I’ve been married for 12 years with a son. I am an engineer with a popular construction company. As part of our work schedule, we travel to different locations, far and near. Whenever we travel, we try to have fun as much as possible after work. On one of our many trips, my co-worker suggested we patronize some prostitutes after work. I was initially reluctant, but I agreed after much pressure.

Four weeks later, I was back home. Then, I suddenly developed a fever. I had sore throat and cold sweats at night. I was getting worried… I hoped I did not get any STD cause the condom broke during intercourse with the prostitute. My wife was worried too but I told her it’s just stress from traveling. The following day, I found time to go get tested for HIV secretly. After the test, I waited impatiently for the results. On getting the result, my worst fear was confirmed; I was HIV positive. I immediately got so depressed. There’s no way I could possibly tell my wife. Where will I say I got it from? So, I decided not to tell her.

After some weeks, our only son became critically ill and he needed blood. His blood type is rare, but same as mine. Therefore, the doctor suggested I donate blood to my son. The problem is that I can’t donate my blood to him because of my positive status. I asked the doctor if we can get some blood from the blood bank. The doctor was baffled, he couldn’t understand why I won’t donate blood to my own son. As for my wife, she was totally enraged. “Our only son’s life is at stake. Are you crazy?”, she said. I refused to donate blood on that day.

Since then however, life has been hell for me at home. Our son is still at the hospital and his situation is not getting any better. I am at a crossroads now. I regret that I caved in to the pressure of my coworker and patronized a prostitute. I don’t want my son to die, but I don’t want to infect him with the virus either. This single mistake can possibly destroy my life totally…

Should I confess to my wife and face my fear once and for all? What will she do? What will happen? Will it end my marriage? Help me please…

SHIIIT HAPPENS GUYS!
