So who has dated since finding out they were positive?

I am going on a date with a girl I've known since high school tomorrow. She knows I'm positive, but not necessarily what I'm looking for! I'm going to get practice! Is that messed up?

Members enthusiastically supported someone navigating dating while HIV positive, with the overwhelming consensus being that honesty and clear communication upfront are essential to protect everyone's time and emotions.

A recurring theme was encouragement to simply enjoy the experience without pressure, as genuine connections can surprise you even when you least expect them.

Nothing wrong with practice dating especially if the other is aware. Sounds like a good start!
