AIDS: from the heart stories about AIDS and you!

,is his opinion.

A heart wrenching story yet so common in youngsters is the story told by Tarynn, Dallas, Texas In her words, 'My story is fairly short but, unfortunately, all too common.

My best friend's boyfriend was diagnosed with hepatitis C, and after a week my friend stopped by his doctor's office on his way to the airport to leave for vacation on Wednesday.

The following Tuesday, I got his call on my cell phone. Knowing it was time for him to return, I answered with a cheery, Welcome home!

All I could hear on the other end were heartbreaking sobs. I knew who it was but I didn't know why. He finally choked out the words, 'I got it.'

'Got what?' I asked, patiently, but the cold knot of fear was already solidifying. 'Hep C?'

'No, I got IT!' he wailed, and my own life changed with the icy splinters of HIV in the middle of a gorgeous day in May, just one year ago.

To this day, I still recall the coldness, gut-wrenching helplessness, fear, sadness, guilt and distance I felt, knowing my friend of more than 10 years may likely not see the end of another decade.

However, there have been some good results. He's one of the lucky ones -- he has a good job with full benefits and can afford the quarterly testing and monthly prescriptions and weekly counseling sessions. He also found out very early, within months. Unlike others, he will have a chance to fight back.

Still, it was a needless thing. It only took once. Meanwhile, his former partner was lucky to have only caught hepatitis C.

It's been a wrenching experience for him and for me over the last year, but it has had some benefit. My friend will graduate college this summer. He's finally getting help for the depression that's chased him for years.

For me, the biggest change has been the realization that time is precious and there isn't enough. I'm going to grad school now, taking an active role
