To Think It's Probable My Mum Has HIV

44 replies

Just when I think things can't get any more complicated. Sad

My Mum found out last night that her ex partner of ten years has recently been diagnosed with HIV. She doesn't know how long he's had it at the moment, (although apparently they can give a rough idea) and they have no idea how he could have got it.

She is booked in for a test on Monday. Am I wrong in thinking if she has been with this man for tens year and he is exhibiting symptoms which caused the hospital to test for HIV, she in very unlikely not to have it?

My Mum is very angry and upset and in pieces, as are myself and my sister really.

Bump, do we have results yet Mid? x

Fingers crossed for your mum.

Thanks. I was going to find this thread.

She was tested on Monday and has the results. Negative!!!

Not sure how she managed not to get it, but we are obviously all very relieved.

Was just about to say I know someone in the same situation, a gay man, and he was fine.

So pleased for you.
