I am at wits end right now. My brother has been diagnosed HIV+, has lost his job, has no money, no life insurance, no health insurance and all of his fair-weathered friends have disappeared. He lives on the West Coase and I live in the Midwest. I had to respect his lifestyle because he is an adult and that was his choice. All I asked him to do was to practice safe sex to avoid contracting HIV+/AIDS. He couldn't or wouldn't do that. Well, it's too late now. He's gone from 170 lbs. to maybe 100 lbs, according to my sister who is now with him trying to help him to get better. I couldn't make the trip to see him because I've recently had back surgery and am in no physical condition to travel. He is such a good person and to hear him in such pain really brings me down. Please excuse any typos because I am crying as I am typing this message. I don't know how much more of this I can bear, but I have to. He is the one really suffering now so I feel selfish thinking about myself. Please pray for him. Thanks.
