How Do You Navigate HIV and Your Relationships?

The challenge of being in a relationship and HIV positive can be daunting. We'd love to hear from people living with HIV who are in or have been in mixed or dual-status relationships and how you navigate dating, disclosure, and intimacy.

  1. Hi I never been in a relationship since my fiance past away 2010 it's my first time disclose my status here

  2. Hi . I'm sorry to hear about your Fiancé. Traveling this path can be challenging enough; bearing the burden of a loved one's death doesn't make it any easier.

    So many of us here in this community understand what that is like. I lost my first partner to AIDS 30 years ago, and I thought I would never be with someone again, but it turned out I was wrong.

    I want to share one of my favorite discussions about relationships from HIV.net. I hope it speaks to you.

  3. I have yet to find love. One, I needed time to heal after my diagnosis 3 years ago. I find most men just want sex. I’ve grown past this phase. I want a committed relationship with a man who desires the same. I am so enjoying my singleness and a peace of mind. I refuse to settle but loving me is a beautiful gift in the making.
