Tested Positive

Hi, a 28 year old mother of a 6 year old boy, I have only slept with my ex ( babydadd) and my current boyfriend who've I've been dating for 4 years.

When I fell pregnant I had to do blood tests and they all came clean, shortly after giving birth I tested again and I was negative, 6 months after giving birth I was negative as well. I had broken up with my babydaddy then. To cut is short. I am absolutely sure I did not get it from him. I have been doing my testing till last year december and was negative. This month I went and got tested only to find I am +. I have to tell my boyfriend I believe but I don't know if I can wait any longer, part of me wants to call him now and tell me, other part says I should wait till he gets back. Because I was negative when I met him and we have never gone together to get tested. I have asked him several times and he keeps dyving and dodging. Starting to think he knew.

I'm sorry that this happened to you. I know you must feel very emotionally drained right now and probably angry. On the plus side, the virus is not like it used to be and people can live a long time now with it-I'm sure you've heard this before. However, I think it was very cruel on his part to keep dodging when you wanted to get tested together because he may have very well infected you with it and just be in denial. Take care of yourself and your child.
