Itchy


A middle age accountant sat in front of me in the clinic looking calm and collected.


You got HIV.

Oh okay.


Have you ever used intravenous drug illegally before .. y'know cucuk sendiri, sharing needles?


No.


Ever received blood transfusion?


Nope.


Sex with any other girl beside your steady partner.


Er... No


That "er.... no" sounds like a yes to me.


(short pause...) Yeah.

You got to tell your partner that you have this, and use barrier method like condom whenever you guys are having sex.


Er... okay.


(the second er... gave me an itchy butt)


****


Trust need to be earned, not given.


I re-learn it in a hard way recently.
