Yes there are still some uneducated people out there. I really don't have any problems dating because as soon as they here I'm celibate by choice they don't want to be with especially when I say" Are you worth my salvation?" So I'm good but there are those times I want to be held but it fades. Trying to take care of me is work so why would I want a man I have to look good for and cook plus serve? That's too much work so this widow going to keep it moving in a positive way.

Welcome to the team! I am surprised people have a problem with people from Africa. Try to ignore those people. As far as HIV, it is a tough thing to bring up, especially dating. Sometimes it takes some education. There is preventable measures now available for negative partners like PREP. Also it is said if you are undetectable it is hard to pass on the virus. Might try some POZ dating sites like POZ Match.com if that still is around. Good luck, and we are always here for you!

I find it's hard as soon as you mention that you're POZ....even if you're undetectable
