Positively Unexpected
A few months after a business trip to Las Vegas, my wife and I were hit with a surprise that changed our lives forever—we were both diagnosed with HIV. Everyone at the doctor’s office glared at me, and a few friends and family of ours who we told thought I had been cheating on her.
My wife, however, just asked me once. I told her the truth, which was a definite no. That was good enough for her. Then, after six weeks of tests, our doctors told us that both tests had been false positives.
Apparently, we both got infected by the Coxsackie virus, which caused our lymph nodes to swell up to the size of softballs. Our friends and family admired how much we trusted each other.
My wife explained, “He isn’t exactly a ladies’ man; never has been. He would chicken out before he ever slept with another woman.” She’s right though, so it didn’t hurt. Story credit: Reddit / (thisismycleanuser)
