How are you doing, darling?

Re-introducing pills and stress isn't going to mix well, darling. But you listen to me. You need to take care of both of you, and he needs to do the same. It's a terrifying and scary time for him, of course it is, but you realise it's not a bad thing for him to see you at your worst, right? I tried to cockblock Aiden with that and it only hurt him. He needs to have that first-hand experience that all this is part of you, and it's part of loving you.

I don't want to inflict it all on him. I'm trying. He wants to know these things and I'm trying to help him get his head around it. It's just hard when we're both not feeling so hot. And what he's going through, is it really far to say "Hey, look at me! Case study on what you've got to look forward to!"

Honey, this is not the HIV doing this to you, and you know it. Yes, he's going to feel rough for a few weeks and side effects can be a real bitch for some of us, but what he is witnessing isn't what the HIV has done to you. It's the psychological and emotional scarring. I think he would rather you be taking the meds again and feeling sick that being terrified you're going to hang yourself in the bathroom, don't you think? This is battle for you both to fight. Together.
