New diagnosis scare
I got diagnosed with HIV 2 days back . The diagnosis happened because my ex with whom I broke up 10 months ago was very ill since past few months . I would check up on him and got to know he was diagnosed with advanced HIV last week . I was sad for him but got myself tested too . I’ve been asymptomatic so when I turned out to be positive, it was a shocker . My CD4 came as 410. I’m planning to go to a govt NACO center in the weekend. I’m a 27 yo female IT professional and I’m so scared of the stigma around it . I know I’ve to keep myself healthy but it did increase my fears about being chosen in dating / marriage . I’m trying to accept it and process it. Reassurance and personal stories would really help wrt love and dating. Thanks
