When i was about twelve, i was convinced i had AIDS - despite never having had sex, taken any kind of drugs or anything else that could potentially lead to me actually having AIDS. I wasn't so much scared as resigned to death. I told my parents one night not to bother buying me Christmas presents because I was going to die soon. My mum explained to me how i couldn't get AIDS simply by doing the whole blood brothers handshake thing with my friend. I was relieved and asked if I could have a BMX for Christmas, which I got.
