If undetectable why do we have to disclose these laws make things worse I read a story on the news were the man was undetectable and wore a condom but was jailed and his face and named blasted on the news really makes me angry
And regardless of proof, just being charged gets published around here. And legal costs to defend oneself are easily four digits of not five. Honestly I prefer poz4poz.
I asked this question 3 years ago. Many people have joined since then.

Has your HIV status made a difference in your dating life?
I was dating too much after my ex boyfriend. My status was not a hinderance. I’m no longer looking to date just to love myself and stay emotionally healthy.

I was talking to my therapist about HIV disclosure to potential sex partners and he told me about a organization that defends PLWH against prosecution
