I’ve never heard anyone say “I’ve got the HIV”. Have you?
They just say “I’ve got HIV”. Or more commonly “I’m positive”.
Just seems off. OP was purposely tipping his hat.
Did he actually post medical records? I laughed out loud when people checked themselves and suggested that should be handled by PM in the future.
Yes. An article of reference is commonly added when saying the full title completely, such as “I’ve contracted the human immunodeficiency virus.”
Even more oddly some subsequent posters also referred to it as “the hiv”. Easily influenced. Kinda detracted from the serious dialogue.
