I am a 51 yr old male and I take care of a HIV+ person he is a very good friend of mine for 16 yrs. I would never trade any of my time with him that we spent togather. Some times he pisses me off so bad, but I would never trade that for anything. I guess in a way it keeps me going. I know that some times I make his life so nagging but it is because I do care and wont let him give up. If I had to do it all over, I would with no regrets. Its because that is they way I was raised never give up on your friend. I wont , I will be there for him. I do not do it for glory or praise I do it because I want to and because I do care for him and all that have this. Some of my family has turned there backs on me but I look at it like this. If I was in his shoes who would help me? Who would care for me? Who would see I go to the Drs? What you put into life is what you get in return and I feel I will be rewarded maybe not here but I will.
