Hello...
First thing is this is a very common problem now which is there due to abnormal posture or lifting heavy weights in wrong posture.... Trauma etc..its curable... You don't have to take such an extreme step for it...you are not doomed...90% of such cases get healed with proper rest....physiotherapy also plays an excellent role....consult a neurosurgeon or an orthopaedician... Take an opinion...please do not worry so much...and definitely
HIV is dreadful... No comparison to the deadly communicable disease.... Thank you...you also need to consult a counsellor or psychiatrist as its a very small issue for suicide...please don't lose hope
