Has Anyone Had Someone Reject Them After Years Of Being Together Because Of Their Hiv Status

A myHIVteam Member asked a question 💭
Pittsburgh, PA

I've been with my husband for 8 yrs, and married for 6 yrs, he knew I was hiv positive and had no problem but over the last years it has become a problem. What can I do? I need help with this issue!

Not because of my status but because of my poor health. We were together for 20 yrs. It devastated me.

Hard to say....You have a marriage. There could be a lot of underlying things other than HIV and they are just using that. For instance, In what way has your HIV become a problem? Sexually? Does he have to pick up more slack around the house? Have you flooded the kitchen and he had to be the one to deal with the landlord? I'm trying to look at at from my friend's perspective.
