What are some "standard" parts of life that aren’t so standard when living with HIV?

For some people, parts of life liking donating blood, going on vacation, getting tattoos, or pursuing a romantic relationship can be quick decisions...with little to no precaution taken or research done beforehand.

But for people living with HIV, these parts of life - and many others - aren't always so "standard." They involve careful preparation, research, talking to friends or family members, and consulting with doctor(s) to make sure safe, healthy decisions are made.

What are some "standard" parts of your life that aren’t so standard?

Today, what parts of life make you take extra precautions or involve extra preparation beforehand?
