Abstract
My mother was ill with cancer for a few years and I was her primary caretaker. I didn’t want to deal with the knowledge of being HIV-positive while she was sick, nor would I have wanted her to know about it, because of the worry it would have caused her. I might not have been able to keep it a secret, so I waited until after she died before I got tested for HIV.
