Dating

Question??? How do you handle dating? When do you tell your status? And if rejected, how do you feel?

@A myHIVteam Member Thank you. Usually it doesn't bother me because 9 out 10 accept me for who I am. But that 1 that I really wanted to accept me, broke my heart into a million tiny pieces. It's so crazy how the word HIV can make someone look at you like your filth of the earth. I know I'll be alright, but I've worked hard on building up my self-esteem, just to let one heartbreak to knock me back 5 steps. Much love to you. 😘

I just put myself out there. This is what I want. Try to tell my status right away but never make it a topic of conversation, unless they want to. Rejection sucks. I’ve never let it get to me tho. On to the next one, if one doesn’t want to deal with it, there is someone out there who will and it’ll change your life ;)
