Have You Found It Difficult To Date While Being Poz?

When your date sees that you have antivirals in the medicine cupboard, and he abruptly leaves.

I let them know from the very beginning so there will be no surprises.

My first question would be why are they getting into your medical cabinet in the first place. You're going to find that people who are educated about HIV won't care about your status. The uneducated will run like the wind. Guarantee me, the ones who run and are uneducated, will be the ones who get HIV and wonder why.

@A myHIVteam Member, that could have meant 2 different things. 1) that he actually meant it was a big turn on, because he was bi-bug chaser (bug chasers are a real thing), or 2) He just said that so that you would be the one to end the date so that he didn't have to look like the jerk. Either way, no loss it sounds like.

What is a date? I think that I might have had one of those 30+ years ago (and I haven't been positive that many years).

I went on a date with a guy I was chatting with online of course. We were having a really good time and we started talking about sex,of course. And I did tell him that I was HIV positive . Full disclosure. And he said that's a big turn on I'm getting hard now so I promptly said thank you,that's the end of the date.
