need some answers

I am 26 yrs old ,just woundering if there are other younger gay men with HIV. I just found out on Sept 12 -08,and i am in shock. I have a partner that is HIV neg . On sept 22nd I get the 2nd test back, I have had no sings at all. I havent been sick with a cold or anything. No sings at all. I just need to find a group ,and need some support from other HIV positive people. I cant believe it, this was one of my worst fears. I know one day at a time, and i know I can live a long time with HIV.

Hey...my names Tremaine and I just found out yesterday 10-17-08 that I was HIV +....What ***** about it of course is that Im so young...Im only 19. I still havent talked to my boyfriend (which Im sure he gave it to me) Im still in shock as well. Im not showing signs at all either and I guess thats wat scares me....knowing that I wont always be how I am now I guess....Im lucky to say that I have a lot of support from my friends, friends who truely care for me and are helping me through this. I still havent told my parents as I know this would crush them and I just cant handel that right now. Im sorry Im not expert on this but I just thought that your not the only young person here that just found out...and I found out it helps me to talk to other HIV + people.
