Just got a call from a good friend of mine that he tested positive for HIV. I'm in shock for him and will probably go down to his place to hang with him this weekend. Kind of at a loss of how I can help/be supportive. Anyone else go through anything like this?

No, people I know are smart enough to get free condom from clinics.

Things happen in life no one can control, people make mistakes, and yours was being a TROLL in this thread. See you in 2 weeks.

Just be there for him. And don't be afraid to hug or touch him.

Free condoms from clinics break most often.

Don't be cheap and buy the good ones if you can't go w/o doin' it.

But no, i haven't been in that situation. Just be there for him and make every day your w/him a good one.

Did you say how in the OP? No. What do you think HIV ads suggest people get it from? Hmmm?

It does not matter how he got it, nor is it any of our business or relevant to the OP's request for information.

Fvck, he could have saved (or tried to save) a guys life (who had HIV) and his blood got into his mouth, open wound, eye, etc.

Stop being an a$$hat.

I'm not being a cock. If you need help, you should go see a shrink, not talk about your friend's misfortune on a forum.

What do you suppose people on this forum can do? If he doesn't want it to be people's business, he shouldn't post about it on a forum.

You know this for a fact because you're there when his friend got infected?

I agree with you quite a bit Baked, but not in this case. Your comment was mean-spirited and unnecessary..

once again, people can share their experiences.

I agree, way out of line comments from a normally reasonable forum member.
