My boyfriend just informed me that he is HIV positive. I'm scared to death because we've been dating for two years, and have been engaging in unprotected, yet monogamous sex.

My questions are, 1. should I continue to have unprotected sex with him since I have in the past? 2. Should I get tested?

The first thing you should do is get tested. Hopefully you aren't infected, but if you are, you should know.
