Losing hope as a infected gay.

Hello everyone. My friend has been a gay for the last 6years and the sad part is his ex who is also a gay infected him with Aids and he has been takinh RVs for the last 6years. Life hasnt been so easy for him since everyone is avoiding him and there has been times when he wants to commit suicide because he thinks his life has ended. And people always talk bad about him. I told him to move in with us and i cant tell my family that his infected. Sometimes he doesnt what yo eat food. Any advice on how to change his life so that he can know that he can live for long and he how to tell him not to miss taking his drugs. And why do people hate infected peoole..

It's that whole 'Don't Die Of Ignorance' stance, and advert, that we all had in the 80's, certainly in the UK. Sadly, people still see it through those eyes whereas people can indeed live a very long, and healthy, life. They can have children and have good relationships too.

In some ways, the media haven't promoted this, but I have noticed - again in the UK at the very least - that TV programmes, soap operas and such, have tackled this issue a number of times. More power to their elbow!

Just care for him, support him and try to integrate him into everyday life and show that he has some worth.
