I have a friend, whom I met a few months ago. He moved to my area from Tennessee in search of work, and found a job as a drywaller. He has been very homesick, and in his loneliness, has been very careless in his personal 'relationships'. This weekend he told me he is HIV+, and it caught me totally off-guard, and did not really know how to respond.

Just tell him you are very sorry and be a supportive friend. One of my very good friends has HIV for many years now. She gets sick all the time. I just try to be there when i can. It should not change your friendship. Understand your friend may go through different mood changes. He may be very angry at himself. Just be a friend.
