The fact that I escaped my drug-using days without catching HIV is one of the most fortunate developments of my life. My lord, the anxiety and fearful projections I experienced years in the future when waiting out the week for the results of my HIV test. This was back when HIV was a death sentence. Phew. Yikes and phew, I am lucky to have gotten out of that absurd crapshoot alive. Guardian angels, my sweet angels, thank you.
