A person that is close to you (personally or professionally) comes to you and shares-
You know my partner and I have been in a closed relationship now for 3 yrs. I have never had a reason to think they were cheating, and I have not cheated. However, I had a full work up done at the Doctor last week because there has been talk about having a child.
Well, one of my tests came back stating that I have HIV?
What do you do? This person is asking you, what they should do with this life changing information that was just dropped on them.
They are upset, crying, asking why, how, when, who.
Do they call the partner or text the partner, do they break up with them, do they not tell them. Am I going to die, will my baby have this.
All of this happens in about 5 minutes, maybe even less.
What do you do? They are right in front of you, eyes filled with tears and they are visible scared.
