I once talked to a friend of mine and he was telling me of stuffs that I knew nothing about for a long time. This is a person that I have been with for about five years and yet I could not discover these things about him. Though at first I was a bit disappointed with him for keeping such things a way from me for such a long time and yet he calls me his friend and on a second thought I told myself that he must trusted me to tell me these problem of his. From this point of view I learnt that I am the only person that knows that he was Human immunodeficiency virus positive for over three years and no body even knew. You can imagine if you were in my shoes how will you feel. At this point I felt sorry for him

From the point he told me in his tears that he was Human immunodeficiency virus positive, many things ran through my mind. I could not believe what I was hearing. For god sake I have been eating and sleeping with this person for some years now and we never hid anything from each other. When enquiring why he kept it away from me so long, he said that, he did not want to lose my friendship. He was afraid that if I found out I will run away from him; forgetting that friends last to the end.

 As of now I am still with him and I am taking good care of him. One good thing happening now is that he seems to be getting better. As of the time he told be his state, he was dyeing as a result of the psychological breakdown. I came to understand that, many people with acquired immune deficiency syndrome die not just because of the infection, but because of communal rejection and psychological breakdown.

My friend is still up and doing now and going about his daily lives normally like nothing is wrong with him. If you ask me I will say nothing is wrong with just that his state has no cure yet but if it has that his infecting will be like every other sickness that can be treated then it will not be something too special.
