Do You Feel Like HIV Is Not An Issue When Dating?

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Dallas, TX

When I was on grinder I put it in my header (HIV+ & Undetectable) and when I told my now husband I was HIV+ his response was very sexual and took me completely off guard! Maybe I was the exception but what do you think?

I think it depends on where you are living. Here in NM, it is a big deal to most people. I am always open on a dating site about it because that is who I am. But it is frustrating that so many here are still prejudiced against those who are poz. It is the only reason I would consider moving away....

I have been dealing with this disease since the mid 80s in one capacity or other. It used to be instant death for your love life when someone found out. I see less and less of that reaction now. Keep hanging on. I got Married 2 years ago at 56.

My husband is not positive. He never said anything but hope and love. From the moment I told him. We been together for nine years and married for 1year our anniversary was the 10th.

I love the topic and the graphics. I’ve become accustomed to checking HIV Pos.Undetectable on any dating site that I’m on.

I’ve also been in national magazines telling my story. Still if I like someone and they are not connected to the community it becomes harder for me to have the conversation face to face.

In my case as with others When you add HIV and Aging into the equation Yes it gets quite different
