So the 2nd person to be cured / cleared of HIV made quite a headline...
If that person is you, what would be the first thing that you'd do, and why?
Yep I would too
Most of the resources for HIV deals with the gay community or is targeted towards the gay community. The HIV+ straight community feels left out in so many ways when dealing with this disease. How can the gay community bring more openness, and more resources to the positive straight community? How can the gay community help the straight community deal with this disease as one and not separate? How can we get HIV organizations to bring awareness to the positive straight community? Even though we… read more
Yes. Id like to know same thing. I was lucky in 2004 to meet husband on a hiv dating site. He passed in 2014.
And could you be sexual involved with another positive person ,with starting your life all over again. I found that most man or woman having it hard to move forward because there still thinking about what pain that other cause them . So they rather not be bothered,or just maybe there heart is still with the person who hurt them so dearly.what are your thoughts to this situation?
@A myHIVteam Member until last August, I was involved with a DL bi guy. We played around for close to 7 years. I never told him I had HIV Per se. What I said is you need to wear a condom with me… read more
I’m a 30 year old male and was diagnosed with HIV in 2020 and till now have so many questions on dating with HIV. Would be interested to learn more about how it’s like for you guys and how you are managing because i think i’m ready to date again but as you may relate to the challenges involved with that.
@A myHIVteam Member & @A myHIVteam Member. As long as you are undetectable, you are safe for a hookup. It is not the responsibility of those with HIV to guard the public from risky behavior. Those… read more
I mean HIV/AIDS isn't as bad as most people describe it,but how will they know if we HIV positive people are afraid of spreading the information.I feel if the world gets to see it as normal(how healthy we are despite living with the virus),I think that will leave them with nothing to 'finger-point' at😌
Being HIV positive isn't a sin nor a burden,so let's paint a beautiful and bright picture together for the world to see, instead of us just meeting in the dark because we fear judgement. I feel… read more
I agree. Visibility is the enemy of stigma. I can live “out” without concerns, but unfortunately some can’t.
Please try and be as detailed as possible.
Taking atripla since August 2012, have always experienced a slight feeling of not being able to focus, or feeling somewhat “foggy” in the mornings after waking up, or not being able to think out step by step how to handle something in a stressful environment. Also forgetting small things here and there. Not sure if it could be related to atripla, but these issues didn’t come about until I started It almost 6 years ago

I live in a under-educated part of the country, where if you are honest you are typically shunned. As long as they don't know, all seems to be well. Ignorance is indeed bliss.
I find that at 56 I have become completely comfortable with the man I am and with what I need from a mate. It seems that this clarity coupled with my status creates a very difficult set of circumstances which makes meeting someone both compatible and mutually attracted even harder.
Anyone else experience similar… read more
Yes, but that ok I guess
