This false information has been put out there and it's created this stigma that stops us from going to find out if we're infected. The truth is it doesn't matter who you are, if you're having sex, you need to be getting tested, plain and simple.

Was it knowing someone so well that they instantly understood why you did the things you did—and shared those same beliefs?
