Has Your Partners Stopped Having Any Type Of Intimate Relationship With You Since Or Shortly Before Your Diagnosis?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

My partner and i haven done anything sexual since 3 months before my diagnosis. He gets angry when i try to talk about it and wont truly kiss me other than a peck on the lips. He has said he just isnt in to sex any more but every night he is on some website called "bateworld" and jacking off. I feel dirty. I miss that connection we had. I know he isnt cheating on me with anyone but i feel like the website is more important than me.

I guess you are in good company based on the responses. I am was in the same boat. I was in a relationship for 10 years. I was further along with my HIV than my partner and got really sick in 1996. My sexual desire went way down and we began to have problems. We worked on it but for us, things didn't work out. He decided to go out of the relationship for gratification. I could accept once in a while if he would just tell me, but it was much more than just a few times. It sounds like your partner still loves you and that is a powerful platform to have. I feel he will come around. Everyone's experience is different concerning this as you can tell by the answers. Sending you my best wishes on this. Been there.

Sadly yes. I cheated and got diagnosed. The person who I was with for 9 years dump me and go out with someone else. Then he got dumped. Even when we're back together (as friend), I know it will never be the same.
