I was reading on one of my gaming boards an interesting topic, if you came back from the clinic and were diagnosed HIV+, what would you do?

This is obviously NOT a gay thread as anyone can get infected.

My answer was that I would break it to my significant other about it because obviously I cheated to get it, or he did. I would then close out my affairs, work very hard and very quickly to pay back any debt at all. I would consolidate any accounts I have. I would work with my family through it. I would talk to any previous partners to tell them to get tested.

Then I would kill myself, alone, no one watching.

I know it's not a death sentence anymore, but it is a long and painful decline through many courses of dosing and expense I would never want to put anyone I love through. They can get over the pain of me dying when I was ready far more easily than if they were dragged into the long and steady decline.

Anyone else?
 
I'd have to report it to my unit immediately then see where it goes from there. Not sure how much of the treatment Uncle Sam would pay for but I don't think I'd be allowed to off myself or SGLI wouldn't kick in.

The only part that was painful so far for a person my wife knows that went through this was the divorce because of the man who cheated on her.
 
I would divorce Juli and disown Emmett and then rack up major debt traveling with both of them..

What the hell does any of that accomplish for anyone? Majorly confused. Would you be travelling with them? Would you just be buying them tickets to travel themselves? Are you getting a divorce + disowning because you don't want to take care of your family with insurance?

I would divorce them so they don't take on the debt after I'm gone.

And yes I would travel with both. There are many places I really want to see before I die.
 
Umm... Not sure. I don't know enough about HIV to know how I would handle it. Maybe get some excellent medical help and quit work so I can help the world in anyway I can.
 
I wouldn't really like to think about it. I'm pretty sure unless someone came up to me with an infected needle that I would never get it so......

I dunno, it depends really, I'd probably try and live out a happy life until I got really far too ill then I'd get my parents to wheel me over to Switzerland to get the life drained out of me.
 
Immediately, I'd kick Knyte out of my house. Long term, I'd try to live out the rest of my days as best as possible and get things set in order so my kids were taken care of after I was gone.
