text: i just found out my best friend has hiv? i love her to death even tho we've only known each other a couple of months.. she told she had been hiv positive for a year and half now... my questions is how can i help her without making it seem like i feel sorry for her or like i'm changing around her cuz i know this now the best thing you can do is educate yourself on hiv and aids.  visit any one (or all) of these sites:  www.thebody.com , www.poz.com , www.aegis.com , www.cdc.gov/hiv, www.knowhiv.com, or www.fightaids.com .  the more you know about the condition, the better you'll be able to handle your friend's illness.
