can share this kind of pain with others.

Talk to someone. Let it out. Be optimistic. Have faith, and I really really do hope, you know, That you, are worth living!

HIV is not longer a certain death sentence. The disease can be put into remission with the right drugs and you can live a long happy life.

Get with your doctor and work up a plan for you. Exercise plays a huge part in getting HIV under control. The stronger the body the better the immune system works and prevents the strain from deteriorating your immune system.

Good luck and our prayers are with you. Now is the time to bring out that inner strength and meet this problem head on.

HIV is not a death sentence. My brother got it from a blood transfusion and has lived with it for thirty years. His biggest fear was his boys had got it or his wife had got it because he didn't know he had it when all that stuff went on. His wife ended up having it but his boys don't. I go hunting, fishing, camping with him and my other brother. The only change it has brought in any of our lives is we don't let him fillet the fish when we catch some. That has nothing to do with his HIV, he's just horse sh*T at it, and we didn't let him before either.

first, how do you know this person gave you hiv ? and can you be sure it was him? second, there are medicines that you take that make the virus virtually disappear. It is not a death sentence any longer and you should get serious about your mental state and your physical state. Stop being so morose because that is doing you harm not good, and get on that cocktail for hiv and get healthy. Eat right and do what the doctors tell you to do. Get with it for god sake. You could outlive most of us. Get that happy attitude back and fight this and you will live a long and healthy life! good luck ok?

I'm confused as to how you would know this. Was there a recent arrest and court case documenting the abuse and then you found out the person had HIV?

first of all don't be discouraged. as for the guy who gave it to you, try to find out what kind of legal action you could take. if it happened a long time ago there might not be nothing you can do. even though you have HIV you can live with this disease now adays. live a healthly life style, take the medications, and follow the doctors orders. fight with all you have, life is worth living. give it all you got. smile, you matter no matter what!!! let that guy know he didn't get the best of you. he will get back ten times what he deserves, if not through the legal system, through god. be strong!! hope i helped.
