HI
my name is Natalie I am 30yrs old. I am HIV psoitive.
It started about 8 years ago when i got in to this relationship that i thought
was the best thing that ever happen to me. His name was Born and i loved
him more then anyhting. I knew at the time that he had a drug problem and
i wanted to help him with that and i can say i did he was doing so good.
Well at the time i thought so anyhow. I was a loving and caring fiancee
and mother of 3 children i was attending school and being the best mom i
could be. The area we was living in i did not think was the bwst for my
children so i decided to mve to another location which was best for my kids
he decided he did not want to go so i left anyhow. Things at this time had
got worse with the drugs and not comming home and just no there. I was not
happy any longer.
Needless to say wehn i moved i sill was not happy becasue all i wanted was
to be with him. I called for him to come what i called home and he did.
When he arrived at hoem he was really sick so i took him to theh ospital
to found out he had pynomonia and brochittas. I knew at the time there was
something else wrong because of the look on the doctores face and how he
wante dhim to stay in the hosptal and he refused. But not my Born i had
no bad thoughts about him at all. So he went home took the medicine and
still was no better.
Well 2 weeks had passed and i went on vaction to NYC. When i returned i
called him to tell him i had returned and thats when i got the news. He
at that time asked me if i had fun and i said yes then he said to me i hope
so because i have something to tell you and he preceded tot ell me he had
tested positive for AIDS. I was devestated. I immediatly went was tested
and i knew what the results was going to be and iw as right i also tested
postive. I thought that was the end of the world i thought my life was over
and i could not deal with it. But guess what I DID. With the wonderful from
support from my family. I stood by his side threw everything i loved him
there was nothing that could change that. Sadly 6 months later Born passed
away i miss him to death.
Its now 4 years later and i am married to a wonderful man who loves me for
who i am and not what i have. When i have my down days he is right at my
side.I am very healthy and at this time i am not taking any medications.
I am doing great. And just to think i never thought i would see this day!!!!!!!
