HIV+: or not, depression may be from another cause (guilt over risky behaviors, inherited depression, not knowing, etc) The best medicine for anxiety and rumination when possibilities loom and the mind imagines all sorts of outcomes is to replace uncertainty with knowledge. Start with the local HIV hot line or depression hot line and go from there ( recruit the help of trained people who do this )
