Dis-ease

This morning i was dreaming that i was in a relationship with the most loving ,caring man that any woman could ask for.
Then one morning i woke up(this is in my dream) and he wasn't there.
I went looking for him and found him across a small and narrow brook bank, it was sandy on both sides.
I crossed without a problem and did not get wet.
He was lying in a double bed on his tummy , so i layed down next to him and asked him what was wrong.
He told me he thought he had AIDS.
I kind of snickered at first, like he was just joking, then i realized that he meant it.
I kissed him and that is all i remeber about that part of the dream.
Earlier in the dream i started talking to a woman in our town that i know and she also told me that she thought that she had AIDS.
I told her that she could have the disease for years and never have symptoms.
She felt better after i said that to her.

What do you think all this means?
It is a bit unnerving dreaming about that particular disease.
I don't have any fear of it, but i find it odd that i would dream about 2 people in my dream who thought they had it.

Thanks
Take care
