Kendrick:"Are you sure baby? Cause I can stay with you..."

Xureila:"GO... haha please... enjoy yourself... I got this.."

Kendrick:"Okay..okay, I was just making sure."

*Later that afternoon Ian gets a call from Dr.Sharp's office*

Ian:"Hello?"

Dr.Sharp:~Mr.Ramos, this is Dr.Sharp.. Im calling to inform you that your tests came back this morning, and i'd like you to come down to my office as soon as possible.~

Ian:"O-okay....what's wrong?"

Dr.Sharp:~Mr.Ramos, these things are best discussed in person...."

Ian:"Understood..."

Dr.Sharp:~when's the soonest you can come in?~

Ian:"Uhh...is tomorrow okay?"

Dr.Sharp~.....hmm let's see...is 12:30 good for you?~

Ian:"Yes.."

Dr.Sharp:~alright, ill see you then.."

Ian:"Okay...... goodbye."

Dr.Sharp:~mhm, bye~

*The next day*

Dr.Sharp:"Ian... goodmorning."

Ian:"Goodmorning......"

Dr.Sharp:"Come in.."

*Dr.Sharp closes the door*

Ian:"Okay Doc.. please....just give it to me straight..."

*She looks at him...*

Dr.Sharp:"Okay....well Ian.. the rapid HIV test that you took came back positive.."

Ian:".....................what????.................so I.........I have HIV?!?"

Dr.Sharp:"Ian...I understand how this can be a bit of a shock to you"

Ian:"... I knew it was possible that I caught something...but I didnt think that i'd have HIV."

Dr.Sharp:"Ian.. Remember that with this rapid test a positive test is considered a preliminary positive, and a preliminary positive result on a rapid test means that it's possible that you have HIV; but we'll need to do some confirmatory tests before we know for sure."

Ian:"Does that mean the test's no good?"

Dr.Sharp:"No, the test's good..but normally when we send blood to the lab for an HIV test, there are multiple tests done there to confirm the result. Today we have only 1 test, so we need to do another one to make sure that it's actually positive."

Ian:"So what you're saying is that I could have HIV and the test says I have it, but it's really a false alarm??"

Dr.Sharp:"Exactly! That's why we need to take some blood to confirm the test which will take about a week to process.....It's really important that you come back to get this result, and that we know how to reach you in case anything get's in the way of you coming back in."

Ian:"Okay..............."

Dr.Sharp:"......Tell me what you're thinking."

Ian:"I.....I just have a lot of questions.... my whole life is gonna change now isnt it?? I'll never be healthy again.... and how am I gonna tell my family??"

Dr.Sharp:"It sounds like you're feeling a lot of things, thats not uncommon when people get a positive result...Ian.. You dont have to decide everything right now."

Dr.Sharp"Take it one step at a time....is there anyone in your family that you feel comfortable talking to about this?"

Ian:"NO!!!....."

Dr.Sharp:"Well is there a friend in particular that you can talk to??"

Ian:"I have one, but im not sure if she'll ever speak to me again if I told her... not after what ive done."

Dr.Sharp:"............"

Ian:"I cheated on the one girl who ever really cared about me..."

Dr.Sharp:"Oh....I see.... well Ian.. nothing beats a try."

Ian:"Yeah.. but HIV?? she'd kill me....."

Dr.Sharp:"Well have you been with her recently since the infidelity??"

Ian:"No... I stopped having sex with her way before all of that.."

Dr.Sharp:"Okay. well that's good. But you still need to talk to someone Ian.. I know that the thought of living HIV positive isnt easy but HIV can be treated, people can live a long time and be healthy with HIV..and it can also be cured in most cases.."

Ian:"Cured?? How?"

Dr.Sharp:"By letting your body do what it's supposed to do naturally... Your body is designed to heal itself, and if you exorcise everyday, eat better, and take your vitamins like you're supposed to your body will heal itself....In most cases, other Doctors wont tell you that because they look at their paychecks at the end of the day....but unlike them..I care. And I wanna help you but you have to be open, and more than willing to help me help you."

Ian:"I am..... I am.....just tell me what I have to do."

Dr.Sharp:"Just take care of yourself, when we have more time and the questions are settled we'll talk with more detail okay?"

Ian:"Alright............thank you."

Dr.Sharp:"You're welcome Ian................and dont worry...you'll be fine either way."
