With HIV being a chronic illness, lots of people who are single have a difficult time connecting with others due to this virus.
How do you feel about dating someone who does not have the HIV virus?
Yes I would tell them it's up too them whether or not where I live there's 7,000 people so ...no go here maybe Chicago it's a bigger city
Comment in a good way.
I’m 16 years down from the time I tested positive. And to be honest I don’t think the person who infected me was aware themselves. My only wish is that they found out and seek treatment. If would come… read more
Most of HIV deals with gay men. Straight people with HIV probably feel left out with support, help, or somebody to talk to. My question for straight people is, how do you address things when people talk about HIV and how it's a gay disease, and how gays deserve it for being deviants.

I speak to ALL people it hurts me that BECAUSE of the new medication people are going so haphazardly into unprotected sex I try to get them focused on IT IS STILL A HORRIBLE DISEASE 💯👌🤘👋👍🧐☢️🚧😭😇🙏💯
Given the opportunity to know (for those of us infected through person-to-person contact ) whom it was that spread the virus to you , would you or have you forgiven that person?

Just wanted to get a consensus how long term survivors are doing in general. Health, getting enough support, relations with family and friends, encountering any stigmas. I've lived with HIV half my life, diagnosed with HIV in 1987. I am having issues with all of the above. It is hard finding a place to fit in.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Major support from family health not so good but due to family history of vascular disease
Well it’s been almost one year since my life changed. 4 months not knowing what’s going on an 8 months testing positive and on biktarvy. A lot has changed and while I know that I’m officially positive my question is .the first month I had sex during those 4 months and came down with flu like symptoms I got a rapid antibody test from a clinic which turned out negative. I was so happy I cried. Well that didn’t last long they told me to come back in 2 months and I became positive.my question is… read more
Excellent! @A myHIVteam Member.
Also mirrors depression "too little" and anxiety "too much". Can't turn it on. Can't turn it off.
I have been in a relationship with a white man ,he used to love me and care for me ,support me in everything I needed from him but I have never slept with him ,he was on his process coming to Uganda to visit me but out of fear I decided to disclose him my status before coming .now as am talking his nolonger communicating with me and he couldn't continue with me because his negative guys am depressed .and I really need to be with some one am tired of being single
