text: what do you do if you get aids?   if i got aids, first of all, i would try to determine when i contracted it and contact all the people i may have infected. i would do this by retracing my steps so to speak. go to the last person i put myself at risk with & backtrack until i get to someone who isn't infected & that would give me an idea who i contracted it from. i would still need to contact the people from before that though, just in case someone just got lucky & didn't get it from me. it's not gonna be easy & i would need to be ready for a few black eyes because if someone came to me and told me they may have given me aids i'd be tempted to give them the biggest beating of their entire life. i know it would be hypocritical of me for having put myself at risk but it's just human nature. other than informing people and making sure i don't infect anyone else, there's not much else i can do. i would just need to make sure i keep myself healthy because the slightest infection would make me very ill.
