Hi My name is Davon,I really had some rough times growing up in Queens.But when
I went to college that was the most trying time for me,Let me tell you all about it. It all started in my freshman year.....
I had alot of friends,a couple of girlfriends yeah it seems like a normal college person going to an away college. I went to parties,got drunk,got high.
I'm not a bragger butI went around sleeping with numerous amounts of girls.
Well i had plenty of friends < but I had a few bestfriends.The main two were john and his girlfriend,Gina.John and I grew up in the same neiborhood and basically went to the same schools and we have always been like brothers.Theone thing about John and i was that we would never hold secrets from each other;thats why we were so close.
My other close friend was his girlfriend Gina,even though she was a girl and his girl,we always and will always be friends.Don't get me wrong Gina was fineand exactly my type,But we were just friends.Gina and iknew each other from high school and we always kept in contact,maybe a would go to her for advice or
she would come to me for advice and we would help each other out in our times of need.
Well to make this horrilbe story about my life in college short,John saw Gina talking to another Guy in the hallway and John's the real jealous type.He got mad at her.Gina told John they had the same class and were just friends.They started this big argument.From my piont of view John was just blowing things out of porportion.
The type of person I am I never get in the middle of a argument and I really didn't have anything to do with this. According to john this is not the first time that he saw Gina with this guy.I think his name is Chris, who I saw around campus with alot of girls ,but i guess Gind knows that too.
Well John and Gina evidently broke up and life went on.John would no longer talk to Gina and Likewise>Hey!thats not what I expected to happen but at least there was peace between the two and that was more than I could ever ask for.
One day I was going to my english class and a saw Gina in the hallway crying
histerically. Like she just found out she had some type of deadly incurable disease,But little as I know I was in for abig surprise.(literally).So
I proceeded toward her and said "why are you crying?"i'am not feeling to good I just need some time to rest" she told me.
I later went to Gina's dorm room to talk to her" Gina you have to tell me what is really going on with you" i said.
She sat me down" Davon I went to the clinic yesterday and I found out that I am HIV positive." oh my God " I said. Not wanting her to feel ashmed I just hugged her and told her every thing would be fine.
Gina revealed that she was cheating on John while they were going out and John didn't know this.But then If Gina has HIV what about John?I was worrid about him and how he would take the news that he might have HIV.
Gina and I always knew we could confind in each other so was I suppose to tell John that Gina might have given him HIV? if I did John would want to kill Gina and Chris for ruin his whole life.
Or was I suppose to let it go and let John get with another girl and mess up her life also?I had to do what was right.
I had to follow my heart because it was eating me up inside.I had to let it out.To weeks went by and I still didn't tell anyone , so I went down to John's room. \He was clowning around as always when i came in.
I said " John I gotta talk to you its very important.
"What is it I'm playing playstation I'm on the last board i"m about to end it".
John I gotta talk to you" I said. It"s serious.It's about Gina."
"You wanna try and get us back together, well It's never gonna happen.I hate her and she hates me.
I got so mad at him I turned the game off" Gina is HIV positive" I told him"she contracted it when you and her were going out and there is achance that you might have it too!
We literally rushed to the hospital and got John tested.But on the way to the clinic he started to cry."Why is this happening to me? " John asked" why am I going to die this way?
" you are not going to die like this" I told him." you will be fine". But It wasn't.
To make this yery long story short John got tested and the test came back negative .He was so happy he got another chance at life and he was going to make the best out of it. Evidently John and Gina were using condoms as birth control not knowing it protected him from HIV.
But with Gina I felt so sorry for her and the other girls that might have contracted it from Chris. I never thought it would happen to a friend so dear to me. So now i came to this conclusion: AIDS has no discrimination;it dosen't care how beautiful, ugly ,nice,old or young you are.Anyone can get it! so I stoped having sex altogether until mI got married 2 years later.
I speak to John every couple of months. He lives in L.A,But i didn,t hear from Gina since college.
I hope and pray that she is o.k . We constantly say , "no it won't happen to me
me "but in life we make choices , and we have to make extra careful that the choice we make are good choices.
