How Long Should You Wait To Start Dating After Being Finding Out Your Results?
A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭

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?

Right a way IMO. You don't have to have sex. Whether or not I date another positive person depends on the person. IMO, an HIV diagnosis is still trauma. So it depends on how well they've dealt with it and the details around how they became positive. How can you deal with my HIV if you can't deal with your own. I'd only date people in good mental and emotional working order. You don't need an HIV diagnosis to empathize and love your partner.

Let me be the first to answer my question, it depends. If he ask me for forgiveness from the heart .yes I would find us a therapist to iron out everything so there's no bitterness lurking inside. Before we even consider being sexual involved again and maybe we can rekindle our love again.because life is short

@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. It didn't stop what we were already doing. Trust and honesty is the best way. To be honest, I was more afraid of him saying he wanted to get more involved then my HIV.
