If you found out you were HIV+

[RussiaPrussia]

I'd find a rifle, train myself, find an uniform, than I would be a Turkish Partizan in Eastern Anatolian mountains against PKK. Perhaps I would join Turkmen brigades of FSA in Syria too. If I'd die on action, I will be known as a martyr. If I die due to AIDS, unless someone does autopsy, I will be known as a victim of an illness, due to hard conditions of war.

or you could try to study medicine and try to help people instead killing them

[Partizan]

all about posthumous fame, right?

Yeah, I don't want to be remembered as "some bloke who died because of unprotected sex", since a death from AIDS will be considered as that. I can't imagine my family trying to explain it to their relatives and neighbours, I can't leave such a burden to their shoulders. Moreover, if my death is certain, I want to be useful before dying. I could do other things than warfare as well but for example if I focus on my academic life, I can leave a half-written thesis in after me. But warfare thing is not like that.

A historian studying medicine? It will take at least 7 years So, fighting for motherland and making the difference is something better.
