Lol I dated one guy since I got hiv and he refused to even have safe sex with me. I hope one day I’ll find someone who can look past the stigma and just love me as I am. It’s affected me very much

I still run into guys all the time, as soon as you mention hiv, suddenly they have to walk the dog or something like that. When that happens, I know it's going to be a mighty long walk! Lol. I always know the ones that you will never hear from n again. I'd rather date someone that is positive. It's a shame there's still so much stigma and ignorance out there, when there's so much information out there, and the meds have improved drastically.

Well fine is there a lot of people have a very negative feeling about HIV. It can be difficult dating with disclosure.
