Andreas Georgiou: "My father brought AIDS home, so I lost my mother"

Andreas Georgiou is one of the actors who has spoken openly about AIDS, from which his mother left when he was 10 years old, the taboos, his brother who has been infected with the disease and his father who transmitted the virus. in their family. He himself stated in previous interviews:

At first I felt wronged, I had questions about what happened and I said, "Why me?" But then I accepted. I feel lucky, because it did me good.

The big turn in the course of my life took place around 10. I felt that my mom was "leaving" and leaving me a responsibility. At 13, I wanted to leave home. I was also stabbed with my father for a long time. That's when I made my revolution. I went against him, considering him responsible for what was happening to us. For many years I blamed him for the loss of my mother after bringing the disease home. He loved us, he loved us dearly. I had a problem with him. When I turned 20, I forgave him and our relationship changed, because at that age you realize that everyone has the right to make mistakes. Only then did I realize how easy it is to make a mistake.

I was lucky enough to share our story with the world and that worked psychotherapeutically, as I overcame many complexes. When you are dealing with this disease, you feel the fear of rejection. Speaking, then, I overcame it, while also helping my brothers, since the wound is the same for everyone. What applies to me also applies to them. We all had the same consequences

My brother is fully aware. He is very strong and healthy. He lives a very normal life. We are very close. We work together. We are very close. My brother lives, dreams, has goals, achieves things, gets better every day. It is an example for people who go through this problem and think that they can not fall in love, that it is useless to make plans. Today being HIV positive is not as serious as having another simple but great relationship in your life
