Would You Date an Hiv+ person?

I have an HIV positive girlfriend. its been 3 months now since we met. serodiscordant couples is what Doc calls us. I met her at an HIV/AIDS hospital and we talk. we just connected immediately. she thought i was Hiv+ as well and i lied i was for a month. I was insecure she would leave me if i told her i wasn't, it seemed like the reason she bonded with me was because she thought i was also positive. at first i thought we would just be friends but things just went too far too fast. my brother told me to just leave her but honestly i love her. i want to be with her. she loves me too. i told her about my hiv status and she felt betrayed but still accepted to be with me if i was willing to be with her. The Doc advised me to get started on taking PREP which i did. My girl takes her meds everyday and her viral load is undetectable,i take my prep meds everyday as well(if you dont know what prep is i have no time to explain). i will not tell any other family member about the hiv status of my girl because they will tell me to leave her just like my brother did and yet my brother is a Doctor i thought he would understand but i was wrong. Some people just don't know what it means to love someone.

Well I have a partner so I'm answering this as if I was single. I would date and HIV+ person if they were like your girl; taking their meds, seeing their doctor regularly and such. Like you in that situation I would also take PREP and it wouldn't be a problem. If you care for this girl and she's worth it then forget what everyone says. It's your life. I'm sure she's a lovely woman :)

I would avoid starting any kind of relationship if I knew that the person is HIV positive. I have my own set of problems and don't need to deal with more.

If you can get your head around it all why not 😊

Watching people I cared about just wither away from AIDS. I think I would fear both contracting HIV & possibly having to watch another loved one suffer in such a painful nightmare.
