Do You Have Trouble Finding Someone To Date Because Of HIV And/or Your Age? How Do You Handle It?

The discussion started because I had mentioned that I was interested in sleeping with someone that I have a casual thing with but we haven't had the talk and I was thinking about not pursuing it any further. He seriously made me feel dumb… read more
