A Problem Shared
GOT A PROBLEM? DR RANJ SINGH AND WAYNE DHESI ARE HERE TO OFFER THEIR ADVICE...
Dear Attitude,
I’m in my last year at uni and I ended up having unprotected sex with a guy that I’ve been with before. I guess we just got really drunk and let our guard down. I knew I should have gone to get PEP afterwards, but I thought as we had slept together a couple of times last year it would be OK. I got a really bad flu for a couple weeks, and went to the doctor who suggested I take an HIV test. I didn’t think it was necessary but it came back positive.
It has absolutely floored me. I just didn’t think somebody else my age would be at risk of catching HIV. I told my best friend at uni who has been really supportive. I also told my sister in Ireland in confidence but she ended up telling my mum, who is devastated – we’re from a really Catholic family. My mum wants me to come home straight away, but I can’t until Christmas now and I’m terrified of what she must think of me.
I’m also scared for the future, and how this will affect my future relationships. And whether I should discuss this with the guy who I had unprotected sex with. Erik, 21, Manchester
