My dad used a dirty needle while doing d***s and got HIV. In 2008 he told us he was living with aids because of that one day. We have helped pay for the meds or his bills(because he paid for his meds and didn’t have the money) ever since. Last summer he got Covid and when the doc was talking to my sister on the phone she asked what special treatment he would need to have due to having aids. His doctor of 20 years said, “what? He doesn’t have aids”. We haven’t talked to him since.
Edit for clarification:
- At the time, He said he had been living with HIV for years and that it developed into AIDS for not treating it.
- I was 16 and dumb. No I didn’t sit down and interrogate my father for hours to make sure he wasn’t lying. How dare I not know right?
- he gave permission to the doctor to speak to my sister about his medical treatment. No laws broken.
- the doctor clarified. It wasn’t a 2 min conversation. He had been seeing my dad as a patient for 20 years and knew his medical history. He was as upset us we were that he lied.
- after finding out, me and my sister confronted him and he admitted to it all. HE NEVER HAD HIV OR AIDS. IT WAS ALL A LIE.
