How would you react if you found out that a good friend of yours has AIDS?

I have had that Experience. I spent time with them and was their friend until they Died. Such an Horrible Disease requires a tremendous amount of Moral Support, as well as, Help with Dr. appointments, groceries, getting the Medications.... Etc........ I used to Volunteer at the Hospitals and Help these people Die with as much Dignity as possible. Not everyone that gets AIDS is Gay or Lesbian. Many get it from Husbands and Wives that have Strayed.

Wow.
I would give them a huge hug, let them cry on my should.
Then, I would treat them just like i always had. They wouldn't want to be treated like someone fragile. We'd do the same stuff. I wouldn't abandon them. I'd be there even moreso.

I would be a friend to them. Be supportive and make sure that they know I will be there for their needs if I am able to do so.

I would be supprised
Possibley have a go at them but at the end of the day they're still who they were just slightly diseased

This has already happened to me. She told me over the phone so I couldnt give her a hug and tell her I am here. I have seen her quite a few times after that, its been 2 years now and she hasnt got sick, she is doing some therapy.
I was very sad when I found out because her husband gave it to her and she was at the beginning of her pregnancy when she found out. I am afraid for her and sad and angry that this has happened.

I'd tell them they still are my friend. I wouldn't mention or ask how h or she got the disease. But I'd also visit and call and do all things you can to support them. Your friend is going through a scary time and some people will judge her or him or her. Just being there to talk to is the greatest gift you can give.

I would be very saddend and since I do not know much about how to protect myself from catching aids from someone else...I would be scared but try very very hard not to be...in the meantime I would do all the searching and asking all the questions I feel I need to know to protect myself and to help keep my self prepared for when the time comes...But the main thin is...I would always be there as a friend and love them as I did before I knew they had aids....

I would take them shopping and out to eat. I would not treat them different but I would show them a high level of support and try to be understanding. I would also help them in anyway that I could. My friends would do the same for me.

try and help them through their problem as they will need a lot of support from friends and family
