Members responded warmly to the question about whether love is still the greatest power, with many affirming that love, whether romantic or self-directed, remains a source of strength, hope, and healing. Several members shared deeply personal stories, including heartbreak, divorce, loss of a beloved pet, and the challenges of dating while living with HIV, noting that fear, stigma, and past wounds can make love feel distant or hard to find. A recurring theme was that love begins with forgiving and accepting yourself, and that while romantic love can be difficult to find, the hope for connection and the courage to keep the heart open never fully disappears.

Love is the most used word with so many meanings. I love ice cream, love football, love making love. Love my job, love to travel and love being in love. But narrowing it down is the difficult part.

I do believe in the power of love. How do I know? Because it is missing from my life. When love is present in my life, I am happier and healthier, mentally and physically. The contrast between the presence and absence of live is profound. The difference it makes in all aspects of my life is phenomenal. Without it, I feel lost, alone, hopeless and sad. While it is important to love oneself, it is just as important to feel loved and cherished by others.

It can be, but at this day and age in the gay community, most people are looking for Mr. Right Now, rather than Mr. Right. Also, from my experience, it doesn't seem to matter where I go, people absolutely f*cking suck!

I believe in the greatest love ever known, the love of Jesus Christ for each one of us. If you have Jesus, you have everything.

Creo en el mayor amor jamás conocido el amor de Jesucristo por cada uno de nosotros, si tienes a Jesús lo tienes todo.

True @A myHIVteam Member. So much of our human experience is how we've been able to approach life's challenges. At end, our HIV is just another challenge. Save for stigma. I'm thankful for the U=U campaign I see in media. When it comes to sex, I submit that us PLWH who are on meds and reasonably well controlled are the safest choice of sex partner. And yet within our community here, there are way too many stories about new lovers who ruled by fear of what was 40 years ago rule them today.
