For one thing, just be a friend. If that person feels down, give them a hug, sit with them, even if they don't say anything, just give them the feeling they are not alone. Show them you are not scared to touch them. Show them they can count on you and you will find answers to all the other questions.

Support is what you can give. Luckily today though, pharmacists and doctors consider HIV chronic, rather than acute nowadays, due to mulitple meds out on the market. HIV care has been increasing by leaps and bounds. Tell your friend this. Tell him/her HIV isn't as bad as it used to be 20 years ago, and the virus is rather chronic, and new meds are coming out. A cure will be found soon, scientists are working furiously at developing new gene therapy drugs, even using interleukins to help destroy infected cells. All in all, give support, and make sure you let your friend know that it IS okay to be HIV positive. Many drugs available as I mentioned. If you need assistance in drug selection, or any support, email me. ljxc69@yahoo.com
