"I have one member of my family who will not talk to me."


I found out I had HIV four years ago. My family didn't know I was gay. I have to admit that I did sleep around and didn't always use condoms. Now that I have HIV I regret it. I hate myself so much for having it. I sometimes wish I wasn't born gay.

The reaction I get from some people about people who have HIV here in Scotland is they deserved getting HIV because of gay lifestyle. I have one member of my family who will not talk to me or have any contact with me since I told them I was HIV positive.
