Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) interferes with your body’s ability to fight the organisms that cause disease. It is also a sexually transmitted infection and it can also be transmitted by contact with infected blood or from a mother to a child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding.
People with HIV were keeping their identity for they know that they will be discriminated by other people. But some are trying to accept these people, especially if one of these people is their loved ones.
A Twitter user JRise shared history on a Twitter thread about his partner who had been diagnosed with HIV+. He titled his post as “My BF is HIV+”
He felt his world had fallen apart the moment his boyfriend told him that he had an HIV+ status. What he wanted to do was to break up with him, without even thinking of his decision.
My Bf is HIV+
(A Thread)Last Friday, I found out that my Boyfriend is HIV+. What first came out of my mind is to broke up with him. He was at the clinic when he told me that the result was reactive. I was at the office that time and i felt like my whole world crash.

Later on, he realized that he became so selfish of his decision and he was only thinking of his dreams. But then, questions popped on his mind putting himself in his boyfriend’s situation. “What if I’m also positive?” “What if I also had the virus running on my veins?” “What if I die?”
All my dreams became shattered. I felt so hopeless and helpless. I have to say that on that very moment I became so selfish. I wasn't thinking about him. I was thinking about me, purely. What if Im also positive? What if I also had that virus running on my veins? What if I die?

With all the questions on his mind, he told him that they needed to talk at home, so he took an undertime from his job. When he arrived, his boyfriend was crying in his room that he didn’t know how to start their conversation.
So I told him that we had to talk seriously. I told him to went home right away and we have to talk about this matter. I had to undertime. When I arrived on their house I caught him crying on his room. His tears pouring out heavily. I dont know how to open up the conversation.

He suddenly sat beside him and all he can do was to stare at him, thinking about what had happened. Realizations came in that JRise cry made him ask “Why?” but he didn’t receive any answers from him.
I sat down beside him staring at him contemplating about all what happen. And then i realized, I also started to cry. Why?! That's the only word I can afford to say that time. He can't answer. He can't even look at me. After some time, I managed to engulfed the courage.

A series of questions came in, doubting the faithfulness of their relationship and even concluded that he was cheating him but still he didn’t get any answer from him and he even cried so hard.
I asked him where did he get it. Because honestly, I can say that he cheated on me. We are going to celebrate our anniversary, we've been together for almost a year. How did he get it? Why did he cheated? He can't still answer me. He was crying hardly.

JRise finally decided to break up with him but he was begging him to stay and hugged him tightly. Then suddenly, reality had hit him with questions like “what if I am also positive? Who will be there for me?”
I told him that I am going to break up with him. He was crying even more. He was begging me to stay. He hugged me tightly because that moment I was so sure to let him go. And then reality whacked me, what if I am also positive? Who will be there for me?

These questions made him so worried because he was still hiding his sexual identity to his family and so with being on the risk of having HIV. But before his partner decided to be tested, he remembered what he had told him through a text message “No matter what the result is, I am always here for you” and these are the moments that he needed him the most.
It's so hard for me in this is situation because I am still hiding on my closet. My family is so blind. They dont know about my sexuality nor they will know that i am on risk now of having an HIV. And then I realized what i told him before he had tested.

"No matter what the result is, I am always be here for you" that is what i texted him before he had tested. I realized that these are the moments he needs me most. Fast forward to present, I think the virus hit him badly. He is now so vulnerable. He had COPD, on and off fever,

His boyfriend was very sick and suffered from Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), having on and off fever, diarrhea, vomiting the food he takes and have problems with his liver. This only means that he really needs to be taken cared of.
diarrhea, he always vomits every food he take and had a problem on his liver. For short, he needs my care deeply. I can't take to see him in pain. But sometimes, I'd like to slap him the naked truth of not being faithful. I'd like to say "gaba" but i can't utter it because i

There were times that he gets furious because of being unfaithful but love still wins which made him decide to stay with him. He had been assisting him and took the responsibility of taking care of him.
love him so much. Well, i am still staying. I still wipe his body when he had night sweats, I still have to clean the mess he made after gagging. I still prepare all the med he have to take. And every run arounds just to take care of him.
— JRise (@JRise11) May 5, 2019
Taking care of him was not easy because he needed to be positive, despite the fact that his mind was already giving up. He loves him so much as he wanted him to live longer with him, wishing that there will be a sanitarium to treat HIV patients.
I also need to be positive for him despite the fact that my mind already giving up. I am depriving what's for my self because i have to fill in the mistakes he did. I am wishing that Sanitarium's treatment for HIV will start the soonest they can because i want to live longer

JRise encouraged him to fight for his life by making future plans together. He had witnessed the pain that his boyfriend felt of having HIV but it hurts him even more just by hearing the cry of his partner while they were sleeping.
with him. We've been building many plans together in the future because i want to encourage him to fight for his life. There are times i hear him crying when we're sleeping and it kills me more. That's why i am lifting him up every minute of every day.

With their young age, he had learned how to appreciate life and, most importantly, learning what he emphasized – “fidelity, loyalty, and faithfulness.”
There are lot of things i learned, life is too short. I am just 23 and his 24, we're too young not to enjoy life. I would like also to give emphasis of the word fidelity, loyalty and faithfulness. Surely you'll be rewarded on everything you did. You'll reap on what you sow.

For him, love can never be measured unless you get tested by fate as he pleads to everyone to be faithful to their partners.
And also, you can never measure your love to your partner unless you get tested by fate. As what Chris Medina said on his song, "What are words if you really don't mean it when you say them" (im not sure if this lyrics is right) I am asking everyone to please be faithful to your
