You can't 'catched' anything, let alone AIDS. It's a common misconception but you cannot catch AIDS. You catch HIV which can progress to AIDS, but AIDS in itself cannot be caught i.e. you can get HIV and not have AIDS but not the other way around.
If I caught HIV I'd be devastated, but think I would try to manage it around my life. It has become easier to live with HIV due to increased awareness and safeguards (although neither is 100%). If it developed to AIDS, well, that would be a different matter altogether. |

It's caught, not catched. Get it right. |

If I caught AIDS I would feel badly.
However, I have no intention of catching it, or of doing anything that could lead to catching it. |

I have a friend who has HIV, he has had it for 10 years and has only just started taking medication to prevent it developing into AIDS. He doesn't talk too much about it - he told me it affected him much more when he found out and now he doesn't even think about it every day. I guess we all have a life sentence hanging over us - he knows that he has a disease which could potentially kill him but he has learned to deal with it and so has his partner. he's a real inspiration for being so strong. |

My partner has been HIV+ for 25 years. We have been together for 12 years and I remain negative. He never thought anyone could/would be interested in being with him. I feel we have enriched the lives of each other. In all honesty we don't think about it all the time. It's there. when he takes his medications each day, with the appointment to see the specialist and the medical problems that he has besides the HIV. But realistically they are no different than people that face other life threatening illness like cancer.
With the personal experiences I have gained I have been able to add this knowledge to my professional life and have never been more fulfilled professionally. |

I would be very annoyed, considering there is no reason why I should, except for careless nurses taking blood samples, or dentists and their instruments. |
