I looked at our hands, caked and coated in red, but entwined. The pristine moment when they were clasped like that earlier in the day seemed weeks ago. "Clean." Peter said. "Can I get a water bottle or something to clean his hands?" I scanned the crowd. He drew my attention back to him with a pull of my hand. "No," Peter said. "I'm...clean." I had missed who Peter was until that very moment. I had called him names and treated him callously. I had read every micro expression in a vacuum of how it related to Austin Glass. And in return Peter had cared for my wounds, treated me tenderly and assured me that he was HIV negative while bleeding out in a hallway of strangers. I broke. It wasn't a visible fracture. I didn't sob or explode into anguish. I didn't give in to my vomitus urge that came from the burst of self-loathing. But I shattered nonetheless.

AIDS would have claimed fewer lives if we had publicly recommended what I wish to call ‘The Presumption of Sickness,’ i.e., the principle that whomever we are about to sleep with is HIV-positive until proven HIV-negative.

Being HIV positive doesn’t necessarily mean that you are going to die before each and every person who is HIV negative.

Some men would not still be HIV negative or alive, if they had managed to sleep with some of the women with whom they want or wanted to have sex.

Some people have contracted HIV during their separate endeavours to give someone or some people a curable STD.

To understand my doctor’s error, let’s employ Bayes’s method. The first step is to define the sample space. We could include everyone who has ever taken an HIV test, but we’ll get a more accurate result if we employ a bit of additional relevant information about me and consider only heterosexual non-IV-drug-abusing white male Americans who have taken the test. (We’ll see later what kind of difference this makes.) Now that we know whom to include in the sample space, let’s classify the members of the space. Instead of boy and girl, here the relevant classes are those who tested positive and are HIV-positive (true positives), those who tested positive but are not positive (false positives), those who tested negative and are HIV-negative (true negatives), and those who tested negative but are HIV-positive (false negatives). Finally, we ask, how many people are there in each of these classes? Suppose we consider an initial population of 10,000. We can estimate, employing statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, that in 1989 about 1 in those 10,000 heterosexual non-IV-drug-abusing white male Americans who got tested were infected with HIV.6 Assuming that the false-negative rate is near 0, that means that about 1 person out of every 10,000 will test positive due to the presence of the infection. In addition, since the rate of false positives is, as my doctor had quoted, 1 in 1,000, there will be about 10 others who are not infected with HIV but will test positive anyway. The other 9,989 of the 10,000 men in the sample space will test negative. Now let’s prune the sample space to include only those who tested positive. We end up with 10 people who are false positives and 1 true positive. In other words, only 1 in 11 people who test positive are really infected with HIV.
Leonard Mlodinow (The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives)
Not everyone who has killed themselves because they were HIV positive would have been killed by AIDS.

Today, the contraceptive sheath is used for seduction. `He seeks to seduce her, she resists, he brings out his condom, she falls into his arms.' She would, in the past, have been seduced by the erection; now, she is seduced by the protection. A step further, and being HIV positive [séropositif] will be seductive in itself (`This product can damage your health' serves almost as an advertising slogan). We have seen on our walls and our buses: `I'm HIV positive -- will you come to the dining hall with me? (say yes!)'; `Im a mongol -- will you come and play with me?`; Sero is beautiful. The direst thing becomes an advertising statement. A new moral order, a new conviviality based on this marvellous legitimacy of difference, even when it is the difference of the negative and the lack of living.
Jean Baudrillard (The Perfect Crime)
The lesson to be learned is that your affections and emotional capital are valuable resources.  Be strong, be discerning, and do not give this gift to anyone who does not deserve it. What are the Dangers and the Long-Term Outcomes of Associating Closely with Psychopaths, Sociopaths, and Narcissists? When you associate in the long term with disordered individuals, the outcome is almost always disillusioning, negative, or tragic. There are very few exceptions. This is due to three reasons: 1. A psychopath’s aptitude for moral depravity is a bad influence for anyone wishing to live a peaceful and conscientious life. The old proverb rings true: you become like those you associate with – for the good and the bad. 2. Psychopaths like to exploit and cheat the people closest to them. The frequent pattern of those closest to them getting hurt or being driven to ruin is often observable by outsiders. 3. They can even harm and hurt you unintentionally, because none of their actions or decisions take others’ welfare into account.  For example: The majority of HIV patients who regularly have

Today negative has become the new positive.

HIV is not a stigma, impact is not meant to be negative.
Petra Hermans
