I can appreciate too that you are worried in terms of not knowing what your own status is.<\/p>\n<p>Although it must be difficult to take in your ex-boyfriend&#8217;s news, he has at least given you the opportunity to find out about your own status.<\/p>\n<p>You mention that you are scared to go for a test. This is not uncommon, and many people are afraid to test for HIV. However, the only way \u00a0you will be able to know what your status is for sure, will be to go for a test. Knowing your status will not only put your mind at ease, it will also enable you to plan what to do next.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My boyfriend just told me yesterday that he is HIV positive.<\/p>\n<p>We used condoms most of the time before we broke up in July.
