Again, you worry only because you are unsure if you have AIDS. If you knew you had AIDS, you could stop worrying. So pull yourself up by your bootstraps and get yourself infected!

In lame defense of **HeWhoNeedsTheTruth** , how’s he going to see a doctor? Isn’t this dude so destitute that he’s living at a youth hostel? Who here supposes he had any kind of medical insurance? How’s he gonna pay for any doctor, let alone a course of psychotherapy?

He can sign up with his health insurance exchange if he’s too poor to have private insurance.

Pun intended, I assume.

Counter point to that is that, well, he came up with the funds to get a root canal. That shit’s expensive. I was broke once and in a similar dental bind. That’s why I got the tooth extracted - I couldn’t afford the root canal.

He managed to get himself the root canal, so I don’t have a whole lot of sympathy for the possibility that he can’t find an affordable doctor.
