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..

By the way she said he has Aids not HIV everyone is talking about HIV but there is a difference between HIV and full blown Aids

@ExperienceDLT There is indeed. Progressing to, in effect, 'end stage' HIV+ has - sadly - a life expectancy of around 3 years.

Having those years with some quality is the what she's trying to instil into this individual.

I wish you the best..

@MarkRichardson usually hiv progresses to aids because the person went without proper treatment that is likely what happened 😕

@ExperienceDLT In this case, very much mote than likely, sadly, but in general, just like cancers (which are part of the AIDS spectrum), there are stages and, consequently, end stages.
