what do i do?

a little over a year ago i fell in love for the 1st time with a man who was having major problems in his 3 yr relationship and my 23 yr marriage was coming to its end. we were there for each other and because of problems both our exes created we landed up apart and his judgemental family pressured him into returning to her and because i truly love him i understand why he did. i also knew that if she got him back she was going to do what it took not to lose him again after she realized she almost did. a few months later he showed up looking for me at a mutual friends house that i was having problems with. see i had moved so i could get a fresh start. anyway the mutual friend has another friend who i recently found out has been jealous of the friendship i had with the mutual friend and when i went into seclusion she started a rumor that i had aids which i don't. what i'm afraid of is that instead of telling him how to find me they told him i might have aids and he got scared.
