@A myHIVteam Member Yes, please talk to your doctor about the emotional issues you're feeling. He/she may suggest a counselor of some kind, which may help a great deal.

It will start by you both coming to speak to someone separately so you both can air out your concerns and issues.Then start come together to share those concerns so you both can hopefully be on common ground for your relationship.
If you have a religious background for the both of you, speaking to your clergy may help if you feel more comfortable.There are support groups for couples in your situation that may help. Sometimes hearing from other couples that are going/ gone through what you both are dealing with right now can help as well. I hope these ideas can help you both in this difficult time.
