Here I am sitting on my porch
thinking about the past and wishing that I could turn back time and
fix the mistake that I made. But I was only 14 years old and at that
time I was popular and a lot of boys liked me. Every time I had a
date with a boy I would always have sex with him to please him, so
they would always ask me to go out on a date, until I went out with
this new boy who had HIV virus and I didn't know about
it. While the virus was destroying my
immune system I finally found out that the boy had HIV. I was very
scared so I went to the hospital for a blood test. When the doctor
told me I had HIV I started crying, and I was so angry at that boy
but I couldn't do anything about it because I already had the virus.
After the other students found out about me they quit hanging out
with me, and the boys quit asking me out. The only friends I had were
my family and, of course, my best friend who coaxed me out of
thinking about the virus and to make some goals for my short life.
After I graduated from high school, I went to college for only one
year because I kept getting sick and having to go to the hospital all
the time. Then for a couple years I visited different high schools
and talked to teens about AIDS, what it had done to my life and how
it could affect their futures.
Every time I went out on a date with
a boy I would tell him that I had AIDS, and I would get tired of
their face changes. One day, though, I went out with this guy who had
AIDS and we had a lot in common, so we started seeing each other and
got married a couple months later. But four months after we were
married my husband passed away, and I felt very lonely and hardly
went out. A few months after that when I looked in a mirror I finally
noticed I was getting skinny and pale. But I always tried not to
think of dying and to go on with my life.
My advice to young teens is to use
protection while having sex and be a lot more careful if you want to
live a long life.
