I've got a confession to make.
I've been lying to not only myself but everyone for the past year or so. Back in March of 2005 I found myself being flirted with by my then best friend, Jerome. I was pretty drunk and decided to go along with it. To cut a long story short, I ended up letting him ram me up the arse in the school toilets when it was empty.
A few weeks later, I got a tearful Jerome phoning me while I was at home. After interrogating him for a bit, he ended up confessing that he was HIV positive, and had been for the past 18 months before we slept together. We didn't use a condom on that hot day in those toilets, so I was even more devastated! After my initial shock, I went to the hospital the next morning and got tested. I received the results 2 weeks later and it turned out Jerome had passed the infection on.
We spent the entire night crying into each others arms.
That was over 2 years ago, and things are now getting serious. Jerome died back in October, a month after the symptoms began to show in me. I tried to put it behind me and pretend everything was OK. Obviously, this can't be done. Things have been getting worse over the past few months and I eventually consulted my doctor two months ago after people began commenting more on my appearance.
I'm coming to my end now. Nearly all of symptoms have kicked in now, and the doctors say I don't have long left at all, possibly two months at best. I'm now the weakest I've ever been. My weight has plummeted beyond belief and I've not been into school for months now. I thought I could carry on, but I cannot lie to myself anymore.
I've had to get this off my chest while I still have some time left. I've decided that I can no longer waste my short life away on the internet. I have to experience life as best as I can now.
Therefore, I'm sad to announce that I am leaving FFE and the internet in general from now on. I've requested my account be banned and I'm changing my password so even if I am unbanned, I can't make my way back on here.
I'm sorry to leave you all like this, but I have to.
God bless you all,
AIDS Patient.
