It's extremely possible to get in a relationship no matter what your HIV status is.

My best advice is to learn to love and accept yourself and your status. Don't be afraid of it. Fight it and overcome it

Once you do that, love will find you...

Dont try too hard. Try to concentrate on your favourite pastimes. I went down this pathway instead of looking for a partner. I found love from my Pets so no need for a partner now
