Several of my uncles and aunts have died in the past year from HIV/AIDS. 9 to be exact. They were all homosexual, and all freely messed around with tons of people as children. Sexual education wasn't nearly as good as it is now. And to think, we still have kinks to work out...

I wish HIV/AIDS never existed.

My cousin died of AIDS. She was 12, but she looked like she was 6 or 7 because of the disease. She was just a little girl who suffered all her life because her father was a drug addict and transmitted HIV/AIDS to her mother.

I've never known anyone with HIV/AIDS. I did get tested once though as part of a regular overall STD screening.

Strange. I was just tested today! At my local GYN, they were supposed to be offering the HIV test and I recently mentioned this on another post here, but they were supposed to offer it and never did for years and years until they recently cleaned house with staff and had new nurses. I'm happy with my new dr! She said I was such a low risk with the HIV questionarre that she normally would not test me, but I'm a paranoid freak and needed to be 100%. I told her that the nurses would not test for it in the past and when patients would ask about it, they would say they tested, but never did! That's what I brought up on another post about hIV the other day. Many, many ladies think they're being tested for HIV when they're actually only being tested for the syphillis and std's! Anyways, I told her that nobody my age had ever been tested that I knew of, even since HS. She said they were changing things big time in our area on that. So I asked if anyone has came back positive yet in my area and she said no! That was so great to hear. I was glad to hear that she's going to do her job and make sure that everyone knows the test is available. That's awesome!

Anyways, so that leads me to answer your question. Sorry, I really get talkative. Lol. Nope, as far as I know, I haven't ever known anyone with it.

I've been tested as a matter of routine, but never had a scare. I had a relative who died of AIDS before I was born, but I've never directly known anyone who had HIV/AIDS, at least to my knowledge.

I have never been told by anyone that I know that they were HIV positive. I actually was one of the first patients to get the HIV test as I had been given several blood transfusions and an organ transplant prior to their being protocols for such things. I have been tested a couple of times since then after scares, and hope there are no more of those in the future.

One of my closest friends from middle school is HIV+ and is a counselor for others who are as well. I lost a second cousin to it a few years ago. I once knew a girl who was positive, her boyfriend was negative, yet they chose to have unprotected sex.

I've never been tested. The aforementioned middle school friend wanted me to go get tested with him when we were just out of high school, but as I was a virgin, I refused. I didn't want to put myself through the mental anguish that I knew would be there, even though I had zero risk.

Several years back, I worked in a hospital lab. We had several HIV positive patients over the years I worked there. I always treated them the same as I did our other patients. I got especially close to one patient...he was a veteran, and got HIV from his wife, who was an IV drug user.

One of my mother's best friends from college has aids. We go over to his house every friday just about to have shabbat dinner. He doesn't come out of the bedroom anymore and he has trouble eating a lot of foods. But he has lived QUITE a bit longer than anyone expected!
