I want to know if, when you found out you were positive for HIV/AIDS, how many of us actually stopped having sex for a while?

Good question I was never sexually active just stupid when I did have sex I didn’t have them use a condom all the time. However since I’ve been diagnosed 15 months ago I had sex a couple of times always with a condom I didn’t care if I was undetectable I didn’t want to get any other sexual transmitted diseases. Sex is the last thing on my mind right now but I’m human I know that will change.
