FROM CANCER TO HIV TO ME

One of my good friends who considers me her (she is actually a he) best friend moved to Dallas with her boyfriend to get away from their peer pressure and easilly tempting surroundings. Unfortunately, they broke up a couple days ago after nearly two years (my friend has many forms of cancer) and as she walked away from her he told her he hoped she would die quickly. That was him just being plan hateful.

I have told her repeatidly to ignore him and be angry with him for everything. She has given up a lot for this man (which should of been her red lights) and stood by him and made him care for life more so then he did.

Today I received a call from my friend and she said she found out he was HIV positive all this time and he had not told her anything. She told him how she'd asked him more than once and he'd responded that he was negative and he claimed that never happened. This is the same guy who found out a mutual friend of ours was possibly positive and said he wanted his toothbrush out of the restroom to avoid the mutual friend from using his toothbrush and getting him infected. WTF?

Its a crazy world we live in and things can get worse and crazier if you do not look out for yourself. You can help others and so on but its so very important to never put yourself in any kind of jeopardy especially if you know something is wrong.

All I can do is remain a positive attitude towards my friend and hope for the best. She has had a lot more wrong with her lately with the different cancers ravaging her body. I know some day she might not be here ever and that really upsets me. I've known her since I came out practically. Even though she has put me in a lot of bad situations and screwed me over a couple times I'm still a human being who has a huge heart. All we can do is pray and see. Sorry for the morbid entry but enjoy and cherish every day that you have with the people around you who matter and your own life.
