It's extremely possible to get in a relationship no matter what your HIV status is.

My best advice is to learn to love and accept yourself and your status. Don't be afraid of it. Fight it and overcome it

Once you do that, love will find you...

Dont try too hard. Try to concentrate on your favourite pastimes. I went down this pathway instead of looking for a partner. I found love from my Pets so no need for a partner now

I believe it’s hard for anyone to find the right partner. Maybe it’s partially luck? HIV adds one more component. Don’t give up, and don’t compromise. It is possible to be happy alone, but impossible to be happy with the wrong person.
