#1Bad News Today
Posted: 12/8/08 at 9:31pm

As many of you know, I haven't had the most blockbuster year. And today it just got worse.

I was diagnosed with HIV.

I write this, not to get attention, but to ask if any positive people on this board wouldn't mind, please send me a PM. I really would love to talk to someone who has been through what I've been through. Also, I want to urge everyone, who assumed they weren't at risk, as I did, don't wait to get tested. I had ignored several symptoms for a while now. And while I'm more hopeful than I thought I would be, when I thought about the possibility of this ever happening, I regret the times I trused a partner's word or acted in the moment for pleasures sake.

I was everyone to live their lives to the fullest. ANd know that the choices we make have consequences, no matter ho much we convince ourselves, as I did, that we're invincible.

I really care about everyone, disagreements or not, on this board and wish everyone a long and happy life.

Best,

Bobby

I know you'll get the support you need.

So I'm going to have to make fun of him now.'" -Sarah Vowell, The Partly-Cloudy Patriot
