Absolutely, having a relationship with someone who is also HIV-positive is possible and many people do it! That said, there are some important things to keep in mind to protect both of you.
Even when both partners are HIV-positive, it's still important to practice safe sex. Here's why:
- Superinfection – You can potentially be infected with a different strain of HIV, which could complicate treatment.

Open communication with each other and your healthcare provider is key. Many people with HIV live full, loving, and happy relationships — you absolutely deserve that too! 💙
